If the pilot allowed it I would have jumped the whole load. In Canada or the US it would not be legal. I would have done it anyway. I fail to see how letting the tandems go in any way was a better example for the 100 jump girl. If it is good enough for the tandems it certainly would have been good enough for her. I strongly suspect your decision was affected by her gender. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Hi Jerry, I agree that prison is prison. But the degree of over crowded bunking and the level of scary people is going to make state prison quite a bit more unpleasant. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Even better is the fact that those convicted in a State Court will have to serve their time in a State prison. Not the usual Federal system that financial scofflaws often do find less unpleasant. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Not much. Just a complete teardown and inspection. Probably a new crankshaft assuming it's a piston engine. Other than that, no. And aircraft don't just "lose" their front gear. Something has to break it off. If you are talking about a small Cessna for the front gear is supported by the firewall. Which will sustain major damage before the gear is "lost".

So far you have backed up your position with "feelings" and anger over how money is dispensed. You have completely ignored the simple observable fact of the increasing levels of co2.

You are going to go with no. But the acknowledged geniuses of science are going with yes. Can you justify yourself with anything more than " that's how I feel "? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Actually, my understanding is that the unconscious man was not at fault in the accident, was an off duty "reserve LEO" of some sort. And was not really suspected of being under the influence. The offending officer was motivated by a desire to be sure to get proof to exonerate him. And of course the manly desire to exert his authority and be a bully.

There are videos of other containers exhibiting similar behavior. I think you overestimate the drag of a pilot chute at subterminal and overestimate the lever arm of a bridle exiting to the side of an inverted jumper. -Mark I haven't seen any others. But I would like to if they exist. I think you are right about expectations being unrealistic. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

You seem to look up to Mr. Musk as a real leader. Have you taken any time to read about his position on climate change? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

It's pretty much been shown in the field that the Wings design will not reliably extract the freebag in a configuration of a jumper on his back with the P/C pulling the bag toward the shoulders. And that it is not strong enough to flip a jumper in this very stable position over. It is reasonable to believe that if you give the system a chance to pull in the correct direction it will. I have not decided in my mind if this can be considered a defect or just a normal function of design. However, I've not heard of any other container demonstrating this limitation. On that basis I would not recommend this product to any jumper looking for new gear. And I make it a policy to make sure any customers who own them are aware of this. If knowing these facts are not enough to make Sunrise address the matter they are going to find themselves in market share trouble. Talk of the FAA or PIA addressing this is not realistic. Only the market can decide this one. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

A major event? Of violence in that region? Define major. Violence is a daily occurrence in most of the world. What if there is an outbreak of peace? Or a major breakthrough like the death of Bibi the warmonger? Would it disappoint you if a major event happened and it was a positive one? I know, I ask a lot of questions. Try to answer the last one. It's the important one. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I recently went through this with UPT. A sub dealer sent measurements for a new container for my wife. Canopies, Pilot 150 and Tempo 150. Got numerous messages about not being able to size it because Pilots are known to be variable. They kept talking about squeezing it into the smallest Micron possible. They wanted me to send them the canopy to size it. The bullshit finally ended when I looked at the size chart myself and found that the proper size container was not a Micron at all, but a V344. The gods of skydiving and rigging in DeLand just automatically assume the the proper fit is the smallest possible container. They did not even think to ask about what the customer wants. My wife is 55 years old, and is never going to downsize. And she does not want the hardest packjob possible. But until I intervened the dealer and UPT just automatically chose a container where both canopies would be "tight". Moral of the story. DO NOT let the manufacturer choose your container size alone.
