I'm thinking it might have something to do with the design of the plughole.... Did I win? A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

My first sit went like that... I was pretty dizzy... I could hold a stable sit with no corking (and very little sliding) after only a few jumps.. . of course I had a pretty good coach.... IMO its eaiser to learn if you jump with some one so you have a refence... but most importantly just relax have fun.. A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

Okay I think this will work... Ask "If I asked the other sister where this door lead (pointing to the door that the one your talking to is standing in front of) Where would she say it lead?" however that door is identified then its the opposite... I.E. Heaven=Hell and visa versa. Anyway it made sence in my mind so take it for what its worth... A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

Surreal depth perception
BeattheDrums replied to WhirledWeb's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
My "magic" moment happend last month when we actually had clouds. The top pf the clouds was about 4,500 and the bottoms being about 4,00. I did a three way with a some friends and we broke it at 5,500 to make sure we wouldnt lose each other in the clouds. As I'm tracking away i find my self right over one of the clouds. Then I see it... If I veer a little to the left there is a hole in the center of the cloud. I adjust course and ended up falling right trough the hole. It was amazing!

I just saw it... Still rolling around laughing... He should have replaced the beer with a Shiner Bock though... A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

Yeah I was thinking about that one... A friend suggested getting a Gun rack and then leaving an empty holster on the seat... I figure that mixed with the Texas plates would keep people away...worth a shot at least A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

Thats right since moving into this apartment complex in april my truck has been broken into for the second time... this time luckily the damages are worth less than two hundred since they used a slimjim or coat hanger instead of breaking the window (that was nice of them)... I think I should move... anyone in San Diego have an extra room? A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

Not meaning to be so much cynical as just trying to figure out exactly why this was so special. Only going 2800ft in 4 minutes is just that. Thanks for the additional info. A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

Launching from a plane, speeds of 112mph, four minutes of flight time, and landing by parachute... Can't a wingsuit give you the same thing? However if he were to take off and land it that would be pretty neat.

From one of my co workers when our boss asked him if he had a drinking problem "Hell yeah I have a drinking problem, The bars close at 2 but I usually run out of money well before that!" A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

Thanks for the info... the Truck is a 02 Dodge Ram. I didnt see how it was checked but the mechanic said it didnt appear to have any leaks, but then wanted me to pay for the thinkg to test for leaks. hmmm... I was wondering if since it works great at high RPM if maybe there was just a belt loose somewhere that is slipping at the lower speeds. Possibile? Seeing as I know not much about cars (further than changing the oil and things of that nature) Its just a guess. I really need/want to learn all about the inner workings of a car Im just too damn lazy to do it.

I like that Idea just sometimes the people in front of me wont move out of the way. A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

hi to all that enjoy working on cars. I have a problem with mine and what im getting told at the shop dosnt really sond "on point" Heres the story my AC works great as long as Im going over 1500 RPM. if i drop below that it just starts blowing warm air. Very annoying when sitting in traffic. Anyway what i just got told is that I may just need more freeon. They said I dont appear to have a leak but would have to add the freeon with dye in it to ensure i dont have a leak. This would not be covered under the warrenty because its maintaince. However I would think that if there is a leak it should be covered due to the AC being between the two bumpers... Anyway the explination of why the ac only works abover 1500 RPm was that My engine had to work the compressor harder. It was alwyas my understanding that no Freeon would mean No AC EVER. Well just basically asking some others opinions... Thanks in advance A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

What i meant by rigged up was make it a bit more reusable... I know that the plane comes with all the gear already but I was thinking about removing sed gear and just having the chair give you enough of a lift to clear the tail... have the rear canopy already removed so it wouldnt be a issue... Although I'm starting to really like wingnut's idea about playing bomb... A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

I thought that was only the supersonic ejections... I was thinking more about a subsonic launch... Of course I guess it would still suck going trough the jet wash... A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

So I had a random thought eariler... Since the Navy is getting rid of its F14 Tomcats I was thinking it would be kinda cool if one could be rigged up so that a jumper could be "ejected" from the aircraft. Of course there would be a limit of only one jumper per load wich would kind of suck... So despite the solo only factor and the fact that I'm sure it would be damn near impossible to do... Who would want to do it and how much would that kind of ride go for? I would be willing to pay like a few hundred... I mean that would be one HELL of a ride... I would also like to thank everyone for waseting their time by reading this A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

Yeah he found glasses after I hauled him down to LensCrafter... Fun Dive, I was thinking "We didnt talk about that hand signal before hand..." A thunder of jets in a clear blue sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful "Hi"

Hey all, I've be FF for the past 50 or so jumps. Got a solid Sit and my stand is stable... For jump number 100 I wanted to try something diffrent so I got talked into doing a hybrid Jump. I was to be one of the hangers in a 2x2 formation. Although it didnt go exactly to plan it was friggin awesome. By far some of the most fun I've had in the air. But what I want to know is why it seemed to be more difficult to hold a stand while hanging... I guess it might be that i wasnt as relaxed cause i didnt want to cork out and hit one of the belly flyers. Well if that was it or not, It was Fun.
