    Hi Blind, Good point. I've always wondered if it would be possible to get the specifications (FAA-speak) via the Freedom Of Information Act. You might contact the nearest Aircraft Certification Office of where the company was located last and contact them. What's to be lost but some time? JerryBaumchen

    Hi jon, The email that I got says: Since the first reunion, it has become one of the most important "get togethers" for those of who started jump in the 50s and 60s and has expanded from the original and early pioneers to modern pioneers who started jumping in the 70s and 80s. Just so you know . . . JerryBaumchen

    Hi jimmy, Oh, H*** yes. Ours were always a buck each in the pot and 'one tie all tie' which meant another buck in the pot and another round if two or more guys got the disc. It was all part of the jump life in you lived in the PacNW with our low ceilings. JerryBaumchen PS) Tbrown: I loved that one about where to put your thumb in the 3-ring. PRICELESS

    Hi Speed, My edit. And when they do they eat at MacDonalds or Pizza Hut, stay in the local Hilton or Sheraton. Yea, real world travellers. Where do I go to puke, JerryBaumchen PS) I apologize for the sarcasm but I've travelled to Asia, South America, Australia, Europe and a whole bunch of North America and I've seen it. I'm all for enjoying the local flavors.

    Hi Billy, I think that there is a Congressman from somewhere in the midwest who is a Muslim. I understand he took the oath with his hand on the Koran. So what????? JerryBaumchen PS) It is not what you are, it is what you do.

    Hi Thanatos, At this point in time it is my understanding that only Vector III & Javelin with their SkyHook system. I do know of others that are in the testing phase at this time; not just SkyHook. No, I will not provide any additional information; that is up to each mfr to provide it, if & when they so choose. I think that you will see some additional rigs with some system at PIA/Reno. JerryBaumchen

    Hi Dave, This may be totally nutzy but I 'think' that I heard that he had been, at one time, a member of the Israeli army (?), secret service (?), something. Anyone else have an idea? JerryBaumchen

    Hi sky, ALL voting in Oregon is by mail. Even if you go to the Registrar's Office. They then check the signature on the inner envelope (that you must sign) against your signature on file. If they match your vote gets counted. If not . . . . JerryBaumchen

    Hi bill, You sure are having a lot of fun these days. Sort of reminds me of Jay Leno's comment when Clinton left office: I'm gonna miss that guy. JerryBaumchen

    Hi Amazon, Count me in with you. I have never not voted since I first became eligible in '64. Even if billvon likes to say it won't make a difference, I consider it my civic duty. Oh, and I spent 3 yrs 10 months & 24 days in Uncle Sammie's uniform. I like to think that I understand civic duty.* JerryBaumchen * But I may be wrong.

    Hi Mike, That was very nice of you. No matter who wins, we will bitch & complain when they do something we don't like & praise them when they do something we do like. It is America, after all.
