    He broke the law, and in trying to bring him to justice, so did we. The nature of the infractions were *dramatically* different, but when one is taking an action intended to reinforce the concept of "Our laws will be obeyed!", one really ought to obey those laws.

    And so does Anderson Cooper (though not as much as the guinea pig). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Actually, we moved to Ritzville at the start of this season and have a private airport all to ourselves...exit 226 off I-90. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    This weekend there will be a bunch of us jumping not all that far from Fairchild, and just a couple hundred yards off I-90. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Here's a bit more detail. The URL is rather confusing. http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/ObamaBlueprintForChange.pdf Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I'll beg to differ on on the first part of the comment. He's proven the former, has yet to prove the latter (although his energy comments ring with more honesty than most). He is no more smarter than the average if he does not have a speech (paper) in front of him. The average graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law? Blues, Dave Oh is that his graduation status???? If you listened to him you would just think him and his wife were just poor black kids on the streets.?? That is where they both started. No silver spoons in either of their mouths, and both with JDs from Harvard, with honors. It seems to me they are the type of citizens we should be proud of, but go ahead and mock them if you feel the need. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    That is exactly how I started out my first time around in the mid 90's. We never had anyone get tangled, but it was a fairly short SL, as well - maybe 8 ft. Yeah, it doesn't sound like any sort of IAD I've heard of, but rather PCA S/L...which is what my student training was too. I didn't get the thing with the PC in a pouch halfway down the line...it sounds like a combination of the worst parts of S/L and IAD combined. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    Technically, I think he works for the state of Illinois, and he has presented his views. If he presented them on CNN would you complain that it's not your job to buy cable TV? You don't get to blame him for your unwillingness to listen/read. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I don't see the point in "hating" either religion. Neither one of them is for me, but if they make others sleep better, I fail to see the problem. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    There's a round type rating? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    You're free to make that decision for yourself, to wear your seatbelt to as high an altitude as you like. Nobody is going to force you to take it off. However, you shouldn't dictate to others that they must wear theirs above 1,000', if that's their personal choice. Even though it's me those others are going to kill when they go flying through the cabin? I think a dropzone policy of at least 1500' is reasonable. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    Hearing a passenger say "I'm soooo glad you're here to take care of me!!" was all it took to persuade me that someone doing AFF or S/L conquers their fears in a much deeper manner than does someone doing a tandem. It depends on the student and their fears more than the method, and those with the deepest seated fears don't really have any access to skydiving other than tandem. I've got some experience with every method, and as far as conquering fear goes, the most accomplished student I've had (by far) was one particular tandem student. Actually, the top 5 or so were probably tandems. For people that scared, solo jumps are just not really within the realm of reason. I'm glad I've gotten to play a part in helping a wide variety of people accomplish a wide variety of goals in a wide variety of ways...including tandem jumps.

    What's the proper response to this...excuse you? Maybe you should see a doctor? Blues, Dave LOL I think I've already addressed the fact that I'm a dork!!! g Well, I suppose it's better than when you told us about that sneeze. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    Why? A Mexican lawyer can't represent in a US court. Because we signed a treaty saying we would. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    It looks like Costco is doing a $150 rebate on the Nuvi 5000, but more importantly, does anyone else think the bean bag mount looks like something one would be more likely to find in a Castle than a Costco? http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?whse=BC&topnav=&prodid=11293145&ec=BC-EC24009-ProdID11280613&pos=0F&lang=en-US Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    Becuase Texas has alot that the US needs. Texas is the only state in the US that can stand alone, without the US. It seems to me that there were 22 states that didn't join the union until after Texas, so I'd consider your claim somewhat suspect. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

    You're supposed to yell something back, silly. I'll give you a hint. The 1st word begins with a F. And ends with "...uck the tandems!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  25. livendive
    They do that on your loads too?!! I don't get it either. I even asked JohnMitchell why the tandems need so much room because he does a lot of tandems. He said they don't need that much room. Besides, once the tandem passengers get up on their laps, there's extra room. I think they are just extra room hogs. It depends on the airplane. Most planes, we don't need any extra room except maybe a little during the hook-up. A TwinBo with 10 jumpers...yeah, I need a little elbow room to get hooked up.
