  1. Dang, I'm good. Wanna touch me? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. Got information on that? I fit that catagory of customer, and they have been jerking me around enough I'd like some payback. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. There is one advantage the Air Force system has. The Navy system does allow for multiple A?C to refuel at once though..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. That boom was bound to pop at the end. What did banks expect when they were lending "intrest only loan payments". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. The cock knocker couldn't hold it for an hour? Fucking 'tard. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. That is the essence of True Hip Hop. Period. Maybe they should be more EMO like half the crap "alternative" on the mainstream airwaves. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. I'm glad you qualified that. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Why the Sigma Micron? The size an weight are not all that different from a standard Sigma with an Icarus/Precision 330, and it's nicer to pack! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. I wear my helmet when working with an AFF student. Otherwise it's clipped into my chest strap for take off. Not the smartest thing, but that's my choice. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. Black. 28" ZP. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. I've been a part of a few proposals/weddings. They are a blast! One of the best was last year. I got the "bride to be", and the groom had arranged for an enormous sign to be laid out in the landing area after we took off. I spent most of the canopy time keeping us pointed away from the landing area and when I did turn in at around 1000agl, she notice the tarp and asked what it was. I said I didn't know. A few moments later she says "There are words on it." I asked what is said pretending to be distracted with flying the parachute. She started to read it to me, and halfway through she got real quiet and I could feel her start shaking. I swooped across the sign, landed her standing in front of the groom (on his knee) and the family and disconnected the harness fast. Good thing I did as she practically tacked him with a giant hug! Makes a fun time just that much better! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Not that odd. Used to be much more common in the days of F111 mains. Remeber that the PDR193 is actually larger than that as well. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. I still think those in high traffic areas, that realize their lifeblood is wuffo business will do very well. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Yes you can. On both counts. Is it advisable for skydivers? No. It's survival training in BASE however. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. It's sucked since the season with Puck. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. never works for me... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Toxic PC's

    Why? It does what's advertised, evening the bias more so than any other PC on the market. I'll agree that I don't find the benefit to outweigh the added cost, but that's just my opinion. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. As a former instructor I appreciated tips from wuffos, and usually accepted them, but have refused tips from skydivers and regular tunnel flyers as they are now part of the "family". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Brake settings are different for not only different types of canopies, but different sizes as well. It's often a balancing act between soft openings and predictable openings, sometimes other factors as well. Having a deeper brake setting can often promote a more symmetrical inflation but speed the opening as well. No setting at all on a modern 9 cell will often enable a canopy to snivel but the inflation may be prone to be less symmetrical. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. So their canopies are opening closer to full flight? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. When is the last time you flew a Raven 3? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. I thaought the "card" has been around for 3 to 4 years now. Or were you talking about something else? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. Eh, I disagree somewhat. The cannot have a rigger violated for performing such work. They can legally prevent riggers from doing work without authorization by not disclosing the instructions on how to do the work, or by not providing proprietary materials/parts to complete said work. Semantics for sure, but just the same....... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. However any other system that uses a standard RSL set up with pin on the ripcord instead of rsl can be. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
