and take pictures!!

Just trying to illustrate a point. McNasty said he doesn’t want the skydivers there because the group that was there 10 years ago pissed many people off. The group that was there 10 years ago and this group are two totally different groups and should be regarded as such. Just showing what this type of thinking leads to. Judge each person on their own merits, not what others similar to them in some way have done.

I dont have a dog in this race.. This will not effect me in anyway at all. I doubt I will ever get to KC to jump, But I truly hate to see this king of ignorance and unfounded prejudice. I understand that the locals trying to find any way they can to stop this. They may end up successful in the end or it just may cost the local municipalities a lot in court costs if the Skydivers decide to stand up for YOUR rights. As a GA pilot should be concerned because they may decide to go after you next when some pilot pisses one of them off. Even if it was a pilot from 10 years ago. And they can still open. Get some office space in town, Sell Jump tickets there... or Sell Stamps and get a free jump ticket with each stamp. Then have a separate entity That gives away Free Jumps to Stamp Collectors. Plane takes off from Federally Funded Airport. Jumpers Land on Private property. Not a Business. I know of one DZ that had to do something similar until they could get a Zoning Variance. The bottom line is why would a GA Pilot be so opposed to other General Aviation activities?? I just don’t get it.

OK.. Lets see.. 11 Years ago.. Some Totally different people did something that pissed you off. These people (Both the Jumpers and the new Owners) are not the same ones that were there before. Just because one group pissed you off, Doesn’t mean you will have the same problems with a different group. But I will warn you... I have heard that some Skydivers out there are Black... And a couple Jews even jump. Be careful they might show up at the Dropzone too. We couldn’t have that cause we all know them Blacks is just here to rob us and rape our white women!! And Lord help us if any of them Jews Show up!! Cause we all know that once you seen one you seen em all. They are all just alike!! Are you truly that ignorant?? Just because one group pissed you off, You automatically assume the next group will too??

Logic?? I have yet to see a Logical reason why people would be so upset about a Dropzone opening here. I do see alot of people getting worked about nothing. No one is trying to do anything to harm or take away anything from anyone. The is no good reason the Life -Flight should be opposed to a Dropzone on the same airport. It has been proven not to be a problem at other Airports. There is no logical reason they should be opposed. There in no logical reason to fear Skydivers. Dropzones have been proven to be able to exist on Hundreds of Airports without problems. Why do you feel this one will be different?? I realize that this is an emotional issue for some neighbors but I can’t understand any of the Logic behind their concerns. You have a Not very Busy Airport and some people would like to utilize it. They just want to go flying (same as GA pilots) They just prefer to get out of the plane and Fly. Big Sky, Plenty of room for all of us. Insurance, Zoning and other matters are for lawyers to handle. Life-Flight moving because of Skydivers?? Crazy and based of false assumptions that can be corrected if they just look around at other Airports where Life-Flight operates. There simply are NO PROBLEMS with this. Years of Dropzone/Life-Flight co-existence have proven this. Trespassing?? - Who gets hurt if someone happens to land out (Providing they are respectful of the Property??). This backasswards hick mentality of "You is on my Propety so Im a Gonna Shoot you" is just plain stupid. In the very RARE vent that a jumper doesn’t make it back to the dz and is forced to land somewhere other than the designated landing area.. How does that effect anyone?? What damage is done?? I do truly feel sorry for the people that have gotten all worked up about this. What a sad and pathetic life they must be leading to worry so much about something that will have no effect on them at all. It is a Big Sky. We all have the same rights to it. But since the locals are so worked up.. I think they should consider how much damage one of those GA Planes like a Beech could do if it crashed on their property. You know those GA Planes crash all the time right?? They should also make sure that EVERY single plane that comes into or out of that Airport have a $1,000,000 insurance policy that also names the City as insured. And all those planes coming in and Out might hamper Life-Flight too. I hope they can ban together to stop this horrible threat too. Actually the only reasonable thing to do is to stop all use of the airport (except Life-Flight of course)!

