    I think this is spot on. Well it does seem to work at keeping the riff raff out if they can't afford to play with the "right" people. K-RIP

    Hi SS I'm a little confused so help me out. I don't think the fucktard's on the BOD I checked the USPA org chart, Jim Hayhurst is employed by USPA Director of Competition Extension: 308 Competition@uspa.org Department: Competition Hayhurst is only a advisor to the BOD competition committee. IMO the term limits for BOD won't work. Hayhurst will still be the "Advisor" to the committee as long as he's the head of the competition dept. Anyone know how long Hayhurst has been employed by USPA and his salary. BTW I'm no longer a member of USPA. K-RIP

    Hi Guy's and Gal's It been so long since the last time I posted in this thread I almost couldn't find my way back Where was I After the dounle rocket we graduated to a 5TU, due to the club gear thing I think we went back and forth to the double rocket, 5TU and a 7TU all that with only 14 jumps Max exit altitude was 3200' from a Cessna 195 (no door) Texas Until I went back east and made one jump at LSPC from their NORS airplane , it was a S/l jump from 2500' rented their rig a blank gore. 1 Jume 69 signed by Pete wilson D-1832. I bet that one cost me some $$$$. Must have bought my first canopy a 7TU (elliptical cut) for extra drive around Sept 69 jump # 19, first Stand UP landing on jump #28 (only weighed 135# winds 0-3 mph 2nd jump from 5500'), Bought my PC brand new RWB for $290 from "Midwest" and got to jump it at #75 like I was supposed to Log books got to love them

    IMO 8K is kind of low for a tandem, "but a ripoff" that depends on what the passenger paid for at that Tandem mill. Some people pay sticker price, or double sticker's (dealer allocation charge, stain guard for interior etc) for new cars. Buyer beware FWIW it is what it is, and I don't have a dog in this fight.

    He's back Sorry guy's and gals couldn't find my digital pics or video's of the Double TU, or double rocket we jumped But now that I know what Google is If found these two sights for reference http://www.parachutehistory.com/round/index.html This next article is long but has lots of info about some of the history of the sport and canopy modifications (close to end) http://60sjumper.skydiveworld.com/start.htm BTW Do not believe the published forward speed of any of these modifications. To bad my neptune is broken. I'll have to make another trip to my fire proof security vault to check what some of the other canopys were before I finally bought my second custom canopy cut to my own spec's

    Hi Big guy See a the following thread http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4208802;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread IMO some folks earn their SCR's and others If everyone has a patch, these days it could mean a lot of things. Never heard about the number patch thing. The lower the number just means your old or know people.

    I'm back First canopy jumped was a double TU out of a cessna 195 in 1968.Used it for first 5 jumps over a 8 month period. Next one was a Gotta go change the battery I'll be back K-RIP I'm back My Next canopy was a double rocket. Damn I can't remember what a double TU or a double rocket mod looks like I'll have to check my digital library to see if I can find a pic, or google it. In hind sight I could have drawn a diagram in my LBB instead of just filling in canopy type. ""I'll be back, again K-RIP One Jump Wonder

    [replyNext time don't drop the meds in the toilet. The chemicals end up in the drinking supply! I have a septic tank, I'm afraid the meds would kill the good bugs. My septic tank discharges to a tile field that eventually ends up in the ground water. My water comes from a well located on my property. I try and return my unused meds to the drug store or the police. Who will burn, bury or destroy it some place. Everything has to go somewhere, in one form or another. During the BP oil spill in the gulf of mexico and the mass qty's chemicals added to do something to the oil we were to hear the BS excuse that dilution is the solution to pollution K-RIP
