What every happen to Dana ?, last I saw her, she was living in Cal-City maybe ten years ago. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

I banged a few elbows on twin beechs and DC-3 doors Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

spike's beech, maybe may of 84 Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

I thought he was 1pac after getting a nut shot off. garphic photo, I'm not kidding Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

Our beech started out with a small round door, A buddy and I working on the B-1B production line had all the tool and supplies to install an "air stairs" door that had a flat bottom that could be removed. Also was installed were a set of "pockets" for hand holds that work out great. I have also jumped a D-18 with a small round and no kind flooter grips, and your right very hard to hang on. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

The 2nd type of plane I jumped , was a super beech, large door, I have over a 100 jumps from this beech, N2AP, outta Cal-City. Last time I jumped one was at a demo in Kansas a couple of years, But even today jumping outta King Air's ain't that easy. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

And then there's Cal-City, about 2.5 hours north of the big city. were small, but have an otter, and in-door packing in a 20,000 sq. ft. hanger, sometimes get winded, but we drink beer and play with guns. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

Subject: FW: Lexington Issue Brief - THE DUMBEST WEAPONS DECISION OF THE DECADE In case you need a little morale booster this morning! Lexington issue Briefs are targeted for Congressional Member to read (and they do). Freely pass on as you wish. David M. Bowman Vice President and C-17 Program Manager Boeing Integrated Defense Systems issue Brief September 13, 2006 THE DUMBEST WEAPONS DECISION OF THE DECADE Loren B. Thompson, Ph.D. One of the eternal mysteries of large organizations is the way they bring smart people together in support of dumb ideas. Invading Iraq. Merging with AOL. Building the Edsel. It's hard to believe the best and brightest minds of a generation were involved in making such decisions, but they were. There's an extensive body of academic literature that explains how organizational processes produce sub-optimal outcomes, even when everyone in the room is a genius. But don't take my word for it -- look at the Pentagon's recent decision to terminate production of its C-17 cargo plane. The C-17 Globemaster III is by all accounts the best long-range military transport ever built. It can fly very big loads into very small places, it has a 90% mission-capable rate, it is cheap to operate, and it costs no more than a commercial airliner. The plane is so popular with military users that it is being used at a rate 40% higher than expected. Basically, every C-17 that's available is in use everyday, delivering supplies to troops in Afghanistan, providing humanitarian relief to refugees, evacuating wounded soldiers from Iraq (which is one reason why the time it takes to get wounded from the war zone to stateside hospitals has declined from ten days in the first Gulf War to three days today). So of course, policymakers have decided to stop building the plane. They say they have enough C-17's to meet strategic airlift needs for the foreseeable future. Even though their stated requirement for how much airlift is needed hasn't changed since a "Mobility Requirements Study" was conducted in 2000. Perhaps you remember what it was like back then. No global war on terror. No shift to expeditionary warfare. No plans to return troops in Europe to the U.S. No big hurricane evacuations. The good old days. So how is it possible that a projection of future airlift needs calculated before 9-11 could still be valid? Simple -- you just make up the assumptions to assure they give you the results you wanted. And just to be on the safe side, you keep almost everybody from the Air Force's mobility community out of the room. That's how the Pentagon did its update of the 2000 study last year, producing a mobility analysis that concluded the war on terror and the Katrina disaster added nothing to the discussion about future airlift needs. Is it any wonder that many Americans believe in conspiracy theories? Someday in the not-so-distant future, American soldiers are going to die because the joint force couldn't get essential supplies into some remote airstrip fast enough. When that day comes, critics will recall the optimistic assumptions that justified killing the nation's only modern jet airlifter and say, "How could anybody think that 180 C-17's would be enough to cover the world when the only other long-range airlifter in the fleet was designed in the 1960's, couldn't use small airstrips, and had chronic reliability problems? It must be some sort of a conspiracy!" Believe it or not, the reason policymakers say they shouldn't buy more C-17's is that Congress won't allow them to retire old cargo planes, and if they have too many planes the airlines will stop setting aside widebodies for military missions. Apparently they haven't heard that the reason airlines are dumping widebodies is because they're shifting from hub-and-spoke to point-to-point commercial routes. With half the nation's airlines facing bankruptcy, military missions are the last thing on their minds. But fear not -- the Pentagon says it will mothball the C-17 production line just in case it's needed again. There must be some other conspiracy to freeze all those skilled workers who otherwise would have to find new jobs. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

