Closing an obligated airport is a long, complicated and involved process. All skydivers should take a look at the FAA's Airport Compliance Manual. 5190.6b http://www.faa.gov/airports/resources/publications/orders/compliance_5190_6/ This is the rule book for the airport sponsors to follow.

I find myself cheering for a tie game so I can watch 3 on 3. What do you guys think of it?

They moved to Panama.

Would a WFFC be as big of a hit today, when we have a turbine in every town? Do younger jumpers care about jumping specialty aircraft? Because I know of a place that would be perfect...

I always said the NFL should have recruited him. What a player...

Grimmie's Law. It's just like Goodwin's, only change Hitler with Obama.

Once we get a fair number of jumps under our belts, it is very easy to become complacent at break off and in the pattern when jumping with friends. Think about most of our jump habits. We usually jump the same one or two DZs. We usually jump with the same group of friends. Now think about our thought process when going somewhere new and getting on a load that we don't know anyone. We usually track our asses off on those loads! Why? Because we don't have that same false level of comfort as jumping with our regulars. The last brutal canopy collision I witnessed was between best friends on opening. They were on a jump with all old friends. One didn't survive. At this years nationals I was almost run into under canopy by a team mate. Never let your guard down. Even on a two or three way.

Start your own DZ and make her run manifest.

.. etc etc.... Indeed. Which is why the pilot should have a couple extra hundred feet in the bank, so that jumpers can actually get to jump at the altitude they paid for on average. Although there may be some compromise for aircraft performance, it shouldn't be the pilot just hitting 12500' or whatever for a split second before the door opens, or only the first one out of the plane getting what he paid for. (Obviously if the jumpers don't like it the DZO can change the quoted altitude down a bit or adjust up the price and give full altitude. But don't blatantly lie to all the sport jumpers. If DZOs do that to tandems, well that's another story...) Some DZs are altitude restricted by ATC, thus not able to fly a foot over 13K maybe. If skydivers actually did the climb out like the dirt dive, the jump plane wouldn't have to lose altitude, however, everyone takes an eternity to launch that first big way out the door, thus screwing the next groups for a few hundred feet of fun. AND, with the cost of operations these days, a jump ticket should actually be about $40.

Word on the street is there will be no PV boogie this year. https://www.facebook.com/SkydiveMexVallarta/ Send them a facecrack message.

I wonder if all churches will be using background checks like this soon. http://www.oxforddoc.com/ I coach youth hockey. We have to fill out about four pages of info for a background check (and fingerprints) before we are allowed on the ice and in the locker room with the kids. Each season a new background check is done. A sad state of affairs in our modern society, but a great idea for any group working with kids. IMHO.

I highly enjoyed the madskillz CRW work. I'll have a few more highlights for my next DZ EMS training days. Thanks!

MOST OF CANADA remembers that, Paul. And yet they still let me come back once in a while.

Jagr might score his age in goals at this pace! The kids in AZ are lighting it up. Good to see. The Kings finally looked like the Kings last night as the Sharks looked like themselves too.

Thanks. It's back to running exotic boogies and helping some folks get drop zones opened around the globe. It's been nice to watch football all day on a sunday.

I might have to revise my pick to Montreal vs anyone in the west.

Lots of good places to jump. Perris will have loads going on the week days. Elsinore and Tsunami/Go Jump in Oceanside will have loads cranking n the weekends. Have fun!
