First of all I did read the whole thread as well as the other posts before they were removed in the other thread. Second of all I have no responsibility to sway those who fail to heed the common pratice in the industry today, or at least make an attempt to become educated by one or more of the many publications availble. If you make it to 100 plus jumps and think for a second that pulling a cutway handle and letting your RSL or AAD open your reserve, then your a fucking moron and if you bounce because of your stupidy then you get what you deserve. And Third, my comment about tourists is a blanket statement and not a PA, when your done having a look around at the sights maybe you can start your continued education in the sport of skydiving. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Why do you waste your time when clearly this person has all the answers already provided by one Mr. Bigtimeskygodknowitall who teaches RSL's are for uneducated retards, what sound advice to offer up to a green ass young punk who then repeats this misinformation as fact not only on the DZ.com, but to others as well. Hey but what do I know, I'm only one of the many internet skygods PA removed by slotperfect, get a clue! you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Those slim little easy to break cutting wheels, should do the trick, but it will be a small "slice". You may need to make more then one and join them. Another way might be to drill three or four holes and then make your cut. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Gald you got it worked out by why would you take that same kind of shit from a DZO? If your a paying customer......Tell um to fuck off and walk. If your an independent contractor @ dz remind them the laws that appy to you as an I.C. and if they don't like it still....then walk! If your one of the few employee's @ the dz, I still wouldn;t put up with that bullshit and I would walk. Or stay a be treated like shit and be ready to take more abuse in the future, as so many do. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Must not have been around for much time in the sport, we started to learn this in the late 70's that it was a really bad idea to do. It only takes one time watching some one get pounded to get a clue. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Because all the old dogs know better and till some young punk shows up and thinks he is the first to think up something & try it or here it's a bad idea then blow off the oldtimers advice as out dated & old guys talking shit, they go try it and find out the hard way. There is very little you can think up in this sport that hasn't already been thunk up, tried out, or shown off before. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Glad I could cheer you up. All kidding aside, if I was to lie my way on to a dz as a tandem I, (I don;t have a TI rating) after all I have dressed an ton of students and packed a ton of TDM rigs as a rigger, so I know the system in a out & filmed a bunch so I know the dive flow, but I took you mother up and did a hook turn and killed her, would you not expect me as well as those who didn't check to see if I met the requirements to face the fire? I don't really want to see this dude fried, sounds like a nice guy with a full fridge, and I really do think it sucks that this moron used him and his plane and dz to off himself. But the bottom line is it was his choice to not meet the requirements he knew he had been busted before for and there was a very good chance the same FSDO inspectors could bust him again at anytime, accident or no accident, a simple ramp check by the Fed's. As a small business owner myself I can't see taking such a risk as that, one that could not olny make the press and look bad to the public, but one that could keep my business from earnng money while my ticket is pulled for 45 to 90 or forever. There used to be a crazy ass DZo in Longmont Colorado, who if I remember right had the Fed's take his airmans C for life or he never had one ever, anyway he was busted time and time again and they told him if you keep it up were going to really bust your ass! Well he kept flying jumpers and one day the US Marshalls showed up and placed him under arrest and took him away and he did time in the Federal pen. I assume the time Bob was busted he was told to get his shit together or face action again, he didn't listen to good advice from the ruling party. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Um no. It's too bad a nut case choose to ruin Bob's day. However Bob knew that the FAA did not take a faviorable view of his use of a PPL to fly jumpers, by being busted once before for that very act,maybe he should have moved to Montana, then. So he very well knew the risk involved in repeating the act again for another 14 years, and in fact he is quite lucky that he got away with it as long as he did. However the very risk of any accident getting the FAA to snoop around his neck of the woods was always there. It could have been a run out of fuel and crash in town or a mid air with a MD 80 or any other host of shit that would have the Fed's poking around and asking questions. He & he alone was willing to take that risk, again, and lost. Sucks to be you, comes to mind. He should have made sure his duck's were in a row and i's dotted and t's crossed so that if any accident were to happen or even a simple ramp check would not yeild him a big pain in the ass called the FAA. If you roll the dice, you might just lose. I'm sorry the dz had to deal with the shock and truma of such an event, but I don't feel sorry a gambler who was willing to risk another dealing with the FAA by choosing to be uncompliant repetedly. We didn't throw Bob under the bus, he let it get parked on him by the FAA, by his own choice. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Good, now maybe you can get others to see the light. Storm the gates and all that shit. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

The problem with expecting any results from any USPA appointed office holder is that they have an interest in protecting their friends interest. Such things as former RD taking an under age tandem without bothering to file the proper paper work to get permission or a waver for the age requirements, while holding a tandem CD rating and is in charge of not only enforcing the rules on others as the RD, but is also the the guy who is teaching all new TI's that your NOT allowed to do that shit without jumping through the right hoops. How can you expect the likes of Glen Bangs to be honest and truthful in dealing with member complaints that were also proven by the FAA to be true, only to have Glenduh send out to invesigate the the on goings of not one but two DZ's his good old boy buddy Mr. Tom Welgos who in turn not only tried to say the FAA and USPA members in bed together to drive out of business one of the two DZ's and also stopped in at the second long enough to ask his buddy Mr. Jay Stokes if any of the reports that were filed were true, and was told no, only Mr. Stokes was not on staff or even in the state during time frame of the violations, his word was taken as fact because Mr. Welgos and Mr. Stokes are old army buddys & he would trust Mr. Stokes with his life and Mr. Welgos made such statements in the FSDO office as to his reasons why he would just take Mr. Stokes word for it. Then you have other cases, like USPA membership providing not only logbooks and video tapes proving one former RD Bob Ingoldsby was on the take of one DZO and was the S&TA @ that DZ where tandem ratings were given and rules for taking passangers were not followed per the SIMS or MFG requirements along with a whole host of other FAR & BSR violations that an S&TA would have to be blind and totally retarded to not know was 1. going on & 2. that is was a FAR violation. So Mr. Bangs choose to hand over the statements to the very person members told USPA was on the take to "clean it up". That's kind of like the cops who bust crooked cops expecting the crooked cops to police themselfs and not cover up the evidence, by handing them the evidence. So if you really think that you can trust the current seat holding President, Vice President, any other seat holding BOD member to publish a truthful report about not only their friend, but the very places they jump and work at then your friken fool and need to just go bury your head in the sand. If you want to see any real change, then start by voting out the "lifers" who serve for their own self serving interest and take back the USPA and return it to a membership ORG. and not a DZO trade ORG. filled with special interest politics. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

As of today Jet -A Self ser. $4.37 Full Ser.$5.99 average $5.35 gallon Kerosene K-1 2007 $2.86 lst wk $3.55 current $3.65 Per gallon Factor in the off season and bulk rate 2.86 or less is a good guess for 3K gallons. Your local prices may vary. Only good in the turbine fleet, not good in the 182's. Q.-hey how come your 100LL marked tank has pink shit coming out of it?
