    No, Blackwater owns their own fleet of airplanes and keeps them various places. Randy Kern and Geno Suarez (both ex-golden knights) fly out of their base in Laurenburg, NC

    Just so you people know, you have to provide a good bit of personal information just to get to whatever this thing is. I was not able to get in using fake info, so I blew it off. Also, unless you uncheck that block at the bottom of the first page you will effectively negate having ever put yourself on the "do not call" registry.

    Oh! How about Fayetteville, NC to Indianapolis, IN, to Cleveland, OH and back to Fayettenam in a red one-week-old '96 Vette in a fucking blizzard?! I was literally plowing the car down the road. What a stupid way to break in a new car. I had to get up to Fort Ben Harrison to check my records though.

    A bunch of us sat right there and watched it from the BirdMan tent. It was pretty nuts. John was up there going "WOO HOO HOO" before they landed. It was slick. Like Bo said though, there were litterally four mal/CYPRES fires in a row out of that PAC.

    I am just sick of the WRONG people wearing them. I think they look great on the right people. Back to the topic of this thread though, I don't think the pics of those three bikinis in the first thread make anyone look good. "small" doesn't mean anything if it's not a good cut. That's not a flattering piece of material in my opinion.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!

    How about Fayetteville, NC to San Diego (actually Coronado Island) in a Ryder truck with a 65 mph governor and a broken radio, by way of El Paso, TX? Fayetteville, NC to Quincy, IL in a 1976 Coachmen Leprechaun with engine trouble. Opelika, AL to Colorado Springs, CO in a 1974 Ford Pinto with a broken seat latch Fayetteville, NC to Key West, FL a whole bunch of times in everything from an Army 2.5 ton truck to a Harley FXR Fayetteville, NC to Laredo, TX by way of El Paso Philadelphia, PA to Dallas, TX in an AMC Sportabout with four people, one dog and one very-angry cat....Oh, and the transmission blew up around half way there. I could go on and on.

    well who ever that is in the pic.... carry on. That's Liz (the packer), and yes, she can certainly pull the look off.

    I think any attempt ought to include any capable skydiver who is a part of the "core" group, and that, of course, includes your fat, sweaty ass. I am going to be working some at that boogie as well, but will absolutely be a part of any record that happens. Chuck

    Sure there is. There are some great photos of both of the big-way events posted to this forum, you just need to dig a bit.

    I beg to differ......but a guy at my DZ (BlueSBdeath) has a RAWA with video/still/flash Jake, Not unless he changed helmets in the last few weeks. That is a 2K Composites helmet. The principle may well be the same. It is definitely a unique setup. Ed Ed is correct. Arvel jumps an FF2 by 2k composites

    I have been jumping for 25 years this month and I have never, ever packed a lineover. Not on my own rigs, any of the hundreds of tandems I have packed other than my own, nor any of the probably 1000 student mains I have ever packed using a flat pack or a variation thereof. For that matter, I can't recall ever hearing of a line-over mal'd main at any dropzone I have worked at where mains were flat packed (or roll packed). Actually, I have never, ever packed a malfunction of any type when flat packing. What I do hear a lot about are the incredible number of tandem mals at super-busy dropzones that PRO pack. I have one good friend (Rob St. John) that experienced 12 in four months at a dropzone he was working at in Nevada. Thanks, but I am with Bill on this one. Chuck

    You didn't say anything about people who are in online "relationships" without ever having laid eyes on the person. Those breakups are possibly the most pathetic.
  17. SkymonkeyONE
    I don't consider the risk at all, seriously. I skydive because it's fun. I do quite a few "dangerous" things, but definitely don't participate in any of them because of that.

    I have bore witness to some amazingly low fly-bys. Tim Thacker used to buzz the DZ so low in the Twin Bonanza that you would swear he was going to dig props and then not be able to pull up in time to miss the powerlines (now underground) on Doc Brown road. I stood there one time and watched a DC-3 do such a low fly-by at Raeford that the pilot had to turn the plane on edge to get the left wingtip through the gap in the trees next to Gene Paul's house. The last really good buzz job I saw was at the Eloy Holiday Boogie in 02/03 at the end of the day on New Years Eve when Larry Hill came sideways across the main landing area at WOT in his jet, just after the formation fly-by all the planes had just done. If he was more than ten feet off the deck I will kiss everyone's ass on here. It was fucking bad-ass; Blue Angels style, catching almost everyone off guard.

    Yes. But on the other hand, there have been people killed from low passes. I recall incident where a line of jumpers was out to "moon" the pilot on a low fly-by, and the pilot came so low that his propellers chopped several of the mooners to death... They're fun - but we've got to do them carefully, and with common sense. That happened Halloween boogie at Barnwell, SC. I think it must have been around 1993, but I may be wrong by a couple of years. Randy Cash was flying the C-182 that hit the guy. The purpose of that night flight at all was so that a just-married couple could consumate the relationship "mile high club" style. It might have been at that very same boogie that videographer Joe Leith went in on a tube dive out of the Caribou. Very unfortunate events, but a hell of a party. Chuck

    They might look good on you, Carrie; you are a small girl. On the great majority of girls I see wearing those things, though, it's just like Wendy said. They make you look fat. Even most of the party girls that think they are oh so trendy just look dumpy in them. They look especially bad when they are walking around with a Marlboro hanging out of their mouth. Just my opinion. Chuck

    Now that's impressive. WOE NOW! My cousin finally poked his head out of Speakers Corner! Somebody take a frame shot!
  25. SkymonkeyONE
    Ah, you must jump at a dropzone that PRO packs tandem mains.
