  1. Please wish him my best and to recovery fully, he need not worry about us! We will still be arguing the same points when he gets back! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  2. She said it last week too. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  3. So then, we are even, because I am not a liar and you are not a crew member. What you know is not the same as what I know, but you don't ask me, you tell me, I lie. Why? That is against forum rules, Matt. You are making a false assumption based on a lack of knowledge, hence the retarded picture, which, I admit was also over the top. Consider cause and effect. I am normally considerate, but react too quickly to unsupported confrontational attacks. Try being what you suggest yourself. Let's all be pleasant. 377 is a shining example for us all, most of the time.... We can disagree without your attacks. Really? Out of all that, you avoid the actual issue and want to feel sad you are not trusted and believed? I rarely see you considerate of others, you're usually harsh and mean spirited, maybe this is too close to that for you and your feelings got hurt? You point out a rule infraction to me? Yet your on record of numerous? (By the way, the saying you cherry picked, never called YOU a liar, you put that shoe on) I, and many others, have asked you numerous times to PROVE your story, you won't, I believe it is because you can't. I have yet to see any "proof" your word is not "proof" it is hear say (just like my word in this case would be "hear say", as I too, was not there), or as some have stated a made up story. But, that aside: I have done some checking on your story. So far none of it adds up. So far each person who could answer the question has said : No, not a statement of fact, or that it is a bold face lie. A few even knew why I was asking and named you with out a hint of prompting. One even said the slander had better stop or I would be in court, till I read your post to them. So, before I get accused of being a Bob Knoss "lacky" again (ironic, huh?), please post actual "proof" or "evidence" as that would meet the Standards of the Courts, even circumstantial. Please remember "Hear say" has already been rules out. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  4. It has been done several times with the company linked in this thread I think. Plus a few others have done it, a Golden Knight set a high alt/flight duration wing suit record a year or two ago and then there was a string of follow on jumps.

  5. Actually, I'm a pretty ordinary Northwest guy. Vet US Army. Hike and camp a lot. During the day I help run a housecleaning business, mostly for upscale customers. Nights and weekends I edit books here and there. Some for AB of Seattle, some for other authors. That's pretty much it. And I enjoy putting nice books into the hands of kids who can't afford them, especially at Christmas. Well, he has said I am part of the notional cover up crew as well, but retarded beyond measure (numerous times). Kind of wonder who does the hiring in this cover up crew? What kind of standard do they use? And who is doing payroll? my checks seem to be getting misdirected! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  6. Well, "low opening" never meant 1000'. But if I understand your reply he made up an acronym, and used it to ask his question? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  7. Your grammar is rotten.Looks right to me. It is not ME!! No CIA involvement that I am aware of. Mac wasn't assigned to the CIA until much later. He was assigned to Special Services in 1968Did they even still exist then? Proof please. Primarily FAA and pilots in control of Project Norjak Denied and debunked by the Pilots Association and the Gov., but the supervisor in charge was the one who staged McCoy's death. I'm not guessing when I tell you something I believe that, you're not guessing. I also believe based on the LACK of evidence supporting you, and the evidence countering you, your making the whole thing up.. It IS what really happened. My refusal to name names is consistent with FBI policy Not true, from the local Field Office "If we had names in a case that we could prove, for this old of a case, you bet it would be in the press!". I am not a prosecutor and am not presenting 'evidence' True, no evidence at all., I'm a whistle-blower leaking the information from the Project Except there was no "project".. You are a low-level front man for Cap's Crew trying to counter these released facts with anything you can think up. Just my humble opinion, based on real 'evidence', not some 'make-a-wish' wannabe's request in a will. I KNOW what I say is correct. I KNOW what you wrote is bunk. I KNOW many of the retired FBI KNOW and the young guys suspect what I present. Obviously, the suspects KNOW more than I do. It would be silly to expect any admissions, so, no names. Just the truth Or your version of such?. You want to prosecute? You do the work. You want to publish? You do the work. You want the truth? Listen to what I say. it is entertaining, if not annoying You need to put out some actual PHYSICAL proof, no more made up stretches and groundless conspiracies. You have even slandered some people and they may not have families so willing to ignore your remarks, and in this day and age, they would win. You come in and insult people all the time because your story of so unbelievable and mostly debunked. How you get away with your behavior is new to me. This thread is entertaining to watch. Evidence made up to fit theories and stories. The actual evidence explained nine different ways. Currently the evidence only shows a man calling himself "Dan Cooper" passed a hijack note demanding $200,000 and parachutes. The bag was delivered, the aft stair case lowered. the Man has not been seen since and only a small portion of the money was found. There are a few other details, but essentially they are just rabbits, you know leading one in a circle. It is good to say;"But what if?" or question; "Why?" but not to lie.

  9. Come on Colonel! This is fun reading and, well, fun all around. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  10. Well, if he was flying a well used MC-4 he got from a DRMO type source, he was flying some thing with the same porosity as a set of od green sheer nylons at that point. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  11. The only thing that 'sounds familiar' is that you are posting up allegations without any evidence, as usual. Names of the witnesses? Proof please? There is none, in ref to BK's post. In your post you state "extensive" in ref to his Paratrooper Training. This doesn't jive as a Paratrooper would be well versed in Static Line operations (barring Sport parachute training), now if the NB was worn by the JM/Safeties and he was so trained, he would have pulled once clear of the A/C, as per SOP. By dismissing the Sport Rig as the one of choice, IMO, we can rule out any one who was a current Sport Jumper and any one trained in SOF/CIA ops. So, "Cooper" could have been a Navy Life Support Tech, Marine With Parachute training, Army Paratrooper, or Air Force Life Support Tech, PJ or E-TAC.

