  1. Aubrey, Pineapple Shirley sells them locally and can be bought at Ground Zero, and possibly SQ1. She's lives 5 minutes from the DZ and she also makes custom jumpsuits. You can get more info here and she can probably meet you at the DZ to get measurements.
  2. Info. The last 10 hours were completed in the rain.
  3. PS2, that way you could borrow it and play SOCOM II.....and it plays DVDs.
  4. Belfast is not Los Angeles. Unless you believe Kobe and Shaq are Al Qaida operatives.

    Name this plane

    It appears to be an Airbus A340-300, but the engines look different, possibly BMW/Rolls Royce.
  6. He should not jump. Airborne emergencies require dexterity and without full use of your hands you are putting yourself and others at risk. I spoke with said jumper after he decided not to jump. He was trying to convince me how he could operate his canopy and do control checks. I didn't ask him about high speed mals, but by then he had gotten the message. When in doubt, get the S&TA involved.
  7. Note correction. It goes both ways, but then again you would disagree. You should skydive more.... It keeps you sane, and gives you something other than politics to talk about. Or do you get turned on by arguing your point of view? Some people readily admit that they post shit just to piss others off; believed true or not.
  8. Speak with the S&TA. If they won't listen to me, they'd better listen to the S&TA.
  9. Marie said you did pretty good on your Level 2! She also said you read the SIM. That's great that you are doing your bookwork, too. How did your mom enjoy her Tandem? You coming out for Level 3 this weekend?
  10. We should be encouraging newbies to talk about their expereinces, rather than have them give advice. Call it what you want. Is it wrong that one guy/girl asks what other students have experienced during a similar AFF level? It shouldn't be. Many of my students post here on dz.com and I really don't get in the way. I do and will, however, send a PM to my students with answers to their questions. If it really bugs me with the advice I see posted, I will PM the advice giver. Afterall, I am jumping with the student and high level of responsibility is warranted. Shark AFF-I
  11. It was fun, but it wasn't the same without you. Congrats on the flight school! You need to get me current again! I miss you too! Aloha Nui Loa, Shark xo
  12. Marissa, Mele Kalikimaka! Aloha No Au Ia 'Oe Shark
  13. Hey M, Haven't seen ya at the DZ in a long time! Miss ya! Shark
  14. I'll be working at 'Snore, butt have sked some tunnel time on the 30th! You got the Shark's mobile?
  15. Cool! I heard you had a nice landing! I think you'll have to do something special for Grandma.

    i'm back

    Hi Lew, Nice to see ya in the air today! Welcome back and see you at the DZ! Shark
  17. You may not want to plan your vacation to SoCal...
  18. If you are interested, the Perris Skyventure waiver process took 30 seconds.
  19. What's this?! A net meeting for the Hitler Youth?!
  20. I had my first experience in the Tunnel today. It was totally cool, even for an 800 jump wonder/AFF-I. Several of the Elsinore staff took an hour in the Perris tunnel and 4, including myself were de-virginized. After our time Melanie took us for a private tour of the facility and all the cool stuff that is being built upstairs. The Skyventure staff was great and were very accommodating to our needs. Afterwards, we went to the Bombshelter and bought a few rounds of Coronas while we waited for the DC9's fly-by and eventual landing. Fucken-A! I can't wait to go back again!
  21. Hi Jen, At least you have more jumps than you have posts. Mark
  22. The cheap seats are always at the back of the airplane; 767 or Twin Otter. So, AFF'ers are flying 1st Class.
