Sight in your camera, say with a sight and it's best to hook it up to a tv and look at something above the tv and make the image centered on the tv at the sametime it's centered in your sight. Or guess. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

I sure Glenduh showing up to one of their DZ's and running his mouth was a big help, but then again we all know that was Jan's fault too. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Award the DZ a lifetime GM membership and the DZO a golden adaboy, after all nothing brings people out to jump like a dead body. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

An the fact that he is still flying like that is proof that system is broken and dose not work, for one they (FAA) already knew he was doing it and didn;t bother to follow up after the 45 days to see if he was in compliance or getting in, and then failed to bust his ass again when it was clear he was back operating the same. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Well next time if their carrying a rig over the shoulder run after them screaming Hold it TSA, hold it TSA and when you catch um yank their reserve ripcord, oh sorry thought it was a bomb and run off. make sure your not wearing a skydiver shirt. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Also don;t forget that Mr. Welkers posts on here were quoted in the case and marked as the SRD statements, when in fact at the time of his post he was NOT elected yet. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

You have implied that time & time again on a number of post when myself and other have pointed the out other BOD members shortcomings on this deal. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Why not just follow the lead of some operators who for years have been buying K-1 home heating oil in bulk, it's off season for K-1 so the per gallon cost is cheaper and those operators get away with it and have their supports who feel it's ok. Oh and a casa 212 is not a single it's a twin. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Nope he has it right, it was 500 jumps and 6 hrs FF time to attend the course not so long ago, so USPA had 1. a typo or 2. they have lowered the standards to this point. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

I've jumped a few dz's that are only flying 182's this season and are charging 24 bucks to 9K and one 24 to 8.5K, so those who are bitch'n about 24 or 25 to 13.5K need to rethink it. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

I don;t think so, if you strap a cameras to your head and get paid or slots for tandem jumps then there is NEVER a reason to be above them! If you do and then post the video or some one else post your shitty work on the world wide web, plan on getting your work picked over and or bashed on. They call it the "no fly zone" for a reason. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Oh well......fucking A, that makes it a whole lot better! Not like any camera flyers have killed a TM or anything bad like that before. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Only retards buy American cars and get bent because they fall apart so soon, should have gone with honda or toyota. UAW, good riddens, their to blame for their job's going to mexico and the great white north, I would gladly cross their picket line and even run a few of them over in my new 2008 honda, and laugh my ass off doing it.

And you've been flying cameras for how long now.... you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Sky Sports you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Don't hold your breath, the industry is and has been moving away from extra pay for stills for the last two to three years and moving to giving away for free or for 5 to 10 bucks extra. Unless your M.M., T. Hathway, Lazlo, O'brian, Kent who all can demand their going rate on any dz in the country and get it. You are replaceable and expendable and more a pain in the ass then a useable tool and one of the key trends today is the use of hand-cam as a requirement at many dz's and that is a growing requirement at more and more dz's in order to work there as a TM. You have those who work for peanuts and greedy DZO's to thank for the current trend in the sport to do away with and under pay outside slot camera flyers. If you work @ a DZ where the industry rate is still paid count your blessings, but count on seeing changes in the near future. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Why should I give way for free what took years of study in books and trial by fire and investment in money and time and many jumps to learn to a bunch of young punk asses who not only try steal your shooting style, but also try to steal your slot you've had for years by working your ass off and making a major investment in gear and to a dz, only to have you guys sell out and work for less then the market rate in order to suck ass and take way work from the old dogs. Not saying your one of those (for the record) but it's people like that who fuck up the industry by being willing to pimp out their ass for half the going rate and an ego stroke with some smoke blown up their ass for an extra tickel. And there is a never ending supply of them to replace you, willing to do it for even less money and only a free jump. You want to learn all this shit then sign up for a class or go buy a book or a video or god for bid go learn it the way most of us did, the hard way. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Yea, you said it yourself that everyone made your day great, but two really did the risky part, the jump. The way I see it is, running a dz is a lot of work and it takes team work, while it might seem that those who jump are the most important part on the team, that's not really true. You should make a point to order maybe a few pizzas (8 to 10 pies depending on dz size) and a few cases of cold sports drinks & water and show up during lunch, because if it's busy those working thier ass off always forget to eat lunch, make sure the pilots get some too, this way the whole team can eat and refresh with a cold drink and everyone will get a chance to learn your name, and trust me they will remember you at the end of the day and even next weekend. Or second best is do it at the end of the day and bring lot's of good beer! you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo
