  1. My Instructor had me do full power-on stalls. Slow flight at 4K, push forward for take off, high angle, left rudder. OMG!! one of the hardest things I had to master in flying. I would suck cloth seat up my ass while recovering. And, even though it wasn't part of the training, had me do spins.. Those weren't too bad. After the instrument test... thought I'd take some aerobatics... you know how much THAT costs?!?!? Do I look like a doctor?

    Whatever you do, don't google it, else you might find: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus But, that still means he has parts of Europe and Asia twice. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. Scene in a bar with an Aussie girl... Ifearheights: Hi, I'm am traveling and I did a bunch of crazy things. Skydive, cage dive with a white shark, swim with a whale and do a bungee jump. Wanna go to my room? Aussie Girl: I got 5,454 skydives, been diving with sharks since I was three without a cage, been swimming with the whales since I was 12 off my daddy's boat, who owns the largest bungee concession down under. Wanna clip my toenails? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  10. Admittedly, when I first started reviewing the pics thought someone had some mad Adobe skillz. About halfway down, you see little details that one would have to have an awesome dimensional aspect with each shadow and light reflection. Question Mark. As you read the text at the bottom... All I can say is the concept and execution were no less than spectacular. Hats off to those who participated and kudos to the manufacturers for helping.

  11. You've received some good suggestions.. good luck. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  12. Suggest you focus on the training through Cat A and learn the gear choices as you go. And you really shouldn't even be talking cameras for awhile. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  13. Now that makes sense to me. Disclaimer: It's not mine and I know not the original author. It's been quoted a myriad of times by so many different people. If nothing else it makes one ponder. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  14. Mindlessly flawed logic. Explain. How is the logic "flawed." Please use actual logic in your answer. 0 + 0 != 0 ? Nobody plus nothing equals everything? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  15. Hi Cathy, I jumped there when you first opened (blue & white tie-dye rig you packed for years and was on your "first" skydiver load as a commercial pilot). I'm very sorry to hear of this and hope you can enlist the USPA's help on the matter. Having said that, you tell us what's going on in great detail, but at the end, you don't share with us how you would like us to help?

  16. I don't do facebook.. But, if someone would FB him for me please tell him, "BIGUN says if anyone can beat this; that old cantankerous fuck can." We know each other well, and that's what I call him - "Old Cantankerous Fuck." He calls me something else :) Thanks in advance.

  17. If you remember more about the article, send on of the moderators that detail and they may be able to help. Skybitch was one of the original article writers and may be able to help also. Hard to believe this site's been up for 11 years now. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  19. Thank you for the story, John. I really have no say in the matter, but lean towards option 1. I do think the skydivers now would appreciate knowing that some never forget. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  20. We have the same affliction. I just got a shot in one of my knees at the VA last week. Faced with my desire to keep jumping... Am looking at upsizing both main and reserve. Good luck to you, Bill... no matter what your decision. Keep us posted, please. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  21. You were more succinct than I. That was the message. Thank you. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  22. Everything was done in compliance with AR 670-1 regarding social events and authorization by DoD. As to your comment regarding, "Service personnel should in my opinion be apolitical, you give up your rights to make political choices outside of elections and that's the way it should be in a professional Army/Navy/Air Force." One might observe a myriad of uniforms at political conventions (both sides of the aisle). I voted "no." and my reason for that was the definition of a "Social event." If one were to wear the uniform to a symphony of other "lifestyle" social events, they could find themselves facing an Article 15. Having said that, I remember a time when one couldn't wear BDU's or a cap in the airport, but the beret seems to be allowed now.... There was also a time when a beer was allowed during lunch to the opposite side of being seen with a beer in uniform resulted in an Article 15 (MADD-induced politics). Times are a changing.

  23. In the past, I've stated that I'm opposed to the death penalty (...permanent solution requires a perfect process...). In this case, 1+1=2; Mom is caught there with the children. Mom confesses. They were infants of the mother that was supposed to protect and nurture them. I don't understand and quite frankly; don't really want to understand because then I would have to question my own sanity. Put her ass in a microwave (Set to power level 10).

  24. Thank you for your service,.... and damn you are old. Umm... you do know you're getting up there too, right? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
