    Make an apt and take it to the apple store, they'll give you a new one. Wonder why it died so soon... I'm on my second iPhone and never had that kinda issue in 3 or so years I've had them.

    agreed. but it makes you wonder, if both jumpers are experienced and are not jumping for hire (fun jumping) are they really breaking any rules ? In any case, a person should have the blessing of the T I/E and the mfg. doesn't mak any ****ing difference in my book. if you look into all the known tandem fatalities you will find more than one case where "untrained funjumpers" got into deep shit and killed themselves and/or the pax. so no matter who, where, when, why: doing tandems without proper training by an I/E is the worst idea you can have. and if there is no Strong, PDF, Racer I/E around go for he other company - there's loads of them Where do you get your data? There are incident reports in the back of the Vector2 tandem and SIGMA manuals that show untrained instructors in the report.

    So, January first only happens once a Friday the 13th? (sigh..........) Oh, damn. I fucked that all up, didn't I? Friday the 13th only happens on Jan 1st!

    This. I've got over a dozen pics that makes it look like someone is having an uninflated drogue in tow, when it's just because I snapped them at the exact instant before they inflated. Here's one off the laptop. ETA: another one, yes, I know he's rolling to his side.

    Was actually joking with the master rigger I'm working with while he was thumping away on his harness machine, that I've heard of people 5-cording their hands, but never seemed to hear of anyone bartacking themselves.

    I thought you were talking about the skywriter that was flying around our dz last Sunday. If the winds were 180* different, I SO would've busted this 'industrial haze'. The tandem students thought it was cool though!

    Spent the entire day sewing containers and harnesses to containers... The bartacker was looking at me funny, but didn't bite.

    Casey, if you're looking to jump something that's more 'fun' I'll let you jump my Safire2-169. It's going to be WAY more fun to fly that than the TRI and land loads better. If you can show him you're doing pretty damn good on it, it might sway his opinion in your favor. I think its funny you bring up the girl jumping there that jumps the 135, she and her dad thought she would do better under a different canopy... we all know how that ended up. If you don't want to fly it, you're just proving you want to downsize instead of have more fun in a safe manner. (What's really funny is his dad is a DZ.commer and he and I have talked about this thread already) "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

    Not that I remember, but that OP 143 in an MT was a pain in my ass several months ago. Was so glad that it was for someone that lived on the other side of the country. She moved here 2 weeks ago!

    Lets see you land into the wind more often than hooking it low because you're too high on final, mkay? Also, shouldn't you be packing a tandem?

    I cracked a screen on my iPhone 3, wasn't too terrible to swap with a new one. Once I put the new screen on it, went straight into an Otterbox defender where it worked fine for a while before I sold it to another dz.commer. I've got the 4 now, and it's in slightly less of a case, primarily because I think the Otterbox defender for the iphone 4's suck. If you got time and money, wait a few months for the 5 to hit the stores, it's probably going to have LTE and be much faster than the 3G (location will play a big role in that though).

    I've got a T-10 harness that would probably work well for a chest mount reserve under your harness. Also works well for doing intentional chops using the capewells.

    I simply point out the fact that my student is wearing a harness that says Warning in 3 different languages (SIGMA harness) when everyone else has one with some instructions on it (SDH harnesses).

    Throwing more people in front of the bus now? Maybe you should test the grounds keeper, the manifest girl and the manufacturer of the seal press the rigger used to seal the reserve.
