Hi G The airport manager wanted a landing fee $5 / jumper landing I'm sure you already know that Mcnasty (AP Manager ) will still be working when your there. So watch your 6. Good Luck

Hi SCS The sport/industry like everything else has slowly evolved over time for various reasons. AFF, tandems, Turbins, the internet, USPA GMDZ program, to mention just a few of the reasons. I'm sure someone will correct me again if I'm wrong but I think for fun fun jumpers now having a liscense means that are no longer students because they now have a "offical USPA skydiving liscense " The big "A". And is highly encouraged by USPA and the MDZ's As a fun jumper we were like a lot of you all. Never considered getting a "A" don't remember why we got our "B" 7881." Almost back in the day" our log books were good enough except for the nationals, rateings etc. We finally got our D (12401) I think While jumping with the FT Lewis jump club. We didn't get our D for the ability to get a rateing it was so while jumpering out of army choppers for a $1/day we could choose our own foot wear, instead of boots and a frap hat instead of a hard shell helmet. The club set up the water jump, boats etc and we were able to use their student gear. It was worth getting a D to go back to jumping teva's and a frap hat.

Hi Pat I wonder what the french word term for parachuting is, and if skydiving is a english translation for that word. R

Need to learn to delagate 4 adults on the trip and your doing all the driving, bag dragging, OTOH you had a week of quality time with your extended family that they won't forget. Don't worry be happy R

HAH, this had me rolling Believe me it gets old very quickly. Somewhere around the 100th time it is posted it changes from funny to retarded. Hi 99 When your stuck with a lemon it's time to make lemonade. #2 aka the "shah" (King of Kings) has made 7k posts on DZ.com in 3 yr's #2 is consistent and isn't going to change, So put a spin on the #2 situation, #2 will continue to post on DZ,com, might make a jump once in a while and will continue to use a minimum opening altitude of 5k'. I try very hard not to read #2 's post for the reason you expressed (SOS) so everytime you see his posts just think about #2 's Zooming around at 5k under his canopy. Thats some shit. R.

Or...... a date with #2 aka The Shah. One Jump Wonder

You kind of have to admire that! It's honest. NO games. It leaves no room for misunderstandings.

QuoteHi, My boyfriend's birthday is coming up along with our anniversary so I'm looking for a nice present. I brought up the options hypothetically to him and he said he would enjoy a weekend getaway more because he's never been that interested in skydiving. He did say he would go skydiving but just that it's not on his list of must do things. I have never jumped either by the way. Should I go with my gut that says it's an experience we will never forget and he will like it after he's experienced it? Or do lots of people not enjoy their first jump (tandem)? Take a look at the incident forum and read about some Tandems and their family's that did not enjoy their tandems. Get in touch with the DZ your interested in and ask them to Email you a copy of the liability waiver that you and your friend wull be required to sign. R.

Hi #2 QuoteSome folks like you gotta have the bling bling, like Watch's, cars, condo's, trophy wives to be all you think you need to be happy. Propaganda works. R. to keep up with the #2 heads

Good news

By the ear - 4 for a $1, so it wasn't about trimming weight to save money. Hi JR Bad form by the shucker. I've never seen this Remember "almost back in the day" when corn was 10 ears/$1 One Jump Wonder

Hi #2 One Jump Wonder

Hi DM Mary Hartmen, mary hartmen Mork & Mindy $64k question F - troop Desert Rats Spanky and the gang. Honeymooners Beverly Hillbillies etc etc,

Who, Mark? Hi Irionic isn't it. A person posts a pic of a kick ass Lego "3", and some how #2 (Shah) see's a chance for his agenda. "Looking for luv in all the wrong places." #2 strikes again Not even close but very entertaining BTW Mark Nice job on the "3".

I wonder if Wal Mart has seen this. We've imported a lot of products from china. The sidewalk have been strong enough to support a little persons weight even with a sink hole underneath. One Jump Wonder

Hi Mr T We used to do the engine starts on the C-130's looking headon into the props. Sometime with the sun behind the props there was some kind of a "strobe effect" strange feeling almost like we were being hypnotized On the 130's we always tried to load everything thru the rear end, hot or cold and watched the pax like a hawk. Hot loading thru the front door definately we used our head set cord as a barrier to prevent the pax from turning into the props. Thanks for the thread. Gotta go eat breakfest Hopefully the DZ's won't have a prop strike happen for a very long time One Jump Wonder

Old Farts don't ties their shoes...they wear zipper boots or those Velcro closed 'tennis' shoes. I stoped wearing the velcro sneakes, about 10yr's ago.

Not an expert. Find out what medicare reimburses for the same treatment you received, and then start by offering them about 70% of that. What everyone else said. The hospitals don't like deadbeats but most will work with you if you work with them.

Hi 451 Who you calling a cry baby Thats old fart to you One Jump Wonder

FWIW Everyone has caller I.D. Not nice/smart to mess with lawyers One Jump Wonder
