    "The following are suggested maximum wing loadings based on experience level: a. A and B license 1.0 pounds per square foot (psf) maximum b. C license 1.2 psf maximum" A license is 25 jumps, C is 200. C would also be 499. Pretty conservative at that end, isn't it?

    That makes absolutely no sense. I'm not surprised and I'm not going to try explaining something self-evident. Just as the overwhelming proportion of your posts indicate, trying to make rational sense to religious zealots is analagous to discussing the Wall Street Journal with your cat. And don't bother parsing it and saying you're not a zealot. Anyone with an intellect reading this knows better. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen.

    Late to the party, this has probably already been addressed, and I'm surely open to the simple-minded accusation of being a "drive-by", but the answer is of course, yes. With all due respect, an MD is not an educational degree; it's a technical/vocational degree. One can only hope that some education came along with it.

    I voted 'Yes'. For the bottle-opener mounted on the side of the tiki-bar. Operate that one a few times - then you can go relieve yourself. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

    Well said, some people just wanna bitch I don't take it that VB wants to bitch as much as he wants to moan. After all, with 10,000 posts vs. 300 jumps, it seems clear where his interest lies. @VB - fatalities, backs, legs, etc.... BTDT.

    Yep, some puss-faces would complain their gold is too heavy. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

    Perhaps your take is just a bit inflammatory? I didn't get that message from his letter, but rather an urge for more caution. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

    Alleged current address has been posted in another thread. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess

    I'm going to have to go with John & Lance on this one. Having taught rolls and falls in martial arts for many years, a great number of people (typically more physically-inclined than the avg. populace) don't have a natural ability to do it smoothly until they've accomplished a lot of repetitions. This is in a controlled environment, on mats, and with a coach. Put in an adrenaline-charged, visually-intimidating unusual situation such as a parachute landing and the chances of a smooth rolling fall are going to significantly diminish. PLFs were designed in the days when round canopies ruled. If you're sinking steeply, they still apply. However, as John said - high forward speed... slide.

    Yes, but even that's not too great of a restriction. Most runways that DZ's operate from use runways about that length. So all you need is a hole big enough to see both ends of your runway through. That's a good reference to eyeball guesstiimate the hole size while spotting to determine if it's legal. That would depend on how you're "guesstimating". If the cloud layer is at the same elevation as the field, then yes, you've got a 4000' hole - but if that's the case, you've now got other problems to deal with. Supposing the clouds are at 5K' and you're at 10K' AGL, if you see a hole that just shows you the ends of a 4K' runway, the width of the hole is only 2K'. If I'm peeking through a keyhole, I can see an elephant. Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen.

    I can't say how much of a great idea I think this is. I really can't say. What the hell am I thinking - of course, it falls under the CSF waiver for common sense.

    Don't laugh. That shit is impossible to get off once it dries. Perhaps you're doing it wrong. You have to use a belt-sander. Disc-sanders just won't work.

    Cognizant? Vex? You trying to confuse summatheez skydivers? Looks like you've got some good advice that's come your way. Hopefully it's better than what you've gotten before...

    It's because your brain understands the speedometer on a '53 Oldsmobile quicker than the Warp Speed digital display on the Enterprise!

    Probably not - it's rather rare for skydiving instructors to take an interest in eager young women. Anyone ever hear of such a thing? Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man. - Anthony Burgess
