You have a license. That means you should be competent and capable of maintaining altitude awareness and emergency procedures. The AAD is a backup device meant to enhance, not replace, those procedures. At this point in your jumping you should be looking for the gear you're going to jumps for the next few hundred jumps or so. From your post, you have a rig and reserve. You need a main and, if you desire an AAD. Right now, IMHO, you should be jumping your own rig. Demo as many mains as you can safely get your hands on (and get specific coaching on those mains) and then buy one. Get as much info on the different AAD's out there and make another decision.

The only reason I wouldn't buy a Dixie Chicks album is that I'm not a country music fan. I, unlike most conservatives, don't care about the politics of entertainers. I like several artists and bands in spite of, not because their politics. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

Every day. I'd do it if it weren't for being only 278 shifts away from retirement.

Actually I was trying for an actual jump plane. The one I used to jump went to the bone yard years ago. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

Thank you very much

Can someone post a shot of a Twin Bonanza, please. I am making a page with shots of all the types of A/C I've jumped from. Thanks Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

I was there. I saw the same incident happen. I knew I could get broken or even dead from the very first day. I've been a Firefighter/EMT/Paramedic for 26 years, so that kind of thing is not new to me. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

You probably don't need to do anything. If she took the drugs, she will come up dirty on the whiz quiz she has to take for her probation. The court will handle it from there. Until then, don't leave her alone in your house. Other than that, the only thing you need to do is to assure yourself that you can restore your prescriptions so that you are not compromised.

Not true. I've went in many times in dreamland. Not dead yet.

Each drop zone has its own brand choice. Observing will usually tell you what brand they like. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

Yep, the bank failed to clear a deposit (they had seven days) and I bounced four checks. Then they had the balls to tell me I would still be responsible for the charges.

Your first year in skydiving will cost you the most. Here's the breakdown: Lessons: $1500-2000, depending on your performance in each level. USPA membership and license fee: $60 Gear: Used rig with AAD, $2000-4000 New rig with AAD: $4500-6000 Total: $3500-8000 After that all you pay for is jumps ($16-25, per jump) and reserve repacks ( ONce every 120 days, $45-80). As far as packing goes: It only takes a day or so to learn the basics. After that it is simply a matter of practice. Packing is easily learned and mastered. It is also a requirement to get your license. After that, most drop zones have packers that cost $5-8 per pack job (if you're lazy and don't like to pack). As far as what to get for your first rig: Ask Your instructor(s). They will guide you as to what type/brand of canopy/rig to choose. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.
