That suits looks about the right size to me.

Navy: Pirates Hijack South Korean Ship
bob.dino replied to warpedskydiver's topic in Speakers Corner
That's exactly backwards. They have political goals, which they use money to help achieve. Any criminal activity for monetary gain is a byproduct and not an aim in itself. -
Indeed.

Sinn Fein Official-Turned Spy Shot Dead

Yup. When the enemy can't retreat because they're already at home, you got a bit of a problem. -
That's why my sentence didn't contain the word "just" .

If you haven't already seen it, John LeBlanc discusses this very issue in Wingloading and Its Effects.

Why should we invest any time in telling you anything then?

Terrorists have a political goal. Pirates have a financial goal. They're not the same. -

There are already threads in Bonfire and Suggestions & Feedback about this.

I never needed to roll the nose on my Spectre & I doubt you do. How many jumps has your canopy got on its current lineset? Are the brakelines too long or too short? Have you gotten coaching for your landing technique?

It's normal. More jumps will make it diminish.

Two - VH-IBS and VH-IBO - though IBO hasn't flown in at least 18 months. Both are owned by Sydney Skydivers and are based at Picton. As far as I know, the plans are to get IBO back in the air, though since Phil got the XL, we use IBS a lot less. I don't know if, under these conditions, it'd be economical to get IBO back in the air. It may just end up cannibalised for spares. After having said all that, it'll probably show up to fly loads next week .

Don't worry. Outside of the Japanese, no-one else plays that silly sport. We won't have noticed.

bob.dino replied to precision's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
How might this have happened? I don't know enough about how you bail out of distressed biplanes. -

pirates != terrorists. I'm getting really fed up with everyone being described as a terrorist these days - it appears to have replaced Communist as a generic term for someone you don't like. -

I have a spare room in Sydney, 100m from the harbour. Picton's got four turbines and a massive swoop-pond . Sounds just like Glasto -

The British ran an army of occupation in Ireland for several hundred years. The sky is blue. Water is wet. I don't think any of these statements will come as news to anybody. What's your point?
