Our Overt involvement ended. Our Covert involvement, which is 20 + years old, will continue. The ceremonies that took place are part of the SOFA contract from 2008, actually a few months late i think. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I called him out on the scam and mentioned here and craigslist. E-mails stopped. Bummer, I was hoping I had sold the two canopies. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

He is still e-mailing, I am keeping the e-mails and will e-mail them to dz.com and paypal. He is saying the additional funds are for his "purchasing agent". The amount is not high but I can see how they would add up to a good amount of cash even if only two a day paid off. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

He did a pretty good job, up till e-mail #3 when he said he would add funds for the "shipping agent" and would i please pay the agent. But still, how would having the paypal info be a benefit? We the account holders have to authorize a payment from us to some one. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

You're a "glass half empty" kind of guy huh? I agree our Politicians have done nothing to little to move the country forward, but think the country is finally capitalizing on its new found voice, the one it tested in the 60's. I think we are near the low point, then we will rebuild and move upwards. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

There was, it was actually pretty funny to see all the things she was bitching about, and see "Matt Cline likes this" I figured when she sent me a note saying; "Thanks for Joining the Team". I would unload, in a proper polite manner of course. Instead she deleted the page. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Do MARD Components require TSO Certification?

OK, I "see" what your describing now. I misunderstood and thought the jumper was on his back and looking above him relative to his body (horizontally in this case) not above him in relation to the earth. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! -
The comments under the news story start to show the agenda. This is like the yahoos near SFO who started to complain about the heavies every ten minutes, flying over their property in Foster City. The Airport was operating in the 50's (?), Foster City was a wet marsh till the 70's, then filled in and built over a period of ten years, the yahoos moved in around the late 80's. They wanted SFO to change the flight patterns or close down. Right. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

"Mile-Hi has been doing jumps at the airport since 1995. But it's only recently that complaints about its noise have taken off. In 2010, the airport got 488 calls complaining about the skydiving (332 of them from three people, according to records). This year, Barth said, calls are on track to surpass 400 again." Wow! Three people, one (pictured) moved in after the DZ opened and is only using the DZ so she can stop the runway extension! Why does the City even listen to this nonsense?

"Ever see a jumper on his back with a mal over his head, he is looking up at it, not releasing he is on his back. That’s a zero drag mal." Can you explain how that is zero drag? Wouldn't drag be one of the reasons he is on his back during the mal? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! -

No pics of the sleeves in action. And I gave them away a few years ago. Mine was a "do it my selfer". The Forearm measurement was 13.75" at its largest, round up to 14", add 75% ish to make a 24" piece (not tapered) for the tube, sewn with the heavy spandex Mike uses for his Tetris Suits. They worked well, but I am sure there are variables to the size. The elbow end had the 2" cuff (wished it was wider some times when I wore a layer of warmth under the jump) suit, and a 3" cuff at the wrist, it was a good way for the wrist mount to have less bulk under. Matt Thanks for the details... How wide were they? I got the length part down, but what about the width (in between the cuffs)? I measured from the inside bend of my elbow to the inside of my wrist. When I made the seam with the cuffs it shortened up a bit, but that was fine as the cuffs and sleeve all started long. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Not likely. A two man team operates these UAVs: The Pilot keeps the bird flying, whereas the Sensor Operator takes care of the surveillance. It happens, but not too often as the few incidents have been confined to the various Mil bases. They are still "flown" by people and people get tired and or lazy.

This does appear to be more of a LEO owned asset with a military design, as opposed to a Military Owned asset loaned to the LEO. Much like an M-4 or M-24 weapon or a MM-6 Helo. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I was told that tax cuts DON'T create jobs

You put apples in the orange basket. My comment was we (the US) have no money. You answer was the US can Print and Borrow. Doesn't that mean, there is no, money? The US has no on hand cash, is in debt up to its eyeballs and it's only staying afloat because of assets it has not sold off to other countries, yet. Essentially, one step away from bankruptcy.

Exactly, or with a 100% cotton, not a blend for a little slower rate of fall. For the sleeves I had, we used the exact measurements for the elbow and wrist ends, just like the suit, but had 75% added to the circumference of the body (tube part) to get the desired amount of material. But I am sure that number can vary. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Understand that if the U.S wants to have a thriving economy, then it has to take the right procedures in order to correct it. This isin't a long-term structural problem. It is essentially a zero-bound liquidity trap that can be solved through spending. There are too many misconceptions such as: "You can't print money to solve the debt problem!". People take this at face value rather than judging the situations. A lot of us (the smart and intelligent ones too) have been wrongly taught and we are collectively suffering the consequences. Whether it is from the extreme left with Occupy Wall Street to the other extreme Tea Party (and most of us in the middle), they don't understand what is happening with the Economy at the moment. But like I said, what Europe is doing now is far worse than what the U.S has done so far. Then you describe how NOT to do that. Did you forget the US GOV has no money? And that reality is the efforts of "Spending" has not worked? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
