  1. When are you reinstalling the motor Jason? I am sitting here doing nothing on the west side and would be willing to lend a hand. I am leaving for tampa sunday but will be back late friday. Oh and saturday is reserved for Palatka, but if you are working on it today I can help out. .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!

  3. If I am not in Indiana inspecting a boiler.......you can count me in! What are the camping arrangements? Showers on site? .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!
  4. I think a better approach would be to pre-sell heli jump tickets. Most of the guys with the helis now a days will only show p if they are promised X amount of loads........and more often than not its a money losing venture for the organizer. So if you can sell enough to at least break even it would not be a crutch to the organizer. .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!
  5. HMMM......60 jumps, I am guessing that if he was talking to you it was for advice, i hope. I am in agreement, no way should that guy be filming tandems. Although, I did two this weekend, one jump with one extra person stinging and another with 6 people coming in doing a round on the passenger. I did not check jumps numbers but I am sure that there were a couple people with low numbers. The TM was OK with it and the jump was planned with my input, and all went well. Its really no different tagging along or filming the tandem in an aspect of safety. From a camera flyers prospective it is much more dangerous to have meat missles flying around while I am working! I have seen alot of new jumpers strapping on cameras and more than a few get talked into filming tandems by the DZ due to a lack of Camera Flyers. Lets face it, getting to a level where you can consistently and safely film tandems and put out a quality product takes ALOT of time, money and practice. I don't have exact numbers but I bet I have somewhere between 8-12K invested between equipment and jumps developing skills. I think we need (as already stated) enforceable BSR's. Ohh and having to be tandem qualified to film em is a little unfair. I am a type one diebedic and could never get the FAA medical.....(legally). .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!

  10. Plenty of advanced notice, which means no excuse not to show up and play
  11. Mark is flying the Skyvan at Deland. I was on the last attempt at flying jumpers in Mr. D at Palatka. The right engine blew an oil line and caught fire shortly after the tail wheel left the ground. That was a great plane, I did alot of my first 100 jumps from her. .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!
  12. That not being lazy or risking anyones pictures. Ya know that little thing on the screen that shows battery life? If it says I got battery life, I tend to believe it. I have 2 spare batteries for both my 20d and HC3, I have never had to use the spare 20D batteries. So don't make assumptions .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!
  13. not really, with the stock battery i have it set for 15 min and I shoot in auto focus. I have shot 11 tandems in one day and the battery had room to spare. i turn on prior to putting my FTP on my melon and I turn off after taking landing shots. You could also just open and close the CF card door, that will wake the camera up if it auto shuts off. .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!
  14. Yes it is set up on Pokerstars, early game at 2100 EST, late at 2230EST...cost is 5.50 and the password is toggle they are in the private tournet tab So come one, come all!!!!! .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!
  15. Come, sign up, play! .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!
  16. I gotta go with outside video..........primarily because I shoot video. Now I have to agree with Spence that there are way to many really bad 200-400 jump wonders doing horrible video, but the DZO must police this! I spent several hundred jumps refining my skills; with alot of RW and freeflying prior to starting, because I took the time to learn and refine my videos are consistent and I ensure that the customer gets his or her moneys worth! .......I hereby reject your reality and instead choose to insert my own!