be careful where you point that thing, It might go off. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

So far all great ideas, but the details won't work, First of all, if I could find it's hole I'd need only one boa, and then a mongoose to get rid of the snake, better yet, I'd camp out in front of it's hole with my Ithaca 10ga. road blocker and do the dirty work myself. Being in Calif. the environmental laws prevent me for buying Mustard gas, same for the C-4. I do have some old skydiving tapes with a Kenny Loggins song, "Highway to the danger zone", but I'd cap myself if I hear that again. How did you know I hated golfers? it's the stupid short pants and funny shoes they wear, (I have the same feeling about headdown flyer and there jumpsuits.) and they have all that grass with 18 little windsocks and I can't land or pack on. But keep the ideas coming one's gotta work Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

Ok, I have a gopher problem , this subterranean rat has no mounds anywhere or ever see him. but he dumps his dirt in my sprinkler valve box from some tunnel that I can't find. one day it's empty the next day it's packed with a 5 gallon bucket worth of dirt to the top. I'd love to trap, poison, or otherwise kill this vermin, I'm about to turn Carl Spackler from Caddy Shack on his rodent ass. what can I do? this has been going on all summer.

[reply Whats a round? what we use to call a parachute, much like your pilotchute, they landed a little better then a pilotchute. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

First one was in 1987 jump 194, line knot, used my SAC 22, 2nd. one jump 598 in 1989, broken lines used my Ravine II, much better landing then the SAC. last one jump 2276 in 2003, cut-away handle got knocked out of the pocket and released the main on exit, had the whole skydive to decide what to do, opening hurt alittle, time to get rid of the Ravine, it saved me twice.

Didn't you go to High School with Magellan ? Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

We did that a couple of times, in 1988 we got winded at the boogie and static-lined Mr. Pumpkin a few times, got bored with all the good canopy rides and soft landings and packed a malfunction using a technic taught to us by Billy Reed that would guarantee for a round to fail, It did. It splattered all over the ground, witnessed by the airport manager. He came out in his little truck with the emergency lights on to find all the jumpers laughing at him. The 2nd. time was in 1991 or so, The weather was great and the boogie was going well. We took Mr. Pumpkin after his AFF course to do some 8 to 10-way SCR loads. After a couple of good loads, It was sunset it was time to use the packing technics taught to us a couple of years before. Somehow the spot went long and when we got out we were over the main road coming into town, Not a good thing to have a very large pumpkin packed with a malfunction over a busy road. Well we pulled him and we track and opened and watched a streamer go in about 50 feet from the road. Cars pulled over to investigate. the rest is skydiving history.

I don't think you could see the real country even with your glasses, my mistake, I did a quick cut and paste off the net. try this link http://www.eurasianet.org/resource/kazakhstan/images/kazakhstan_map2.gif Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

I like Kittens, because they taste like chicken. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

left of the Mid-East, near Central Asia close to all the other stan's, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. I think the 101st. or 82nd. has a small club in one of those. they do a lot of solos,...... Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

I never heard of a dropzone banning nakie jumps, How many did you ask? What is this sport coming too,......... banning nude jumps? Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

And there's "falling free" which is about skydiving by the Alan Parson's project from the ablum "Air", an old standard "Don't fear the reaper" by BOC, bottom of container???? no wait, Blue oyster cult. But one thing cool about music, the words can mean anything you like. Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,
