  1. You may have given me some things to think about, but I still say that you can't judge unless your there. I think the DZO's are both do tandems and may even teach other jumpers how to do tandemns. These guys and staff have thousands of safe jumps. If they are experienced and safe, and one of them is also a pilot who has a boat load of hours, then the simple fact that there are no violations or incidents should be enough evidence of STC's safety for me. I still say you don't know if you aren't here. But I'll think about it, if it makes you feel better. And for the spelling errrors, My spell checker button is broken, and this isn't about spelling. It's about safe jumping. If my family member came to do a tandem I would ask manifest if I could choose the most experienced tandem master and video guy who I know is safe.
  2. if i didn't know better, I'd think you gusy were jellous. the people your ragging on have been doing this stuff successfully for years and probably have more jumps than all of you combined, with out any problems. just leave'm alone and find someone else to talk aobut. besides havent you ever read that its really hard to judge distance from a video? how can you make judgments and really kno9w? all of these guys are really current and experienced and safe, and are DZO's who have been doing this stuff since the 90s.
  3. Fellow skrydivers, I need your expert opinions on something: Is it possible for the average Cesna 206 loaded with 3-5 sport/tandem jumpers to take off with a steel tow bar still attached to its nose gear? Assuming that it IS possible, is it possible for the same plane, still with the same steel tow bar attached to the nose gear, to complete jump run dump its load and return and land? Again, assuming all of the above, what sort of damage would you expect to see once the pilot completes his/her taxi back to the hanger and kills the engine? Has anyone ever heard of this happening? If you were the pilot in this story, would you: a) have a beer b) smoke a cigarette c) make a jump d) other __________
