That looks like fun.....I miss the Glacier area, might have to find a way out there some year to check out that boogie.

>I've built quite a number of jump doors for C206, King Airs, Caravans & Twin Otters and each one is different. This is awesome!!! I'ts funny,You know I was looking at the otter door and track system and thought- man that looks like a tricky custom rig to build....I was trying to figure out how you line up the tracks inside such an asymmetrical fusilage and have the door open and close reliably hundreds of times a month! Freekin amazing!

>not much different than the Casa with the door up / open, or the Skyvans with the smaller door open... is it? I was going to ask Skymama...How do those doors work anyway, is it a pushbutton hydraulic electrical operation? What is the general exit protocol for "door" time on those types of planes?

Excellent everyone, I found it easier to open and close the Otter doors in small increments as opposed to He-Man-ing it open and closed. Little at a time and you can make sure no one gets stuck in the finger grinder. Edit: and open the door from the middle, not the sides. yeah its the little tips that help the situation, I hope we can get lots of other tricks for door operation on other air craft too, then hopefully someone has a thread for no door or heli and baloon exit procedure................knowledge is power plus it prevents us from looking like the load ass.

>Easy for Otters. That's what I thought.....It's a sliding overhead door, how could I f*#k that up...So when I closed it on takeoff the sucker was tight as hell and I had to push with quite a bit of force to get it to close.....then open it again to cool everyone off but once we were climbing at full speed and I had to close it again- using the same force the bastard got away from me and went SLAM! I guess the air flow and pressure DOES have an effect on a sliding door- Now I know afterwards I watched people carefully hold it up on climb to prevent slamming.....ah ha!

yeah well I wasn't the only stinker on those loads When I was in the plane.... I swear somebody farted in my face on their way to the door. true story Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

yeah thanks..... and with this thread title.....hundreds of jumpsuits around the world are being washed today, including mine! Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Sometimes depending on the load you end up nearest to the door. Working the door on the ground and air is an important responsibility in this sport. Different planes and doors require different techniques. Some designs have special quirks. Please post some tips for different aircraft and flight modes so that noobs like me know what to expect when visiting other DZ's or flying in unfamiliar aircraft.... I've gotten yelled at a few times already,even at my own DZ. for awkward handling of the situation. For example at "DOOR!" time in the Cessnas I try to put a few fingers in the latch strap loop so it does not slip away when the door hits the prop blast. thanks in advance

Sure If you host the mini boogie I'll house some people for the weekend. My neighbors don't like me anyway Plus I have fire wood for people to split and weeds to pull in the garden Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

0-3- I think I owe for slamming the door and lots of other "firsts"-but it was great to be part of "Bolas on Tour" If he gets back around here next year we should have a mini Deezy. com boogie at JT !!!!- lots of cute women there BTW people

Good times!!! and they make a mean sammich at Jumptown too, you might see me there some more.......I'll try to keep my hand out of your leg straps next hybrid we try Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Tyler Durden; Did you know that if you mix equal parts of gasoline and frozen orange juice concentrate you can make napalm? This is Bob. Bob had bitch tits. [about the soap] Tyler sold his soap to department stores at $20 a bar. Lord knows what they charged. It was beautiful. We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them. My suitcase was vibrating? Airport Security Officer: Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while... [whispering] it's a dildo. Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo. Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

yes but you were and there so I didn't want to leave you out of the credits, it's a really nice DZ. maybe we can actually get that hybrid to work for you to film next time

10 K? that's fine I like a canopy sight seeing tour So what happened after, inquiring minds want to know...... Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Yesterday was one of the most fun skydays I have ever had, good safe jumps great new people to hang with, Olympia was a perfect host to us all and Bolas was awesome! He gave me lots of good pointers on sit flying, organized our attempted hybrid and flew like a crow. Even gave some tips on how I can close the door on an otter without chopping any feet off..... right Nikita? Olympia Nikita Bolas Howard and Jumptown.......You guys ROCK!!! BTW I left before the drunken thong party.... Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

Those Berg documents were a lot of reading, interesting case, lots of fine detail. You are familiar with fractal geometry,the Mandelbrot set? when this sequence of numbers and values is graphed it forms a complex pattern of repeating shapes in ever finer detail, no matter how powerful the magnification the shapes are the same. Truth telling on a civilization scale is very similar, you start at the global level,the national level etc. until you get down to the individual level. How fine should the magnification get with regard to our government? Politicians are not afforded any privacy...not when they wield power over other peoples lives. This case should be investigated all the way to impeachment if necessary because the constitution is at stake, and I am happy that you are willing to provide this information. it is valuable work be it a tough pill to stomach for some of us. BUT since constitutionality is at stake you have to be willing to let the democrats scrutinize to the fullest extent every bit of availabe information involving the Cheney years and his relationship to Halliburton, Carl Rove, Wolfowitz, Tenet, Rumsfeld,and Bush. right down to all the e mails deal?

As you know i support your right and the right of any American to question anything involving the executive office. Hell, all branches for that matter, whether or not I side with them ideologically, and those questions definitely should be answered to the questioners satisfaction. Unfortunately as you witnessed from the last administration it becomes a cumbersome distraction from the president doing the job at hand, which I know is annoying to their supporters but that's what they signed on for. I am glad people like you and W.S. are diligent in your scrutiny, it leads to more transparency serves as a warning to those in govt. who decide their ideology trumps the constitution. But the truth of this query may be difficult for one of us to accept...at some point we must accept and deal with the aftermath- We live in interesting times my friend,and democracy is funny to watch because like football there are constant game changing turnovers and fumbles don't you think? if we all take turns keeping watch over each others team making sure there is no cheating we can all live reasonably good lives in this game. Keep up the good work. Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires. D S #3.1415

I looked at some more information and i don't know how we got onto a conspiracy theory tangent here,it's misnomer I think for this situation. clerical error? disconnected paper trail? hearsay? wild goose chase even.....but a conspiracy, no. I do think W.S. et. al. have the right to fully explore and present any credible available information without assault...Every governmental institution should be scrutinized by it's citizens to the fullest extent to preserve constitutional fidelity- IMOP Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.
