Here's to Shiner...... To this morning and for those old enough to remember.....Plop Plop Fizz Fizz oh what a relief it is.....

Could you get close enough for pupil ID? Vertical slit pupil v. round? From what I understand a vertical is poisonous, round......not so much. Anyone verify this?....I don't have time to Google....Drink beer yes.......Google no.

She did it once, she will do it again. Well, probably, maybe......more than likely.....who knows.....Anyway, sorry. But that's just the facts of life. But, you wanna still give it a try that's cool. I definitely wouldn't go back in with throttles set on 100% though.........

I never said it was "right" to fly without proper credentials. I was stating that whether the guy had a PPL or a CPL had absolutely nothing to do with that young man dying. But I would also guess that some FAR is broke just about any day on any particular DZ..... Of course, that's just a guess.

Evidently......this guy didn't have a Commercial. And evidently it had absolutely had nothing to do with this other guy dying. That is all.... p.s. just stating the first obvious fact.

Quote From and EMT perspective, I have worked more crotch rocket wrecks then crusiers! Quote Ain't got (love my English) nothing to do with the bike. It's the crazy fucker that rides said bike. I feel wayyy more safe on my 439lb sport bike (i fuckin hate the term crotch rocket) than I do on an 800 lb cruiser. Inertia. For the OP. Buy what you wanna buy and ride it.

Can ya believe the B-2 has been around for 20 years?! My god our military aircraft are aging....... I think they said it was moisture (although maybe it was preventable?) that downed that massive plane......

edit to delete and add: Re-reading my own post sometimes makes me wonder why I post at all! Nice job on you helping out that new guy. Wish someone would've helped me out when I started hauling meat.......

And some horse definitely needs a drug screen pulled!

Were there snapping rubber bands involved? ltdiver haha! Actually, we only had a "scare" from that one..... Not many people know what a packing table is these days though...... ah, the good times..

Quote How many people name their kids after where they were made?Quote Packing Table

I heard that's the X Box live porn site.

If you cancel that, where do you stop? Anyway, I love airshows. Go to them when I can, where I can.

Or was it the cheaper alternative?

I agree with him on that..... !! I was just stating an almost obvious fact. Still, Fournier looks to be using a partial suit.... Maybe someone else could clarify

That's definitely one. Same site I was looking at earlier... And they are totally uncomfortable.

John, The partial pressure suit (PPS) leaves several areas of the body unpressurized (both feet and the wrist area of each hand) and it utilizes "capstans" (it's the tubes that run up/down the sides of the suit) which inflate and actually pull the fabric tight. Both gloves are connected with a tube and inflate with capstans also. Those suits aren't really designed for extended wear at high altitude, but some do use it.....Crazy I know but it works. NASA's launch/reentry suits are also PPS's. I helped "man rate" that design post-Challenger. Reason for utilizing a PPS v. a FPS is that they typically weigh less than a FPS. Probably some other reasons but I don't know them.... btw, a FPS is just that, you are totally encapsulated (all body parts are protected.) Kittinger did have a glove fail on his PPS and experienced significant pain because of it in his hand. btw, I'm not an expert on pressure suits. I've just worn a few in my lifetime! I am an instructor on altitude and dive chambers...... P.S. There is a reason my friends only stayed at 100K for 30ish minutes. Both experienced decompression sickness......! I'll see if I can find more vids of Fournier and confirm. cheers!

Water, and blood, boil at body temp, 98.6 F, at any altitude above 62,000 feet. He'll need a full pressure suit. That weightless thing was funny. News reporters don't often know much science.

Glory last forever.... But seriously, dropping 20 mil on this and I would drop a 100K on a full p-suit. MUCH safer and it's relatively easy to manage.

Good luck to him! And I'll back up the post regarding weightlessness. Not until he exits. Looks like he will also be wearing a partial pressure suit (from the look of it in the video) v. a full. There are several areas of the body that are not protected when wearing a partial. bummer.....

Thanks then!!

Actually they added a while ago a statement (in addition to the one you stated) that no one can act as a crewmember (ie fly): (4) While having an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater in a blood or breath specimen. Alcohol concentration means grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. But back to the topic at hand, you can still be over the legal limit many many hours after consumption. Just say no......

No, actually it's Monday To those who served, and are serving.....I give much thanks. Skydemon2, you serve?

I caught the show this morning! Glad I'm not the only one that thought she was inappropriate with her "Barracuda" slink in her leathers across the stage in front of those poor kids!

Having NO tats is the new "in thing" now.....
