Don't think so. I heard on the grapevine that Roger & Jack are just sticking to the Farm from now on... -
Send her to me. I'll take proper care of her.

Is she cute?

Nice photos! Can't wait for the incriminating ones .
-
Hell yeah . BTW, did the upstanding member reference pass everyone by? Or was it just not as funny as I thought?
-
You're just jealous you didn't think of it first.

Does taking babes to the toystore make you an upstanding member of society?

Read and weep .

If you've managed to download the file, but can't see the video, you need the XviD codec. Instructions.

850 horses at the shaft. Reference.

For reference: inspecting a kill-line pilot chute.

Fruit and veg are now quoted in both metric and imperial units. The law was changed three to four years ago to make this the case. At least one grocer was prosecuted because he didn't want to label in metric. Speedometers on cars are calibrated in miles per hour, and speed limits are also in imperial units. People say I'm 6'3" rather than I'm 191cm, and a person's weight is similarly quoted in stones & pounds rather than kilograms. Most English people still think in imperial, even if labelling is now in metric. And no, I'm not English, but I did live there from 1999 to 2003.

Apparently, back in the 70's lots of surfer dudes in Australia owned station wagons with a mattress in the back where they slept. Standard bumper sticker: "Don't laugh, your daughter could be in here."

Twin Otter & Skyvan, both with floor seating.
-
There's a Photography & Video forum thataway --> To answer your question: Adobe Premiere is the most popular. I use Sony Vegas. Both are good and will do the job.

It's the windy time of year guys - Sept & Oct can be very frustrating when you're a student. It's only going to get better though... get there early for the best chance at getting a couple of jumps in. It's usually still first thing in the morning...

My mistake; I should have said that they cannot be released under load. Car seat-belts can be released when loaded. The clasps on the lap belts that the Perris Otters have can be released under load. Single-point restraints using B-12-style connectors can't.
-
The problem: given our planes have on-floor seating, we have single-point restraints. Kinda like oversize B-12 snaps, and so they don't release under load. I've been told that harnesses with connectors that'll release under load are not CASA (~= FAA) approved, so they can't be fitted to the aircraft. Catch-22. Alive and upside-down in a burning aircraft isn't fun.

That's actually not a bad idea

An explanation of why this occurred: A lot of people come onto these forums, looking for justification for the silly decision they want to make. When experienced jumpers tell them they're making a serious & potentially fatal mistake, they don't listen. Because they've seen this before, time and time again, the experienced jumpers then get angry and sarcastic. I'm no angel; I've been one of those people, though without the experience to help. If someone just read the first post or two of this thread they might think you were one of these posters that doesn't listen. Unfortunately, that's a price you have to pay sometimes when you visit these forums. As to your question: I've never jumped a Springo, and I've only got one jump on a Cobalt 170. The only advice I can give you is to take whatever useful information you can out of this thread and ignore the rest. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and be safe.

Two . Neither of which are in particularly good condition, so I've gotta sort that out.

Congratulations! Where's the photo of everyone fallling around drunk at the reception? Or does that only happen at Irish weddings?

The formula is humps* : jumps : beer owed * or other significant number. But it'd better be damn important to rate higher than the number of shags you got. After all, we're a voyeuristic lot here in the Bonfire. As for me: :0:0 Duck eggs all round. A quiet weekend of sleeping, reading, and botched creeper maintenance.

Definitely.
