I voted Yes and Other. Like the others, if its a second or third tandem in a reasonably short period of time, I'll ask them how creative they want to get (backflips) and take it to terminal. Other - because if they have video on the dive... Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

If you'd really like to talk about them good-'ol days http://www.digidome.nl/ibmhall.htm Built my first 8088 in 1988 (only way I remember is 88's). It had a whopping 20 meg hard drive and I was the shits. Folks would ask me, "What are you going to do with all that hard drive space?" And, I would reply, "Anything I want." Had it and used it until 1992 when I went to grad school and to save money; again built my own machine. It was a 386SX25 saved almost three hundred bucks building it myself and it still cost almost $2500.00. A month after grad school started, the 486 came out and I was so torqued. You kids these days don't know how easy you have it. emachines, Dells for $499.00 bundles, VPN, wireless networks, XP, Linux software. Back in my day, we had to slog through three feet of snow to the server that paged us or go into the office on weekends because some VP decided to work and lost the path statement to the printer. Yeah, you kids got it easy these days. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

After reading the thread, would it be safe to say, "The Vigil was programmed in student mode and the activation altitude had been adjusted + 450 feet by DZ staff to offset for the higher landing DZ elevation. The Vigil fired at the requisite 1040 ft (AGL) /45 MPH as intended by the manufacturer?" Secondly, I would like to know the status of the Vigil. There have been so many, use, don't use, partial recall, total recalls running around that I don't know what the status is. Cool website - easy to navigate.

Sorry, but there are always going to be friggin snivelrs. When you put on the pickle suit you take an oath. You know that prior to putting up your hand and taking that oath. It's an all-volunteer army. It's been that way since about 1973. If you cannot do the job, then don't raise your hand. You don't have to agree, disagree or even undertstand. There are so many men and women doing an outstanding job over there. Reading the snivels of a few who would place more energy with their fingers to keyboard to write Mr. Moore are probably ones I wouldn't have wanted to serve with anyway.

I watched the program. Sure, there was the initial "How cheesey" and so he's going to solo with a Strong Tandem? Me thinks not and especially with the chest strap undone. But, I'm with Sid. It aired last night, that bell can't be unrung, you might as well pass it on to the whuffos who approach you about it as.... it was just television.

You may already be at the DZ, but I have a suggestion. Why not ask your instructors if you can do a "Level X" dive. Basically, no flips, turns, or tricks. Just get out cleanly, do a PRCP and enjoy the freedom until pull time. There's nothing that says the AFF program is an off-the-shelf program for everyone. It's a guideline of what can be done, not what has to be done. You "can" get your "A" license in 25 dives, but there's ntohing that says you can't get it at 30, 40 or 50 jumps. What's important is to take your time, enjoy the air, relax and have fun with it. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

You "may" get some flak about this (and I may also), but at 267, your major criteria is your reserve. TallGuy entered the sport at 6'9" and 265. His gear shop recommended a Mirage Container, PD 253 and Sabre (or Safire) 230 once he finished student status. You could get by with any of the following suggestions, depending on your S&TA and DZO's approval (or experience with Anvils) (no order of preference implied). H/C Wings Mirage Vector Javelin Dolphin MAIN Falcon 300 in F111 PD Navigator 280 Sabre 230 (here's where I get beat on) Safire 230 (ouch again) RESERVES PD 253 Precison Aerodynamics - RavenMax (r-max) 248 Don't let your weight concern you.
