    This topic has been touched on before. Has anyone found skydivers in the air on satellite pics? I believe there's a canopy, probably a tandem, in the air at Marana as viewed by Google Earth. I've been looking at others, but no luck so far. Some DZs are in the Low Resolution section. If you don't have Google Earth GET it. _______________________ Russell M.

    Ahh, another LOG BOOk poster! I'm still using FoxBase that I purchased almost twenty years ago. I'd like to incorporate the database into Access and use its great query tools. Right now, I just print it out as a text file and suck it into Excel for export to a web page. _______________________ Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

    Just curious. I did 296 tandems in 2005. Didn't work much in Jan, Feb and Dec. ________________ Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

    Not excactly direct deploy, but I have hundreds of jumps on a square with a Chaffin "diaper" Basically it was a 3 flap device that was sewn to the side of the canopy. The rig was flat packed on top of the diaper that closed around the canopy. The lines were stowed on the diaper. The first bight held it closed. Round reserves had diapers also. J Schrimsher knows about them, because he was packing them up as a ten year old. Really makes me feel like an old fart talking about THAT stuff since the ten year old is pushing forty. I remember Forest McBride jumping a diapered square out of a B-4 container with a front mount reserve. ____________________ Russell M.

    The goggles are solid except for pinholes. You CAN see fine for exit and ff, but I take em off immediately after opening. If you haven't seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I highly recommend it. It's a trip. ________________________ Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

    I squinted my way to Sam's Club and just got back. They said lenses would be $215 compared to $331 at LensCrafters, but the LensCrafters price included sales tax and I would *not* have to leave my frames. I don't think they should charge sales tax on glasses. Not a bad deal, actually. Walt Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

    In between Del Rio and Fort Stockton, TX, there's one right beside of Highway 90. I've got pictures somewhere, and I'll post em if I find em. I was wondering the same thing. It's a death waiting to happen. I suppose all of the local yokel pilots within 200 miles know about it, though. ___________________ Russell M.

    Nope. Uh, yes. I'm a fat bastard who's been lying around all winter. These were "learning" jumps. Students didn't pay for vid. I'll try your advice on future jumps, though. _______________ Russell M. Webb D 7014 Attorney at Law 713 385 5676 https://www.tdcparole.com

    I noticed some sore left shoulder muscles after four tandems with the hand cam. HERE are some stills from it.

    I posted this on rec years ago. My girlfriend, a complete whuffo, listened to me talk about jumping over a period of time and wrote the following. (Copyright Pamela Rome.) SKY DIVE JIVE Ain't it cute my parachute? Wanna boogie 'till I puke Gotta pack, Jack Like paratroopers all in a row we jog to the aircraft try not to be slow (Barfing's o.k. bouncing is not if I say "going in" I've the head of a pin) We're up in the sky we're excited we're high nor embarrassed to fart 'cause it shows we got heart we got plenty of balls after all our free falls Pop when we drop so we won't grossly plop and end up as slop for some soppy old mop Over the hump jump, jump, jump (That ribbon of snot snaking out of my snout wasn't meant to be pretty yet it won't interfere with the view of the city) Land on our knees we don't feel the hurt better by far than a head in the dirt but shit, it's damn sweet to land on our feet!