You allude to several Points in you posts. 1) A Requirement for Insurance that doesn’t exist. Plain and simple, If the City does not make the same exact requirement for ALL business at the airport, It is Discriminatory and the FAA will have no choice but to withhold funding from the airport for discriminatory practices. The city will lose on this one. The FAA has ruled on similar case in the past. And still doesnt stop them from opening, Just means that they cant lease hangar space untill the FAA steps in (and they will). 2) Life Flight Operations. Several other Airports host both Life Flight and Skydiving operations. Cullman Alabama is the first example that comes to mind. They have operated for many years without a single problem. The heli-pad is VERY close to the Landing area just like the proposed area. No big deal. 3) Traffic Pattern Concerns. From the stats posted, This is not a very busy airport at all. There are 100`s of Dropzones operating every single day through out the US on much busier airports. It is a BIG sky. There is plenty of room for everyone. Every Jumper knows that before exiting the Plane, You stick your head out and look for traffic. If you can see a Plane, Dont get out. From 14000 feet you can see a long way. In a Skydiver-Aircraft collision... The Skydiver always Looses!! The Jump pilot notifies the tower when Jumpers are about to exit and then again when Jumpers are in the air. Again.. This is not a problem at other much busier Airports, Why do you feel that it will be such a problem at your Airport? It is no big deal. 4) Trespassing. No Skydiver wants to land off. It sucks. However it does rarely happen. Nothing we can do about that. If the Jumper does any damage at all to crops, fences or other property, they must pay for it. USPA provides insurance to cover each and every Jumper for this. Skydiver will do everything they can to avoid landing off. 5) Small Landing Area. Yes, 10 Acres is a little tight but there are many much smaller landing areas. One of the Busiest DZ`s is the US (At least in number of Tandems per day – ASC) is Less than 5 Acres of usable landing area I would guess, the rest is totally surrounded by Tress and other obstacles. 100`s of jumps are made there every weekend. How would you feel if the area residents got tired of all the Noise that those airplanes created and were trying to shut down the airport?? Your plane could crash on take off or landing. It would do alot more damage than a Skydiver landing off. How do you react now if there is other aircraft in the pattern when you are trying to take off or land?? Do those other aircraft have the same right to be in the Sky as you do?? I cant see why people are so up in arms about this. It is such a trivial thing. It is not like anyone is trying to take anything away from anyone here. Big Sky, Lots of Room and we all have the same rights to it.

I think she be getting a little long in the tooth if you know what Im saying!! It may be time for you to trade her in on a newer model soon. One that is a little less Mouthy!! Those Old Biatches are just too much trouble most of the time. Happy Birthday Girl!!

We will be playing by Official TDA Rules. TDA Rule #325 - No Shimells allowed with-in 100 feet of the Table at anytime!! Seriously Mark.. You are welcome to play but will have to follow the rules. Which means you cannot talk while a hand is being played unless you are in the hand and it is your turn to act. Im afraid that if you actually have to close your mouth, Your head may expolde and that would be another mess that we have to clean up.

Yea!! Me Too!! OK.. Back on topic here... (Well Sort of) Poker Senminar.. I need a head count. PM me if you plan on Sitting in on the Seminar. It will be Thursday night. Poker Tournament - Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday Night. Saturday Night will be Final table only for people who won a seat in an earlier game. Please let me know which night you would like to play. Only 10 Slots per night. Play early if you can.

Of Course.. But that doesnt count as a Surprise.

Please dont bring up such dark and painful memories. It was a difficult time for many of us and the scars have not yet healed. I myself was forced to turn to whoring myself out for Crack to fuel my addictive personality. It was most unpleasant as the real crack whores didn’t like me invading their turf and called me names. So I started a discussion with them on Gun Control and Suddenly I felt better. Unfortunately not a one of them could tell me if I should disconnect my RSL or not. Finally I gave that up and tried to figure out how to get Songs off my iPod onto my Work PC only to be once again disappointed. Then I had to walk up to Random women in public and ask them to send me pictures of their Boobies and NOT a single one of them Did. Yep. It was scary.

Skinny`s 4-Way team??

I think you should post an example so we can all evaluate. Edit to Add: Anyone else agree???

I have a suggestion!! You wouldnt happen to have anything Like Maybe a Skin tight Red Vinyl Top and Mini Skirt would you?? Oh.. And some "Catch me, F*ck me" High Heels??

The script is already written. We are ready to start production. Too Bad you and the W.A.B. arent going to be at Dubliin to help out!! (And for your Skydiving scenes.. Uhhh. I think it will best if we use a Stunt Double!!)

On what Planet?? When I was that age I would have gladly let a Girl Kick my Ass Over and Over again in front of everyone if it meant that I could even get close to a Boobie!! (I guess I havent really changed much since then!!)

OK.. Production starts in 9 Days!! Cast and Crew need to report to Dublin for first read troughs soon as possible. We will make a Trailer (2 Minutes) for this movie at Dublin. Still need All Female 4-Way team, Two AFF Instructors, Fluffers and Volunteer Editors.

A Plane with Hans in it??

So Gia was right??

I was thinking the same thing!!

I am VERY happy about that!! If it would have been in Atlanta, They were going to tear down the Tabernacle and demolish several Parking garages and some of the only Green space left in Downtown. Charlotte is a MUCH better choice.

I know an Artist that works Cheap!! (OK.. Free even!!)

Demo, Demo, Demo!!! I think Aerodyne will be there. the Pilot 168 is a Great Canopy. You should try it.

As the new duly self-Appointed DZ.com Odds maker.. I am setting the Over/Under at 4 Days. Get your bets in now. Post your prediction... Over or Under?

I dont know about all that!! I mean she alright for a white girl and all... But..... (Didnt I already tell you.. Keep that Pimp Hand Strong my brother else she going to get all mouthy again!!)
