    Katana 170. I have a 120 and love it. Used to have a Sabre 190, then a Stilletto 150 (2 spinner cutaways) and now the Katana. Opens great, flares great. JMHO.

    Many skydivers think that no one notices what goes on in our world. In my many meetings with the city of Oceanside, CA I have heard from the city attorney and city planners about recent fatal incidents, aircraft maintenance issues and other assorted detrimemtal opinions towards our sport. When you fill out your renewal form for USPA membership, add a few clams to the Airport Access Defense Fund. My own fight has included about 500 phone calls with Randy Ottinger, many meetings with the city and finally the hiring of a land use attorney. Unfortunatly the FAA makes the aeronautical user prove to the sponsor their right to access the airport under the Airport Compliance Manual rules. A Part 16 formal process is long, involved and expensive. Airport access is a major issue for our sport. It's up to all of us to help out each battle if we can.

    I always wondered why jesus had those poor brothers and sisters that didn't get much publicity. That must have been some sibling rivalry as kids...

    Good. More to spend on jump tix! We have a few more minor issues to clear up with the city attorney.

    How ironic. I live in San Diego. I have a PRO rating. I have done many demos. I'm working with the city to start a DZ at Oceanside Airport. No one called me to participate. I feel so left out.

    How ironic. We supported Iraq in 1983 against Iran. Gave then billions$$$ .

    Gingrich and Santorum want to kill Iranian civilian scientists. Is that right?

    We took a fireman friend of mine about 7 years ago AFF at Perris. They were the only DZ with a student rig for a 6'6" 255lb person.

    What about the dz porn star, TI, that would up ratings!

    My lawyer saw your post and just upped her rate by $100 an hour! I should know a lot about an opening date tomorrow. It's not "if", it's just "When" now.

    My lawyer is meeting with the city attorney Thursday. Piles of BS nearly shoveled out of the way!

    There are many, many talented skydivers in the media/TV/movie industry. Money would be better spent on putting together a total video/print package to present to corporate sponsors for donations to the US team. Most of the jumpers would probably donate their time to the cause. Most of the cool video is already shot. And what is the membership's liablity in a "USPA" demo team having a mishap at an event?

    Cain is un electable because he is not well informed on international topics, has a poor 999 plan and doesn't seem very bright on many issues nor has a solid position on many issues.

    Congrats you three! In other related news, Bill and Amy will be writing a new boogie safety article.

    This post, along with the photo of your broken femur, should be made a sticky. Good stuff for young and old jumpers alike. Listen to advice. Nice job manning up with this post. I have seen some jumpers wreck themselves and still blame everyone/thing else. I hope you heal well and truly wish you the best. You're in luck. Chics dig swoopers, but they dig scars even more.
