Whenever you get a craving (and you are going to for a while) take a deep breath and realize how good it feels not to be a slave.

The presence of Farmer Mcfriendly in Pitt Meadows is no accident. Ever since Ian Flanagan bought Pacific Skydivers he has made being a good neighbour a high priority. No complaint gets ignored, and when there is property damage he simply writes a cheque and writes it off as part of the cost of doing business. When the local Deer Farmer told him the price of his customers landing out in his field was a contribution to Ducks Unlimited he made a contribution in kind for years afterward. When ATC was wary of us landing on the airport or so close to Vancouver International he issued a standing invite to all the controllers for a free fam flight and/or tandem. All controllers who take him up on the tandem are offered free instruction. Over the years these and other initiatives have cost him a few thousand bucks and saved him priceless amounts in headache remedies. The last time I had a mal in Pitt Meadows the Main and freebag landed in town about a block apart. By the time I got my passenger in the hanger and drove over to the main a guy had pulled the canopy off the trailer it landed on and sent his son down the street to get the freebag. They were folded neatly by the curb waiting for me. BTW Flanagan is going to Lodi tomorrow to get the other KA.

According to your profile you have 10 jumps over 6 years and have an exit weight of 356lbs. An Hornet 190 will give you a wing loading of 1.87. perhaps you should get your A licence before loading up quite that high.

The government of Argintina invading the Falklands in an attempt to use nationalism to prop up a faltering regime comes to mind.

Why do you think it will lead to world war? Will the Arabs fall in line with the Persians? Will the Russians? the Chinese? the rest of the non-Arab Muslims? Surely the Europeans will further recoil from the US if they invade Iran, but I am not sure how this will lead to world War.

That seems contradictary to what the Libertarian website says. according to lb.org, they would like to match contributions dollar for dollar to charitable organizations. Do not confuse libertarianism with the American Libertarian Party. There are political parties in many countries who have different slants on what it is to be libertarian. Although American political thought may well claim the fountainhead of libertarian philosophy(Jefferson is surely the father of libertarian thought), that does not mean that the policies of the American Libertarian Party are "pure."

Any reason to not have mostly black canopy?
Andrewwhyte replied to doorgirl's topic in Gear and Rigging
Black material absorbs more light than other colours, including UV. It may deteriorate faster. Strong was making the case for white top skins on SET 400's. -

Tandem or AFF for first jump
Andrewwhyte replied to jumpinfarmer's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Tandem, but make sure the TM knows he wants to continue training and would like a learning experience. -

Canadian with a USPA A License
Andrewwhyte replied to dekac99's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
No just at CSPA dropzones. If you move to Britain you will have to join BPA, move to Australia and join APf, move to,... get the picture? -
Canadian with a USPA A License

Our insurance is not valid for incidents involving Canadian residents without a CSPA membership. We will happily recognize your foreign training, but you must join CSPA to jump at Pacific, Alberta or Niagara Skydivers. -
I kinda feel bad for the guy after all these years but the Canadian government has no business prying into the affairs of an American in America. The fact that he may also have Canadian citizenship is irrelevent, if he wanted sanctuary from his old government he should not have returned. I have heard of people getting into trouble returning to see their dying mother, but a vacation in Reno, gimme a break.

¿¿Que?? We do not offer static line here in Cabo. We offer AFF by American, Canadian or Mexican rated instructors.
