Oh dude..thats just wrong! Think kissing someone with a sweater on their teeth

I also want to know...why some people dont brush their teeth! yuck!

I don't think anyone hates the DZ. There are a bunch of fine folks that work there. What is in question is the same as it has been for quite some time now. Peace B2

Happy Birthday Jari_Bird! Here's hoping you get all that you wish for. xoxo "Mamma Bird"

I've had 2 step throughs ( I still love my packer) on my stiletto. Not a problem landing it.

Especially during monsoon season with 27% humidity...got love 120 degree dry heat

Nice photos Iwan and Deuce!

Ummm see do? or

45 Degrees Before You Leave? Bryan Burke, Safety and Training Advisor Lots of skydivers talk about using a 45 degree angle rule for exit separation, which means that on jump run you watch the group before you to make sure they are at a 45 degree angle behind the plane before you go. The 45 rule is attractive because it simplifies a complex problem. That’s exactly why it shouldn’t be relied upon. Freefall speed and aircraft speed actually are fairly close. 90 knots indicated airspeed at 13,000 feet is about 133 miles per hour. So, in theory, after the freefaller has lost all forward throw from the airplane (about six to eight seconds out the door) the airplane and freefaller will maintain close to a 45 degree angle from each other. Unfortunately the 45 degree rule is just another incarnation of the old “airspeed vs. groundspeed” argument. We see this as soon as we add wind aloft to the equation. If there is a 33 mile per hour wind on jump run, now the plane is only going 100 miles per hour over the ground while the freefaller is still going 133 down, give or take a few depending on the activity. A 45 degree angle will never be achieved. The windier it gets the steeper the angle will be. About the only thing the 45 degree rule does is get people to wait a little extra time while they puzzle over the angle. There are more variables, all of which apply to any discussion of exit separation and none of which are solved by the 45 rule. As any group leaves the plane, there will be an exit picture that will vary with the type of exit. A well launched RW chunk will appear much higher than a well launched head down exit. It will take several seconds, until the group has lost all forward throw, before the picture becomes useful. Then, it is only useful if you know what kind of ground speed you have, as noted above. And then, it is time to get going anyway, at least for smaller groups. The 45 rule implies that someone can watch the previous group the whole time. This is fine for a solo but isn’t practical when you need to pick up grips. Exit separation only works if the fast fallers leave after the slow fallers. If you change this order, you still have the problem of freefall drift affecting separation. If the angle is exactly the same between each group, that means the separation is the same for a solo and a 10-way. The 45 rule makes no allowance for group size, fall rate, or freefall activity. Ultimately it comes down to this: groups and individuals need to be far enough apart at deployment that they are unlikely to collide. The only way to do this is horizontal separation, and the only accurate reference is the ground. The airplane will never be a useful reference point. Forget about 45 degrees. Get accurate information about winds aloft and learn how to use it.

nope,not enough, bwahhhhhhhhh...NEXT???

LOl I think this is the first I've heard of this... Yeah I'm 5'8 and wear a size 4 shoe? Bwahhhhhhhhhhh

Bwahhhhhhhh oh like go figure! hehe!

(((((John))))) we've got lots of shoulders... B2

Well I never! Maybe it should be legalized...then she could pay taxes! What a novel concept!

Oh My Goodness! Madame SunnyOne has a cathouse....nippin' too I 'spose

*BB guffaws and chortles....nick anyone?

Welcome Raul...pull up a chair and sit a spell.

You mean she is running a cat house?

What ever happened to "fly the friendly skies" and " leave the driving to us?" oh wait...the later was greyhound. Never mind who needs a pilot anyway...I got my own ride

Well scoot over to the right seat then there mister and let me fly this puppy! Well dust dandy....I mean just...I think

I'm sure you're right.

Um I hope I just read this wrong...there was nothing funny about the fire in 'snore.

A bunch of photos too...

LOl well..iffin its good enough for Mary!
