When I looked at the picture showing the 'dents" along the airfoil surface (first link noted) the thing that came tomind was the Starfighter. Well that and other jets previously trying to break the sound barrier. Someone came up with the "curvy" shape to the body of the jets to improve airflow and shockingly it worked.. I did not read the site but looking at the shape does have a valid aerodynamic effect though I am not sure if it applies to WS's. I will see if I can find some info on it but I recently saw something about it on a TV documentary on Discovery (maybe) called "Fighter" or someting like that... Scott C.

I flew over to Lodi today and picked up the Mach1. I'll jump it this weekend. Be safe Ed Ed, I will look forward to your impressions of the Mach 1 Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Finally, kind of a voice of reason. If the suit does not have a cool name it will be shunned and assumed to basically suck .. This on the surface seems to be an extremely poor marketing plan i.e. give a good name to a suit that is only transient... Maybe this will morph and they will start "infering" a similar sounding name just to add to confusion. Maybe go with a "Mach 1 - V3". Glean from a name that seems familiar and claim innocence on infringement of name.. Not only name recognition can result in that but this will open doors for mocking and ridicule for those that have the previous version.. The fast rate of development will be like in the electronics market; buy today and tomorrow a new better version will be released. You can get ridiculed before you even get it off the fed ex truck...

I am trying to look into flights. I was hoping to use a Frequent Flyer tix.. Is the best bet to fly into Orlando or is there a better airport to fly to in Flordia? Maybe Tampa? Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Sounds like it will be a busy weekend. I am thinking about heading down but cant say 100% yeah right now. Either way it sounds like it will be a helluva party... Other then Ed P. and Kris S. who are the wingsuiters I know going for the 200 way, who on the West coast is thining about going.... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

That is one messed up sight. Out of curiosity, I searched for "Skydive" and to my suprise only found 2 names. One had a casual mention of "claims to do" followed by a list of other things. The other was more directly pointed at someone (nickname of "Skydive Steve") that may be a skydiver, or not who the hell knows.. He is in the Scottsdale, Chandler, Phoenix area. If he is an actual jumper and you know him, might want to tell him unless it is a somewhat factual calim. I did not note a link but you can do a search and find the page pretty easy.. http://dontdatehimgirl.com/search/advanced.asp This site pretty accuratly could be called a "slam that bastard" site but also looked at as a way to vent... Who knows... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

PP was bad in 2 spots I noted while watching the new Bond film. The ford car was one. The other was Richard Branson going through security at the airport. Say him for only a few seconds as he turned to face the camera with his arms up. Not a long look but enough to recognize the face then the next shot (maybe 2 out from there) showed a Virgin 747 landing.. If I think back or see it again I am guessing many more can be picked out. I dont mind them if they are subtile but if they are forced into the film or in the case of the Ford shot seem out of place then I say poo poo on them... Scott C.

Now I have to say, this brought a huge amount to the discussion Now separate for KA's comment, I had a spinning mal and the cap was still attached when I finally got it all back.. Took a few days as it was cut over woods.. Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Have You Ever Fudged YOUR Jump Numbers?
sdctlc replied to katiebear21's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Kinda silly to do it. If you claim to have a certian number and then jump poorly, yu might be able to get away with it for a few days as saying yor having a bad day but after some time the lack of skills will just show up... Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!" -
I thought the Bourne Books were an easy read. I agree that the movies were good but MD was not the best choice for a lead. I still liked them. As a side about books and movies I heard yesterday they are going to make Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" into a move.. Set before the Davinci Code so i guess it will be a PreQuel Scott C.

that food coloring and waterbottle is a great idea Valinda! I might have to do that with Skyler today. As of right now North Kitsap is only 2 hours delayed but I am not sure the solid sheet of Ice n the roads will melt enough for Busses. She was off yesterday though. Scott C. Forgot to add that if the kids snow color something cool take a picture! "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

J. My daughter is happy as we had school canceled today (North Kitsap)! What you got is not much snow but if the kids (i.e. you) are happy then yeah for you!! Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

I joined it awhile back and have never really checked it. http://www.myspace.com/skydiverscott I go there now and then to make sure that I still have my one and only friend "TOM" who works for myspacee. He seems like a great guy as is says he is willing to help me out on my page, I never have taken him up on the offer, oh well. I guess I should, Like you, delve into the page a bit more... I cant say I ahve done nothing as I do have a few picture on there. Never been able to figure out the Friends thingas I dont really know what you get by adding or being added to a page other then a link.. I am there but have no idea how to work it WAIT!! I did get a number of messages from "local girls" that want to meet me, it must be the massive amount of work I have put into my page Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

-:4:Lots of $ Shockingly I was able to get 4 in in the NW yesterday, 2 Wingsuit Jumps and 2 Tandems. None today as it is snowing which is another shocking thing for the Seattle area. People I am sure are loosing their minds.. Also did some shopping. A few of the more spendy items included a new eliptical trainer, new Ceramic Top oven/range and a new (ground based) family digital camera. I spent more and put a hurt on my bank ccount but those 3 are just were the bigger ticket items.. Buy for Christmas and use it now I say! No reason to wait, Right????? Scott C.

1. Talk about a huge breast! 2. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist. 3. It's Cool Whip time! 4. If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst! 5. Whew, that's one terrific spread! 6. I'm in the mood for a little dark meat. 7. Are you ready for seconds yet? 8. It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it? 9. Just wait your turn, you'll get some! 10. Don't play with your meat. 11. Just spread the legs open and stuff it in. 12. Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once? 13. I didn't expect everyone to come at once! 14. You still have a little bit on your chin. 15. How long will it take after you stick it in? 16. You'll know it's ready when it pops up. 17. Wow, I didn't think I could handle all of that! 18. That's the biggest one I've ever seen! 19. How long do I beat it before it's ready?

A few years ago I did 3 DZ's in a day. Grabbed a plane in the morning and flew to 3 different DZ's and made at least one jump at each. Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Saw it yesterday and thought it was VERY GOOD!! Lots of action and really gave a line of development for the later Bond charachter traits that is expected later. Rough, unapolegetic and arragont then lots of shit happen and start a change. They dont talk too much about it and klet it happen on screen. They did a great job with the movie and hopefully have revived a series that really needed a good kick! Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

No matter how you cut it the TM had his hands full. That pax was sticking arms and legs all over the place trying to look at the camera. When they do that with or with out camera it can be a handfull for the TM, I know this from experience as do I would imagine almost all of the TM's doing tandems. Show me one that says they have not I will show you one that will have a handfull passenger at some point. Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

Last night was a much better product then had previously been aired. I had gotten pretty bored with it but it was on after Heros and I was only going to watch a few minutes and ended up watching the entire show. If it keeps going like that I think it should stay but it did stumble out of the blocks... We will see if it can recover... Scott "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

The problem with that is that the college presidents that are now finding themselves left out of bowls and the bowl money will not let it happen. The closest thing they can realistically come up with is going to be a Plus 1 system. BCS top four play and the winners play in the Plus 1 Championship game. Lower ranked colleges get their bowl and bowl money and there is kinda a playoff system. If your not in the top four shut the fu*k Up the big controversies on rankings generally dont extend past the top four with much merit. The Plus 1 is a win win. More $ More TV $ More College Football Action. That system makes way too much sense.. Scott C. "He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"
