Perhaps if you didn't fight it things wouldn't have to start with a knee to the ribs

See the "Hold short lines" thread here in the bonfire.

You do understand that if the US produces a greater percentage of a smaller total we can still be experiencing peak oil and be a world leader in oil production. Don't come in here trying to use logic and common sense, you'll just leave shaking your head!

That's fucking disgusting. You can't use the urinal in front of the mirror before showering at a friend's house?!?!?!? Touche

I thought it was going to be a picture of a badass helicopter!

Insurance brokers warning to DZO's/Plane owners
Opie replied to PhreeZone's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I find this stat hard to believe... Why no incident reports online here every 29 days? Has Parachutist had a feature article? I would think at least 50% of the strikes would cause enough injury someone would notice??? Anyway - I almost had one years ago. A good friend was in the door with me, and he was stepping on my legwing/foot accidentally. When he/we left, I tumbled, with my leg wing zipper being torn open and my shoe falling off. I was told I was inches from the tail. It can happen to experienced people trying hard not to screw up, so maybe this is a problem that does exist that we need to discuss? You think all incidents get reported here? I know of a couple aircraft incidents this year (not wingsuit related) that are not reported here at all. The consensus of some that I know personally is that they are sick of the rampant speculation that goes on in the incidents forum and are unwilling to share here online because of it. It's sad because you used to be able to get the facts of what happened and learn from it but anymore it is the same handful of posters that go off into endless speculation and jumping to conclusions when all the facts haven't even had a chance to come out yet. -
drive up the night before, or do an all night drive
Opie replied to guineapiggie101's topic in The Bonfire
You are going to be up Friday, attend a party Friday evening, then make a 10hr overnight drive, then expect to enjoy yourself of Saturday? I know for me those things just don't add up. I would get a hotel early enough to get some good rest then finish the trip. -
Temporary Flight Restriction for Florida

Perhaps you haven't heard of the Speakers Corner but that's the place for comments like that -
What they said! They have been known to hurt people when put into some tough landing positions. Do you really want to be under less than the best if you ended up open low under a reserve and are forced to put it down in a tight back yard somewhere?

U.S. Navy maybe??? I bet when then call it a matter of national security they get to break out the checkbook. -
So you're saying you don't like to have it done or just not by a cousin?

It's good to see someone remembering me!

Your second link is from a different seller than the first one. Was the plane already sold once? or just being listed by a broker? -
