  1. Hi Howard Not a pilot and don't doubt that the airplane is a "Howard" We used to jump one back in the day recognize the outside of the plane but don't recall the depressed instrument panel. Different model numbers? One Jump Wonder
  2. Due to the attractive exchange rate for the euro vs the american $$$. Your club might be able buy a plane in the united states fill it with new jump gear fly it to your DZ sell the US made jump gear at a discount price and still make money on the gear. After your jump seaso is over sell/lease the plane to a club in spain or other country that has warm weather in the winter. Brainstorn with your club. You might even be able to buy the plane the american way: with a No money down, interest only loan for first couple of years, followed by a adjustable interest rate that can go either up or down.

  5. Thanks for the info Thats the problem with stats sometimes they don't tell the whole story. How many skydiving injuries /yr in US?? No data Anyone know if other countries national skydiving association keep stats injuries, or how what they consider a skydiving fatality. (Airplane crash) I can uderstand not including the caravan incident since it was a ferry flight. But the Acft accident before that could have been classified by USPA (at least) differently. We're finding out a lot of info thanks to DZ.com and diverdriver. Have a safe year lets all be careful out there.

  8. Hi Bigun The reason or the excuse. No reason to collect data on issues that may come back to bite you later. Do you know what the FAA investigation report of the incident looked like
  9. See top bar of this page click on dropzones than country and state, Since this is xmas season lots of "skydiving vacations" (aka Boogies) going on right now in warmer parts of the US, like Florida or Eloy ariz. Eloy is in driving distance from the grand canyon. There's alss a events forum lower down this this page. Beware: Caution: Danger: do not call 1-800- skyride.
  10. Land line, tele marketers I think thats one of the reasons the telephone answering machine was invented. "Sorry we can't come to the phone now" Then the "Do not Call list" snuck by their lobby group was almost the nail in their coffin.
  11. That's a sore spot in my family. AT&T broke up in what ... 1983? My grandfather died in 1992. He'd been managing his family's finances, so in preparation for handing all this over to my grandmother for the first time, my mother went through and did a mass cleanup of everything. One of the things she realized was that not only did they still have a Big Black Brick (TM) phone that was hard wired into the wall, Grandpa had been continuing to pay the phone company $3 a month since the breakup even though you now had the option to buy a phone for $30 and call it a day. Naturally Mom immediately had the jack rewired and a new phone was purchased. Karma is a bitch. Technology and competition is keeping some of the telephone service providers more honest. Being able to change prociders and keep the same phone # was . One Jump Wonder
  12. Bill If you've been a good boy all yr. Santa will hook you up Check under your Xmas tree. Not now silly One Jump Wonder
  13. Instructions for making own phone: 2 empty soup cans small hole in bottom connect the two cans with a piece of string. Insert string and tie a knot at each end Caller talks into can and listener puts ear to other end. Long distance home made phone's
  14. Bill The guy could be a officer in the army and wants to post a vdeo of his private's in his company, squad or what ever they call that army stuff. He wrote privates and you wrote nudity and I said what Krip...wake UP, dude...it's SHANE we're talking about, here!!! Hi Mneal I knew what he was talking about

  16. Mr Spot Thanks for the info About reusing the DV tape issue. Ruining the camcorder Think we'll hit costo and buy a ten pack of mini DV's. You da man One Jump Wonder
  17. Telephone trivia Anyone remember when you HAD to rent the telephone from the phone company. Anyone remember having a party line (Telephone speak) Anyone remember the last time you used a rotary dial phone and the color. Anyone remember making their own phone. Anyone remember not having a telephone.
  18. Hi In response to your question in the order they were made. Don't know Yes Yes NO Just my opinion. USPA makes the rules.
  19. Sure thing mate we're have a sale in the united states for all foreign jumpers. I think with the lastest exchange rate Euro/dollar or LB /dollar You'll find everything hear 1/3 off. Don't need a BPA card to get the discount. You can come to america buy a new kit, jump your ass off, nice weather etc cheaper than it's been in years. Keep a eye on the currency exchange rate for future discounts One Jump Wonder
  20. Does have a catchy tittle. Reminds me of a parartooper with a permanet forever tattoo. AIRBORN, below that is mean looking guy with a big knife in his teeth. Maybe under canopy Below that DEATH FROM ABOVE. I think this was 40-50's ink. One Jump Wonder
  21. Google Mr Guy Manos There's lots of info. Som folks don't need to strut their stuff. Who would have ever guessed it skydivers and cyberspace. computers. Mr manos stated so young I think he was pre tunnel.
  22. White folks can't dance. Wonder if any of that suff is on Utube. I think everyone should go to church at least once so they can experience what they won't be missing the rest of their life. More power to the people go like it and get comfort out of it. One Jump Wonder
