    Trying my best to be headed that way around then!!!!! how's things been down there????

    Right on! Sounds like a better plan....if most people would spend as much energy on changing something they dislike about uspa as they would bitching about it....it would be a different uspa. ....I bitch to my Regional Director on a regular basis....

    Well then let the "masses" speak and do away with USPA. I'm sure the FAA will be far less political, more efficient and run the skydiving world a lot better. btw....where was this poll taken? # of uspa members polled?

    Then maybe we should refrain from bashing USPA until we know the details. And if USPA sucks that bad......maybe you should stop supporting it with paying dues. Do tandems at a non-uspa dz....you'll probably make more $$.

    This method is a very good tool to have in your pocket, but will bite you FAST! The last guy I watched do it wrong hasn't walked or fed himself in a month. It demands all of your attention. You shouldn't use it just to stay close to the camera man. The number 1 priority using this maneuver is coming out of brakes at the proper altitude. It's very easy to get sucked into holding the brakes to long and underestimating the surge. Swoop

    .....Mark and I are packing the Otter up right now!!! For those yankee's coming down, it was a sweltering 76 degrees here in Palatka yesterday. Had to run the air-conditioner to stay cool. Of course, I saw on the news there was something keeping all my friends back north cool too. swoop (preparing for 2 weeks of sure Hell!!)

    hehe....I'm sure of it!!! A proper lady always......well nevermind. What's up ladies? Hope all is well on the other side of the atlantic. Mark and I are getting packed up and ready for the Marathon Key Boggie. It would be nice to have everybody from Aerohio down there....but I'm sure your having your own fun!! Mark says hi, and he misses you two trolling around the dz at night. (....just not the same down here...) Hey Nate, is there anything I should know about the holiday party? I would like to see the video you put together....Anything to take my mind off this place for a couple mins! Swoop

    Hey Chris, I carried my rig onboard at Jacksonville, Phoenix, and Las Vegas airports last week and didn't have any trouble at any T.A.S. station. After getting through, I asked every stupidvisor what the policy was and got a uniform answer from all three. "If the airline allows it, and there is no CO2 cart, it's ok." Sounds like they have all been edumicated on these parachute thingys.....swoop

    So did the canopy break his leg? Or was it the poor decision/guidance of both downsizing the canopy AND going to a elliptical/higher performance canopy. Everybody downsizing should proceed in small single steps. If you switch to a different wing w/ different flight responses, you should maybe think about keeping the same size or even go up. I do agree with you that there should be a standard. However with all the different canopies(square,ellip,crossbraced,airlocks) actual square footage should just a piece of your decision. Shawn

    PD can call it whatever they want in my book. I'll find the size I like and buy it!!!

    All my condolences to you and the family at Finger Lakes. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to hang with Tommy much, but his spark for life and skydiving was very apparent. May God bless him on his next journey and you know he'll have a tall guinness in hand for you the next time you meet. Swoop
