  1. In addition to what chuckbrown said, imagine the negative PR and wide-spread ramifications if the recent tandem incident (or any tandem incident) had been an 8, 10, 12... year-old. Then, we can discuss the criminal charges to the parents, the DZO, staff, etc. What's it worth? $30.00, $75.00 to take that kind of chance? Just say, "No." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. A lot of folks can't understand how we came to have an oil shortage here in our country. Well, there's a very simple answer. Nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know we were getting low. The reason for that is purely geographical. Our OIL is located in Alaska, California, Coastal Florida, Coastal Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Our DIPSTICKS are located in Washington DC.

  3. Anytime I get a new canopy, the first thirty or so pack jobs are psycho-packs. Then, I revert back to propacking. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    I've seen a lot of people that drive as though their awareness is about 6 feet in front of them and only to the front. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  8. Thank you, Chris. It does. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  9. Ever wonder what would happen if there were no "ists" or "isms?" Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  10. There's no option for making my son do push-ups. Lots and lots of push-ups. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  12. Anyone know who provided the tents at WFFC? Tried sending Mike & Beth an email, but it bounced back. Can't PM WFFC. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  13. 6. Green light does not mean go. It means you have permission to exit the aircraft, but it is your responsibility to check the spot and ensure clear airspace under and around the aircraft. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  14. Do something different. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  15. Wow - an antique!! Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  16. I'll be pulling in sometime Saturday afternoon and hooking up with Brentster at Tent 2... Let the games BEGIN!! Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. I can help with that... Just come to Oklahoma in May. While you're looking at it, you'll want to occasionally glance over at me. If I'm not there, you shouldn't be either. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  18. Yup. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  19. Just before they stab you, you should ask, "Am I your first?" If they say, "Yes," then tell them they owe you a case of beer, If they say, "No." you've got a serial killer on your hands. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  20. Is that Camp Williams?!?!?! I did some UW training there in '82 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  21. 1) Talking with Larry will be good. He's a fellow Anvil Brother. 2) What Chuck and Egons said. 3) My personal suggestion for a ZP main would be the Sabre or Safire in the 230 range and focus on Billvon's downsizing checklist while at higher altitudes under canopy. For a hybrid or F-111 would recommend 260 or larger. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  23. 1. Someone from another group opening near you. >500' 2. Someone flying their canopy by you (with known visual contact between both of you). If you're within reach of my hookknife, you're too close and its not going to go well for you. 3. Someone landing right after you (fast swoop). If I'm in the swoop area, I am in the wrong. If they are in the regular landing area - see response to number 2 4. Someone landing right after you (low wing loading or accuracy canopy). As soon as I land, I look out for them and am cool with 20'. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  24. Let's use the KISS principle on this. You're going from board and paper to an Access DB. It's a first step and a good one. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  25. TK, Save yourself the "pay a lot" and there is no need to have the "whereabouts" to learn Access. If you know the basics of excel, then migrating over to access isn't difficult. My suggestion would be to find some young stallion(ette) who knows Access and trade off some jumps for the database. Access comes with some pre-designed templates that could be modified to fit your needs in a couple of days including reporting. Over the period of a couple of weks, you could find yourself with a master form for both data entry and reporting and the ability to manuever around in the environment quite easily.
