That is just part of the PowerDocker (tm) training regimen. Justin

We are, except for Skreamer, who is salivating. Justin

Yes, there is. We will all crash Chuck's trailer. Justin

SkyDekker, why did you have to go there? WHY? I had a perfectly nice mental image of women with various-sized, aesthetically-pleasing breasts, and you go and throw Clay into the picture. You bastard! Justin

I definitely agree. Just because all I can draw are stick figures, doesn't mean I want to be with them in bed. We've been over the boobie size thing before on the boards. But talking about boobies is never bad, so I'll reiterate: Boobies are good. Big ones. Small ones. Medium ones. Generally, I have a preference for real ones. Justin

Forget Ocean City. They are a Cessna-driven tandem factory. I called them to go and make some fun jumps, and the response was, "We only do tandems, no fun jumpers." They seem like they just want to sell tandems as an amusement ride to summer beach visitors. Near the area you are visiting, try Skydive Delmarva. It is a nice DZ. I haven't been to Salisbury to comment. Justin

This came up at the DZ this past weekend. Another low-timer (75 jumps) and I (66 jumps) were considering doing some no-contact practice CRW. We didn't end up doing it because it got sort of gusty, but I'd like some input and tips for newbies. We weren't intending to touch, or even get too close, but we talked to the DZO and got some general advice. He said: Keep 100 ft separation Scissor legs to show that you see each other Have a hook knife Disconnect RSLs If we did "get a burr up our asses and try to dock", break off above 3000 feet. If we did accidently wrap, communicate and make a plan Bottom jumper to cutaway first, then top jumper try to clear junk and cutaway if needed Other thoughts or suggestions, for when I eventually try this? We weren't going to dock, but I'd like to know some more details on CRW emergency procedures if I'm even going to be flying close to other canopies. Thanks! Justin

Just arch harder. Oh, nevermind. Saw who posted that. Justin

Beers or years? Or both? Justin

Jessica, Easy now. I was just clarifying. I figured if you specified, you might improve your chances for getting "rides". Since I'm nowhere near Florida, I was just trying to help you out. Justin
-
Does that jump with you involve an airplane? Justin
-
Nope. And my 0:5:0 would have been the same either way.

Dave, While I agree with the sentiment, it was touching to see a "Big Ole Aggie Jarhead" like you in touch with your sensitive side. Justin
-
It is the number of times over the weekend, regardless of who it was with, as long as they were people. Despite what others on this forum may say, sheep and poodles do not count. I'm not mentioning the names of the protestors.... Justin

Times you had sex : Number of Skydives : Number of cases owed That help? Justin

I'm talking trash, but using a painting as my thumbnail. Go figure. Justin

Well, we can tell you apart from Slappie, but you're scaring us with that picture! Justin

Have any of you Brits been in a little racing photo shop in Windsor? They had all kinds of F-1 prints and artwork. It was really sweet. I picked up a drawing signed by the artist and Coulthard, who was the subject. Like I could have afforded even an unsigned Senna print... Justin

0:5:0 Last 10 jumps Justin

Aside from the jungle-gym issue, another one I see is actually getting out the door. Assuming that the plane is not configured with a jump door (safe assumption), the door would have to open forward, pushing against the windstream. I can see that being a major pain, and maybe impossible without the help of a passenger inside. Unless the door can simply be removed temporarily. Justin PS Mike, so I guess I picked a bad example picture, huh?
-
Rob, I understand the reasons why seaplanes wouldn't be regular jumpships. But if the hypothetical opportunity were to present itself....
-
I dunno. Unlike a regular jump plane, there is a lot of crap down there. Struts and floats and stuff. I was thinking that you'd have to climb down onto the float, then jump from there. See the attached picture. You'd have to get a hefty jump out the door to clear everything. Justin
-
Dave, Ever hear of a car wash? Justin

Hey Folks. I was wondering if anyone out there has ever jumped from a seaplane? Well, anyone other than Spectre230, who did, dozens of times, right as the plane was going over Niagra Falls, no less. Seriously... Has anyone ever done it? If so, what sort of seaplane was it and how did you do the exit. Did you just climb out onto the float? I know Cessna's are commonly converted to seaplanes. There are also some Otters out there in similar configuration, as well as tons of other stuff not usually seen as jumpships. Just to clarify, I am not saying I've done this, because I haven't. So I don't want the "liar, liar pants on fire" shit to start up. But I'm just looking for details, because there might be an opportunity in the future. If it ever does happen, there will be video. Justin

Congrats Chuck. I hope you forgive me, but I'm with the Remster on this one. Let's get to the important stuff. So, Paula, fess up. Not that our imaginations haven't already finished the whole scenario, but we'd like to know what actually occurred. Justin
