    smartass Although I did start out a operations & logistics seminar in Savannah, GA. with, "Allow me to introduce myself; Yes, I am the illegitimate child of Jesse Ventura and Vin Diesel." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    I have an advantage with the whole Vin Diesel look. While my skull may be larger than yours, the whole thick hair thing puts you at a disadvantage... Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Oh c'mon... Sky Systems makes it in an XL.5 and my head is an even 23.5" Its the best fitting and quietest helmet I've ever owned. You know the one, Jim. the custom blue marbled bowling ball looking one. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Probably tried 75% of the helmets on the market and would suggest taking this for a test spin... http://www.parachuteshop.com/oxygn_a3_helmet.htm Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    You've got a nice setup. Sell everything except the rig & suit. Then re-visit the matter in a year. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    You're exaggerating. Forums: Search Results Your search for guns in posts made by johnrich returned 1491 results in 0.141s. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    I would take the Harley out for a night ride and find a couple of Semi's running side by side and "shoot the gap." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Whereas, I think it should be limited to only skydiving no matter where. "There's no crying in baseball" Why is there so much in skydiving? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    All good points. Quite frankly, I'm going to do my best to keep it at a 1:1 ratio. In some cases, it's a qualitative decision based on canopy flying characteristics (of which the only one on the list I have not jumped is the man-o-war). And, in all cases, the reserve is going to be closest to a 1:1 as it can be. Our region does a lot of Anvils and we have multiple rigs with the Falcon 300, PD 300 and 281r. As to density, our DZ is 680' and that too should enter into the qualitative decision. Would I take a 260#'er on any type of methodology at 5k MSL... No. Not even S/L or IAD. Not without an MC-4 or modified tandem. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    One could argue that the British flag is appropriate to remind us as to why we are celebrating our Declaration of Independence and as a pledge to support our troops currently doing the same for others. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Most of these are not appropriate for an AFF student with an exit weight of 300pds. And I think you would have a hard time finding the exact combination of gear that is left. Appropriate is an opinion. It's easy to do a , but you don't explain why you struck them. This is really getting old. If you guys have a limit or level of comfort that prohibits you from taking an Anvil, then you are entitled to draw lines where needed. I have my own - e.g. anyone under 18 no matter what methodology needs to go elsewhere. But, please don't just keep throwing rocks at the symphony of opportunities to take some at 260# out the door and flame that its not within the TSO, when it is. Move on. Over and out.

    Sorry, I left a few off the list... 1. MC-4 military rig [Devil] Rigs: Vector (v382ish) Javelin The "Odyssey" was tested under the FAA TSO category C 23 (d), meaning that it was dropped tested to weights in excess of 300 lbs Infinity The Talon FX is being re-certified to the latest TSO C23d standards. It will be rated to 150 kts and 325 lbs. The Telesis 3.0 adjustable articulated harness configuration has been certified under TSO C23d and is rated at 325 lbs max weight and 150 knots Can't find the TSO for Wings, Racer or Icon... Mains: PD Sabre2 260 PD 300 Falcon 300 ZP Manta 320 F111 Manta 290 Man-O-War 320 Rage 230 Icarus 229 PD Navigator 300 Pulsa 260 Pilot 210 Reserves: PD 281 Smart 250 Optimum 253 Falcon 300 rMax 268 rMax 288 Feel free to do your homework here As to DZ altitude density - no argument.

    Well, considerable previous experience with Sunrise would suggest they should be last on the "pissed off at" list. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Meh... drop it down to 12 gals of fuel and you can get four on there to 10K. You don't need fuel to land , do ya? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Oh bullshit. That's taking things to the extreme. There's a difference between "complimentary" and "insulting with sexual innuendo." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Nope. Do the non-Anvils pay half as much? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Correction: I was multitasking. The correct weight was 38# for a 298# total. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Simply put; I have instructed a significant number of Anvils from 200-260# - and have not busted a TSO. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
