    Some people classify anyone who isn't cleared for self supervision (IE they must have an instructor with them or assisting them) a student and refer to an unlicensed jumper as a novice. Some people consider an unlicensed jumper a student. Owned by Remi #?

    How many Republicans are there? It's not that I'm happy to see you... it's just that I have a couple of spicy chicken biscuits hidden in my underware. Owned by Remi #?

    The above statement is bullshit. The "gay community" does not elect representatives or have an organized agenda against Chick-Fil-A. SOME (read, very few) gay people got their panties in a wad over a donation, don't lump me in with them,please. Jesus Christ, what would it take to convince you people that gays don't have some kind of secret, unified front and that we *all* get together for planning meetings? I just went and looked at that petition. ~ 15,000 people have signed it. By conservatives estimates, that's less than half of one percent of the self-identified gay population in the US. I'm with my friends in the 99.5% of the gay community who really don't want the .5% to speak for them. Owned by Remi #?

    Ummm.. no. A single franchise donates food to a single event and a single, group of gays gets all upset. No one I know could care less about it. Bigger fish to fry.... Owned by Remi #?

    Where did you get that? It doesn't really matter, so never mind.... We've been in a minimum for quite a while now. When you're at the bottom of cyclic minimum, that means there will inevitably be an increase. Minimums usually come about 11 years apart, so we probably wont be at maximum for 5-6 years.

    4 or 5 years ago I did a high hop n hop at sunset and had a Mylar balloon hit me square in the chest while I was doing a 180 to locate the guy who exited after me. It scared the bejezzuz out of me in the moment but after I collected my wits I was tickled to death. Now, every time I open high I think of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too. And every time I see a Winnie or Tigger pic, I think of opening high. Owned by Remi #?

    Did the project continue after funding was withdrawn? If not, I don't understand why he would stay. I feel like I'm missing some information. If the project didn't continue why would you say money was his motivation? Did his withdrawal stop the project? Owned by Remi #?

    Plenty of people have commented on the similarity of the 2 canopies in other threads. I'm not sure where pilot-one is coming from. The Sabre2 is similar to both of these canopies also. It's been said that the Hornet tends to be a snappy opener, but I didn't notice that with either of the Hornets I've owned. I've never owned a Pilot, but I've demoed one a few times and found that it flies very similarly to the Sabre2 I own now, but the few times I jumped it, it opened on-heading and fully inflated which is something that my Sabre2 rarely does. So, I've owned a couple of Hornets and a couple of Sabre2s, and flown a few Pilots. I don't smoke crack and I found them all very much alike.

    I'd just leave it at "balloons" and say they have been identified. Owned by Remi #?

    Hey again. I just listened to the older interview and realize that he gives his snail mail address, not his email address.... so send him a letter. Owned by Remi #?

    I guess I didn't understand your post. It sounded an awful lot like you were saying that if you don't want SS, go invest elsewhere. Not an option here. That was my point. Owned by Remi #?

    Meh. If that's your perception of "personal attack" I'm going to approach your perception of "push and shove" with a great deal of skepticism. Owned by Remi #?
