    That's how a troll operates. Someone that attempts to get a rise out of somone.....IMHO

    Yes.

    I'm sure this has been covered somewhere, but I'm too lazy, so I'll ask. - How many jumpers. - What's the turn-around time (block to block) - How long is that jump run gonna be!!!!!!!

    Hey, "Does anybody smell a TROLL in here?!!

    Derek is totally right! Once a rigger, always a rigger. Just like a pilots license. Once a pilot...always a pilot (unless ya do something stupid) BTW, faa.gov is the official site, not landings.com

    I've got over 3000 hrs flying jumpers in a narrowbody C-182. Definitely not enough room for 5, even though I did it on a few occasions.......stupid of me though. I've flown the wide-body also, ok for 5...

    Like Erica said. IRON. Women especially more than men. Iron helps your hemoglobin upload oxygen. Without it, less oxygen makes it to your tissues/cells. Do the deed....feel the speed.

    My ex-girlfriend is a teacher. I thought of throwing her out of an airplane on an occasion or two But, she'd have to have a lesson plan for that....yeehaw.....

    I posted this over in General, but it got hijacked! So, Anyone have the video from the 40K hot air balloon jump that took place at Edwards AFB, CA about 6 or 7 years ago? It was on TV, not sure what the show's name was. The balloon was circled by an F-16 filming some of the footage, as well as great on-board footage. One of the guys that jumped, had his oxygen turned off accidentally, and went unconcious from hypoxia. I'd like to use that vid in one of my classes. Thanks, Buck

    Yep Buck, you got hijacked..........

    Ryan, we like ya dude.......Just having a lil fun at your expense

    Guess you'd call this a hijacked thread!!!! But really, it was a hot air balloon jump, 40,000 feet or a lil higher, Edwards AFB, sometime in the early 90's. TOMMY LAND if your out there I know you set up the oxygen console for the jump I'm talking about!!! TOMMY..........HELP!!!! or any of the phyz techs that were at Edwards then.

    sorry. Joe is not the guy. These guys were specifically trying the highest "hot air" balloon jump. Joe Kittingers' was a sealed envelope. thanks though........

    Me and Bob go way back......Bob is a great guy. thanks, Buck

    Bill, I see your point. But, supposedly they used special burners that would ignite in the rarefied air. If I remember correctly, they had to re-ignite the burners on several occasions due to oxygen starvation problems. I think their final altitude was something like 43K. I'm checking with some of my Air Force (AF) brethren that might have worked on the project. It was co-sponsored by the AF.

    Plus, VISION is the first thing you'll lose in a low oxygen environment (such as the one you were in!). And like everyone else said, pressure altitude, coupled with duration of exposure to that altitude makes hypoxic hypoxia a serious threat........
