    Kind of funny is it, you and I were just talking about this not all that long ago. As we see there is those who get it and those who never will, never know maybe it will come full circle? Till then we'll just have to keep puttin up with these jumper types and maybe make a skydiver or two along the way, if were lucky. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    Well your welcome to use mine, a mint 1962 switlik ready for free fall in a sleeve and it only has three jumps on it. Now my fat ass plans on using my jumbo 74 PC. See how you are, there you go stiring up the young ones again with all this foolish talk. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    That's what I'm talking about. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    It's a strap that goes between the risers and is attached to the links on the canopy is case your snaps that attach to your D rings fail you don't streemer in and go splat! If you can find a poynters manual you can see what his is talking about. To PC Chap. I have seen both and I have replaced the 550 ones with ones I made with tubular. The longer ones you just have to make a nice little "S" fold in the pack tray between the L bars. Most of my warts all have short risers, I have both 2 link and four, if your going to have one installed on a four link set (one riser a side two L bars a side), it can be on only two L bars, like I said the idea is "in case one of your snaps fails you don't die." you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    Ask anyone who was @ the 04 Richmond boogie just how low (names removed) two guy's on the all round load got opened. However we, I mean they cheated and used wonderhogs with boc's and pod packed MK-1's. Heard a few people talking about counting fingers and others starting to looking away. Let's just say two out of 10 were on the ground a good 5 mins before the rest landed, even Carbone! you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    Do you mean only the new 08 imovie or would an older 06 handle it too. I assume I would have to get an upgrade of software? I thought AVCHD was mpeg 4. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    Nope, I'll go up for a low pull contest with you, BUT were going to go all out and go old school and use gutter gear and all mains packed in sleeves, no AAD's, No Helmets & pencil packed warts that haven't been repack for 5 years and we're getting out @ 3.5........ You ready to go? Pussy! you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    I was under the impression from our talks that mac/imovie was not AVCHD friendly, but could be HD friendly, say a HC 1 etc. ??? Maybe I mis understood, because I do have an interest in getting an HC -1 or 3,5,9 sometime down the road, but not if I would have to get a new editing system, I'm VERY happy with my mac and imovie 06 and gee three add ons. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    It's a 1929 White "new standard" D25A biplane. There were only 77 total ever made and only seven left flying in the world today. This plane and many others were indeed used as crop dusters in the 30's and 40's. This airplane was restored from a crop duster back to orginal and made it's first flight back last month, after a few years of restore work by the pilot. It's is now on tour and being flown at airshows and fly in's giving rides to folks. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    Four, my fat ass and 3 skinny people. The owner told me when they rebuilt it (first flight was june 1-08) that they put extra support in the wing strut area for wingwalking on it. Sweet ride for sure! you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

    The oldest sport main still in production today is the PARACOMANDER, first marketed 1964 and still in production today. http://www.pioneeraero.com/2-5_fre_fal.htm And all you square pilots today that need a aerial photo and instruction sheet just to understand how to land in the LZ, couldn't handle this HP canopy..........For one thing, your spot'n with the green fucking light won't cut it.
