    The BOD didn't elect you, Kip. What obligations did you have to them? You petitioned to represent the skydivers in your region. That's where your obligations should have been directed. Owned by Remi #?

    Jeez I feel old. I remember the first time I put gas in a car right after I got my license.. 1978 at Stubby's Shell Station (becauce in 1978 it was still PC to call a guy who lost an arm in Vietnam "Stubby" It was .59 cents a gallon and Stubby checked the oil and cleaned the windows.

    If I could get Crane Lake in a 5 liter box I'd be in heaven... what would that cost? About $6.99? Owned by Remi #?

    This really can't be coincidence. This fits somewhere in the synchronicity model perfectly. Edit to add a , and Owned by Remi #?

    Yes, as far as I can tell. The USPA doesn't have wind limits, doesn't tell us we can't jump in the rain, and allows night jumps for people meeting the requirements (which are very basic). As long as the equipment was certified for jumping that wouldn't be a problem. The clouds might be an issue as far as the FAA is concerned, but... well... it's not like it would be the first time someone jumped into heavy industrial haze. Owned by Remi #?

    20 lbs more / less weight under the canopy will also affect rate of descent, so until someone can put Cooper and everything he was carrying when he exited on a scale and do the math I still believe that 28 vs 26 feet is meaningless. Owned by Remi #?

    Fair enough, Dave.. but I'd argue that (as someone who has been in the business of applying "details" to helping provide evidence for solving crimes for a very long time) that given a set of variables where some of the variables are undetermined (either the agent made a mistake or the rigger did and there's no way to prove which without actually finding the canopy at this point in the game) it just doesn't matter anymore.

    Since landing location, wind speed, time of the jump, and the exact airspeed of the jump are all undetermined, I think it's bullshit that a 26' round vs a 28' round really "matters" Owned by Remi #?

    I got my degree about 15 years ago. I'd guess it got me about $20,000 a year income more than I would have been able to get without it. I spent about $40,000 on school. It was worth it for me because I do work that I love to do and I make decent money doing it. I think I'm lucky. Owned by Remi #?

    I think it's more about ego than jump numbers. I've heard the term used often enough to describe talented skydivers with thousands of jumps also. Owned by Remi #?
