    More specifically, it's "tower karst." Lots of karst in the US, but tower karst occurs in areas with wet climates. It accelerates the joint erosion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karst_topography

    Someone may have already suggested this, but you doctor can give you a trial pair of disposable contacts to try for free. I jump with mine without any problems. I don't tape up the vents in my goggles, either. It's never been a problem at all.

    Yeah, the Vector is a great rig too - just a pity about those battery cable terminating lugs on the ends of the cutaway housings. t Anyone have a picture of those handy?

    It's a prop used to teach geography. A flat doll, kind of like a gingerbread man, that you take with you on vacation or wherever. You take pictures of it in various places and you show the pictures to stimulate discussion.

    I live in Arkansas. I don't know Connie and I don't need to do any research. I've no doubt that this person is serious. It gets better than that.

    Going for a career as a professional banjo player would be more practical.

    HooknSwoop: Thanks for the explanation. I will continue to try and perfect the technique.

    One time, on a coach jump, I think it was like jump #18, my coach was between me and a nice cumulus. I watched him fall down the side of it. It was like watching someone that had just jumped off the top of a white skyscraper. Incredible

    Careful, Zippo. I'm no expert, but I've always thought that you should not pull it out until it's time to use it. It you take it out to scare someone, you run the risk of having it taken from, and used to shoot you. I've always told my wife that if you pick it up, you are then obligated to kill the guy as quickly as possible. If you don't, you are dead, yourself. I'd be curious what others opinions are on this.

    AFF, if you can swing it. It's worth it.

    That's interesting. I'm new to tracking and have only made 2 "tracking dives." On both of them I pulled out of my track to check my altitude and found that I was much higher than I expected to be. Of course it could all be in my mind.

    That's one of the coolest pics I've seen.

    I see. Thanks. Wish I had a chance to sit around that table.

    Can you elaborate on this? I want to make sure I'm never part of that group.

    Doesn't matter how long. If I'm not mistaken, it's illegal to use one that's expired.

    Dude, I can't wait to jump Mullins' King Air again. I'll never forget when we climbed out of that thing into the sleet on my last AFF jump. EXIT - EXIT - EXIT!!!

    Whatever you do, don't slide on your ass. You could break your back. Your feet are your landing gear. Planes don't land with their gear up, right?
