Thanks Tom, This is something I was going to post in one of the other forums a week or so ago, but decided not to for one reason or another. I was, until recently a pilot for a DZ in a 182 that held a field approval for a skydiver door installation that did not require a bailout rig for the pilot. As such, I never wore one because it wasn't required, and because I didn't see the need for one. After reading the story of the pilot who recently had to make practical use of his, I quickly realized what can happen, and how little control we, as a pilot can have over it, despite whatever our ego may say otherwise. As such, I requested that our DZO either find a suitable bailout rig for the PIC to use, or find another PIC for the aircraft that was willing forgo the risk that was presented to him. The DZO stated that he was not able to absorb the financial burden, so I moved on. Now I try to impress the dangers onto other pilots who may not be aware of the dangers that they are subjecting their selves to, but I maintain a position where I will not "narc" on those who do not chose to listen -- Hook high, flare on time

Yeah, sorta makes anything bigger than a two way a bitch though...

OK but, can I call the spot even though I'm attached to the bomb pod the entire ride up? Sure man, as you wish....

Arh, how I remember the days. I remember an AD in TN gave me advise about it when I could hold it for a very short period of time, first piece of advie was get an audible, which I reluctantly did even thought I didn't think it was so important at the time. Now I'm glad I did, it seems to be a lot eaiser for people to lose altitude awareness when veritcal Second was relax, be rigid but relaxed, didn't make much sense at the time, but focus on hanging from your legs, and that should get you pretty close. Third was, get experienced people to go with you. It sure helps to have somebody tell you what you can improve on, especially when they have video. -- Hook high, flare on time

alright, if I get it I'll offer jump tickets for $50 per slot for dz.commers. -- Hook high, flare on time

Still though, the altitude difference is only the difference of a few minutes, that's amazing dude. I imagine the pilot and staff were wore out from that day. Heh? Tired from 17 loads? -- Hook high, flare on time

Yeah, I hate it when the drogue gets stuck, quite inconvenient...

Do a search in the Photography forum, the guys there have discussed the pros/cons of this camera more then once and they really know their stuff. As a summary, there are no pro's, except for the size of the camera... -- Hook high, flare on time

Its a done deal!!!!!!I'll even buy you beer!!!!! I already said I would... jeesh, all I ask is you video me draining the pond.

Cool, sounds like a plan, I'll get video, you can't be as bad as Nathan.

Woooo hoooo BECKS!!! I'm so proud of you, I only wish I were there to share the joy, and to call you out for beer debt. So, now the question, are you a freak, or a butt sniffer?

Thanks for asking that Q, I was wondering the same thing...

Dude, that's like saying breathe before you wake up in the morning...

Yeah, I'm starting to think I won't be able to wait for it to hit the dollar theatre... -- Hook high, flare on time

Funniest thing that ever happened to me was when I was on student status. On my IAF level 7 somebody thought it would be a funny idea to swap the Raider 250 with a Stiletto 135... My what a shock when that opened.

Woo hoo, just got her new CD, and just finished figuring out how to unlock the web. Awesome stuff, very worth it.

Woo hoo, nice job Sebazz, I'll have to contact some people to see if you qualify for a number for that one..

Uhm, not a good idea. I used to always think how nice I would be if I closed the door when I was the last one out until I found out that if you do this and the pilot window is open, the door will blow in off the track. -- Hook high, flare on time
