The Altitrack does have a hop and pop mode. Read the instruction manual.

I want my 5 minutes back.

I knew I read a thread about that sign when I saw it on Friday!

I don't know how skydiving manufacturers determine head sizes, but I'm resigned to an XXL cover for my melon. Practically any other sports helmet? Large.

Their yearly registration fee is a bullshit policy.

Didn't you state that you're in great shape in the other thread?

besides the thread you already started in this forum, why don't you try the wind tunnel forum. i'm not a scientist or anything......no, wait. i am.

For all the posting you've done here, I would have thought you'd know a little more about equipment. Finish your license, then worry about gear.

Wish I had your bankroll.

Yeah...because the economy of California is SO conducive to getting a high-paying job with lots of free time for jumping.

I hear prostitutes make good money. So I'd try Miami. That should give you enough cash to buy jump tickets/penicillin.

Meh. Forget the dogs and get a goat, like Skydive Houston did.

It's amazing how knowledgeable you can sound one minute and how douchey you can be the next.

light wingloading. there's a germain article about lightly loaded canopies and turbulence and how to cut through it. i'm surprised you haven't read it already.

***Really? Is it like, twice as fast? LOLZ. shah fails at basic math. again, post less here. ask instructors more. +1 to stop counting on the dytter. you put others at risk if you can't land a predictable pattern using only an altimeter.

It's not ALL about the money. With the exception of the biplane and the camera heli, we get to jump out of all his aircraft and land at his airports. As a jumper, I'm not involved in this owner/operator drama. I just smile, get on a load, and never fly over Billy's house.

On all aircraft? On all Vigil modes? Isn't there some rule about seatbelts and 1000 feet? Wouldn't the door have to open AFTER everyone gets their seatbelts off? So like, 1000 feet, then seatbelts, then doors?

Do you actually know Billy? It's about the money. There's a reason why he owns three airports, 4 otters, a 182, a caravan, a porter, a stunt biplane, three helicopters, etc., and it's not because he inherited them.

Think on-site ATM that got refilled once a week. @davelepka: I imagine 20 years would put a strain on any 3-way relationships. Hell, I can't even get the same 3-way twice!

So far as I understand it, from multiple sources, the way it went down was something like this. Joanie and the other owner didn't like the cut they were giving to Billy for use of the aircraft, so they decided to lower it without consulting him. As 2/3 ownership beats his 1/3, that's what happened. So Billy says F.U., I'm not letting you use my planes nor my pilots. So they go to Deland and now pay more for Deland's planes, pilots, and all the maintenance that Billy provided. This is, of course, after TK makes the decision to fly jumpers himself and gets busted for it. As for the embezzlement, you can't really deny what happened, and it happened under TK's watch as the DZM. While he's a really nice guy, there are just more and more of these instances where he makes bad decisions, so I can understand both sides of this disagreement. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Skydive City as an enterprise is basically dead now. Three of the four otters are at the Ranch, and the 4th one was in pieces the last time I saw it. SDC is still paying their main competition, Deland, for airplanes. Stay tuned folks. More popcorn is coming!

Thank you for reinforcing my point. When does your e-thug badge arrive?

Comments like this are why threads get locked and/or deleted. Not helpful regardless of which side of the issue you are on. should happen to this one too; giving a good guy a bad name is perfectly good for you i suppose then!? i've dealt with gary for an amount of about 3 grand, and i'm not the one whining over 60 measly bucks.. Maybe your response wouldn't have sounded so douchey if you posted a link to the response instead of telling the OP that he was stupid for not reading it.