  12. Then he is guilty of dereliction of duty, not treason or aiding the enemy. The soldier that murdered 24 civilians just got off with dereliction of duty, no jail time and did not even get a dishonorable discharge. Both will be tried in the system they agreed to follow by contract. Both will be punished in the same system. For the sake of clarity, Congress gave the POTUS the authority in Sept 2001 to do as he needed. AQ Declared War on the US and all it western allies. Germany, France and numerous other Countries (86?) said it was a paraphrased "a war declared on the US and Western Society". IMO, that seems sufficient. Again, he is being tried in a military court for military infractions. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. It wont open on the mobile device, but the title in the link looks bad for the knuckle head who said it. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  14. He gave no information to the enemy, he gave it to Wikileaks. Wikileaks has not been declared an enemy. For that matter, Afghanistan, the Taliban have not been declared enemies either......given that no formal declaration of war was implemented with either Iraq nor Afghanistan, I expect that the definition of 'enemy' is pretty muddled here. But as usual, the right wing is welcome to take away civil and human rights and avoid the Constitution when it suits them. Does the declaration by the POTUS and Congress need to be in writing or on TV? if it never happened, it makes all the flip flop arguments pretty stupid now. But Manning still violated the UCMJ, and was charged as such. 904 -2, "indirectly" You don't have to agree, but he signed a contract to follow those additional rules. He admitted he was acting out not because he was trying to expose any thing, he was troubled by HIS demons (what ever those are). The deep cover intel assets that did or did not get burned will take years in some cases to figure out. The amount of money spent flying around the world kissing ass was a huge waste, but as it is, some countries are now back to hating us since the leak, like they did years before. I agree the GOV should be accountable, I agree the GOV does stupid and bad shit. But in this case I agree with Manning being prosecuted under the UCMJ.

  15. I had to look it up myself. It isn't changed for everyone, from the manufacturers' point of view: The underlined is from the 19 Commandments of Tandem Parachuting, to be clear. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  16. Actually, my question is perfect for this threat,s ince it is not related to politics at all. This thread is about which tool is effective for a specific purpose. In the other threat your co-horts are telling me bats are just as effective as guns. Steve1 is experienced with arms, only fair to ask him the question. I also note you have not answered the question either. The thread is about Concealed Handgun Carry, nothing less. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  17. Actually the Manufacturers decide to help out a little and meet USPA and DZO's "in the middle" and lowered it to 300 jumps (ref 19 Commandments of Tandem Jumping). Wasn't enough for the Madd Skillz folks though, they got the inch but want the mile. IMO, the Manufacturers should have gone the other direction, raised the bar and taken the authority back from USPA, as they have been ineffectual in that area of safety. Matt Agreed! Also, it use to be 500 jumps + 100 camera jumps, as I recall? Has that changed? Total number changed, that was the proposal from the Three US Manufactures, it was posted here some where. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  18. I think you are assuming a lot in your statements. Like I said, I've shot pistols for fifty years, not just talk about them. My daughter grouped to the left also. The same big group. Just because a group is big, and to the left, doesn't automatically mean trigger control....With this pistol the sights are not properly aligned with the barrel. My other daughter has virtually the same pistol, but a different manufacturer. The groups were small and on target at closer to twenty yards. Well, my last sentence did put the caveat out there! Of course I can't (or any one for that matter) say exactly what is happening wit he group all on one side. A firearms Coach working with you and the Family in person would be much better.

  19. Missed "The Wrath of Khan," did ya lad? EDIT: Whoops MY BAD!! I just looked it up to be sure and it wasn't him... Shoot I'm going to lose trekkie trekker status Well to be fair when Kirk said it it was more like: "All...Hands...Aband..on...Ship!...All..." Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  20. Maybe the next one will have the features and better color. My Contour is pretty much for b-roll and small frame video (placed in "windows" of a larger subject). It get mounted on helmets, weapons, bikes, cars people etc. Over all, as a disposable camera, it is pretty good. We have toyed with shooting a whole spot on it, not letting Post know and then letting Post deal with color, compression etc. But I am gonna veto that idea, as we have 100~ spots to do and I would hate for Post to be mad at me in the first 10~!

  21. As in drunk or pissed off? A good coil of copper tubing is needed for a quality moonshine rig. Kind of a two birds, one stone thing. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  22. Is it too early to nominate this for best response of 2012? Not too early to nominate it, but to early to award it! But he will be the holder of three of the five best of's, for sure. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  23. Why not just watch "Ancient Aliens" then? No need to waste the POTUS' time he has other shit to deal with, and I wish he would! Matt Have ya considered starting a petition?
  24. Most SD uses are less than 10 feet. Much further and running to cover becomes the better option. Think about it this way.... What is the longest shot you can take in your house? Wore out is the problem. Right handed shooter? And the grouping has nothing to do with the sights. If the group is left, the trigger finger is not deep enough on the trigger, if right the trigger finger is too deep on the trigger (reversed for Left handed shooters). If the group is big but consistent it is a matter of refining technique. Shooting, like Skydiving, is best not learned on the web in a forum. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  25. If your waist is bigger than your chest the only thing that will have a slimming effect is a diet and exercise program OK, "special effect", like a scifi or conspiracy theory movie. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
