    I agree with Rob's post about weight. A smaller person might well be OK landing it but a bigger person not so much, especially one of this vintage.

    Someone is selling a Firelite reserve. They want $250 for it. In my mind it's a car cover https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/686784093754702/?media_id=2&ref=share_attachment Edit to add: the $250 is not just for the Firelite. It includes and old Vector too

    TEST

    Curious about how the word will get out that the forums are back. I posted in the Skydiving Reddit and a group on FB but pretty much no activity in the forums other than on the DB Copper thread

    If you use an Apple iPhone the answer is easy... their Air Tags. If you use android, stay away from Samsung Smarttags... they only work with Samsung phones. I made the mistake, but won't again. Rather look for tags that work with Google Find which works on all Android phones including Samsung. By example... https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/gadgets-tech/google-android-airtag-tracker-b2526969.html

    What are the differences between your two products?

    I'd be much more concerned if I was looking at evidence of improperly cut closing loops. I've seen none in this thread and heard of none in the sport.

    Unfortunately this is not an option. Over the years I've tried to get the data updated but no one a dz.com responds. Thanks for creating a map!

    Very cool. The DZs in Alberta are way out of date. What's the best way to send you updates? This page shows the 3 Alberta DZs today Alberta Sport Parachuting Association - Dropzones (aspa.ca) (full disclosure I'm the webmaster for ASPA.ca whose function is "The Alberta Sport Parachuting Association is a non-profit organization that promotes sport skydiving in Alberta") These are from the KMZ file and are incorrect
  20. IanHarrop
    Unfortunately the dropzone info is way out of date on here. If you do go about scraping the info and creating something new, it would be great to have a way for users to provide feedback for updates.
