    I just went to my office and tried this. Damn, I twisted my ankle. I should have locked the wheels so it couldn't move. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    Amazon, do you think you could squeeze yourself into one of those tutus? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    The term "mid life crisis" bugs me too but not nearly as much as when I hear somebody say "are you trying to recapture your lost youth?" This usually comes after the "lost youth" person buys a sports car, especially if it's a convertible. As if a gray haired guy and a convertible look silly together. It's fun, dammit. That's why I do it. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    Those are some really heavy jackstands! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    Funny story about that. At the time I ordered the Vigil's (one for me and one for my brother) I figured the numbers would be sequential. I got Vigil #19999. On the SAME DELIVERY my brothers was Vigil #20001. Me thinks they keep certain ones for certain people. Maybe George H. W. Bush got Vigil #20000. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane.

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. - Steve McCroskey "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    When I was teaching AFF I never got tipped. Maybe I wasn't very good. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    This isn't about four girls living in Manhattan and buying shoes, is it? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    Do a search on an airplane called a Slepcev Storch. According to the website taking off into a 16 mph wind is vertical with no forward roll. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    Your legs are too close together. Spread them as wide as the fabric will allow and you'll get much more lift. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    Fixed it for you. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    If you decide to get a Class 2 physical instead of a Class 3 won't the USPA & tandem manufactures accept that? Hell, go ahead and get a Class 1, but those expire every six months so you'll be seeing the doctor frequently. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area.

    You just about summed it up there. I had a regular Monday-Friday 8 to 5 job that paid the bills and I worked at the DZ, it was a tandem factory, on Saturday and Sunday. That was okay, for a while, then the DZ got sold and I didn't agree with some of the opinions of the new owner, who had no instructor ratings. Those ten years were some of the most fun years of my life but the novelty wore off and now I jump for my own selfish amusement. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane.

    I have 1,700 tandem jumps in my logbook. I always let them help me flare. It's never been a problem. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    Try real hard to be calm while talking to your customer. If you're nervous about your performance, have upset stomach after too many beers and chicken wings last night, you fear your girlfriend is about to leave you, put all that aside. Don't let them see you sweat. Over time you'll develop a routine of what they need to know, what you want them to know. Too much detail can be distracting to them. Stay away from the "fifth point of attachment" jokes. You never know how that will be received. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area.

    I'll have to remember to pack my binoculars so I can watch all the fun skydiving from the ground. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    For you guys down under, does the hard drive spin the opposite way? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    It's only robbery if there is an employee at the gas station. If nobody's home it is a burglary.

    Just one tiny, little, nit-picky correction. Plymouth didn't make a Viper. Dodge did. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things go better. (is that what I'm supposed to say? I don't want to be accused of saying some very stupid $hit) "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

    Again you are 52 THIS YEAR = 111 I'm 51. I ought to know. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
