  1. The responsibility to avoid the open tandems at a lower altitude lies with the pilot and jumpers getting out higher. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. You do remember that you need to wait for the pilot's command to exit, right? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. $30 per jump, plus packing money when we have the time. It is pretty good pay here but there are trade offs like the toll it takes on your body, never having a weekend to yourself, and I haven't made very many "fun" jumps this year. On the other hand I've almost finished my PPL. It's a fun life but don't have illusions that you can get rich, or that it's not work. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. Correct. It was math, physics, ENGINEERING, and a LOT of $$$ that sent humans to the Moon. You forgot a few men with HUGE BRASS BALLS. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. For that number I just picked Jan 1. 2007, we don't really stop here, just slow down. Off to work in about 15 minutes and even have 4 to do on Christmas Day. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. 1540, but that includes AFF and Video. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Damn, Jim, 30 years down the road the only two I can positively identify are 43WT (Bob Sweet's Lodestar, second from left), 40T, and then possibly Harold Lang's Lodestar from Palatka. And yes, that would have been the '76 Turkey Meet with 102 registered 10-man teams, eight DC-3/C-47s and two Lodestars (one of the three in the pic did not fly the meet). Hoop Some days I think I was born too late in history.
  9. You can re-assemble a three ring but you can't figure out how to take some super tack and attach your alti to it's mount? Good grief. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. Why do you two look like big kids about to get into some trouble in that picture?
  11. Lighten up, Francis. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. I just spent 2 hours watching this guy's act..... what an artist! I'm a fan.
  13. fixed it. Why does Manhattan suffer from depression? The light at the end of the tunnel is Jersey. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Everyone in this thread playing this game needs to hand over their skydiver card right now. It's deluxe Karaoke for crying out loud! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. My thoughts and heart to you & family as well as her, and hoping that her suffering is short and passing peaceful. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. I can't see why the military would want to expose themselves to that sort of liability, but then I don't know the situation in Spain. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. You should be Tasered for that. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. Most are that I've seen, except the 269/300/333. I've often seen them flown from the left. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Nah, not my cup o' tea. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. www.craigslist.org ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Well methinks you shouldn't have. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. Hippies were more credible before they started trying to use technology. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. So why 71? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
