Chicago. I think they were supposed to land at Montrose Harbor, which would put them from 1/4 to one mile off target depending on where they were supposed to set down. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Was just watching the news - they mentioned that one member of the Golden Knights was "blown off course" and landed in Lincoln Park instead of on the beach! They quoted a total of 2 million spectators over the last two days, not sure how many were there today. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

It was pretty funny each time I saw you getting towed by someone new or riding on a golf cart with the blades still on. I know there were a few comments on how we didn't mind you out there in those boke shorts _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

You always looked a bit busy on the rollerblades of yours. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

There were other people there as well!!! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

how'd she do that??? I believe that video is on one of the last Quincy videos. Basically it was a head on collision and the higher jumper tore thru the canopy on impact and briefly was tangled in it. As soon as they cleared the jumper with the torn canopy did some pretty quick handle pulling, had a short reserve ride, and slid in safely. I don't think they ever found who flew into him. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

I enjoy the older Simpsons! I find the differances funny! Plus, how can you not enjoy the mascot episode??? Also - Futurama should never have been canceled! That is a great show and I try to catch that and Family guy on Adult Swim as much as possible. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Well, I am part of the flock now (thanks to Kris for lending me his GTI). Thanks to Scott (not LouD) for the coaching as well! I averaged 90mph on the first jump and lows 70s on my 2nd. I even did my third BM jump from the chopper (about 21 seconds of flight jumping from 7k and dumping about 5K). Too bad it will be a while before I can afford my own GTI! I've been reading Kevin's site and as much as possible on Wing Suit Flying since I have been home from the convention. My question has to deal with flat spins (and I did see the video on Kevin's site). What is the best order for trying to fix them? This is my guess: 1)Ball Up to try to stop the spin 2) Arch out of the ball then extend wings 3) If spin can't be stopped, pull wing cutaway handles. Please let me know if my thoughts are wrong on this. Thanks _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

So kids make sure you try it only at a NON USPA DZ. Why? Nobody opened below the hard deck. And if I recall - the WFFC is NOT a USPA DZ. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

I'm surprised no one mentioned the guy that landed his canopy on the nose of the Casa - while the props were still spinning. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

It was also the plot line to one of the "Lone Gunman" episodes ....that X File spin off. They showed in the episode a huge jet flying at the WTC _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Keep in mind the camera narrows your field of view so you don't see everything else that's going on around you. Like the GK side by side CRW landing that happened just by it? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Problems: The three straddle benches in the back make life very uncomfortable on the way up and the cross-support for the wing that cuts across the bottom of the cabin is very easy to trip on. With 15 people on board gear checks are pretty much impossible. 17 people in that plane will be near impossible, and they admitted that at the convention. The benches are high enough that if you get up just a bit to much you wack your head and rig on the top of the cabin or on the two bars that run along the sides (I have a few new dents in my helmet from them). The plane is smaller inside than a Caravan and it feels more crampped than a King Air. I'm used to the door of an otter, so it is wierd having to go under the inside floater bar to get out the short door (wierd that you can see across the top of the plane when you are floating), and on a quick exit its very easy to hit your head on that bar. The prop blast is different than an otter of course, and it blows a burning smell into the cabin whenever the door is open. The fuselage is rounded, so the plane could never compete with the caravan for hauling just cargo/boxes. Good things: Huge outside floater bar, plenty of places to outside float (including the wing and the lower step), wide door, inside air vents to help cool off the jumpers, quiet inside, low windows so everyone can spot from their seat and have a view on the ride up (I was able to watch all of the WFFC traffic on the way up top), fairly quick ride up. I was told that the plane is deceptive on the ground - the tail flies higher when airborne (and it is 22inches further back than a Caravans Tail). I noticed on jumprun that it seemed to go nose low/tail high on the cut...but the pilot told me that with flaps it flies that way without losing altitude (and I double checked myself - I exited last at almost the same altitutude as the first group). It's not a bad plane - its just differnt than what I am used to. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Big Fish, Adaptation, Rundown, Man Who Wasn't There, Girl With the Pearl Earring, Hellboy, Stuck On You, Matchstick Men, Miracle. I didn't enjoy Last Samurai at all. Tom Cruise just can't act, he just stares at the camera. Yes, I watch a lot of movies - between me and my two roommates we have close to 800 dvds _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

And here in lies the paradox with violence and war. It is human nature to defend and fight back. Now add in nationalistic ego or religious pride and you have a feedback loop that can never end. The first punch was thrown eons ago and it there is no end in sight. Which is why I feel the military is a necessary evil. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Ah, but have you seen the bill being passed around in congress? It would make anything connected to copyright infrigment illegal in the hopes of getting rid of P2P. This would include blank CDs, iPods, Tivo, etc.... _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

A country has the right to defend itself. This is the same excuse we used.
