  1. If they are an ex-military rigger, and they never got their FAA cert, it ain't legal. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. I'd ask them. Since it includes a date, I'd guess a rigger repacked it and signed it off. That's a recertification of the airworthyness of the system. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. Hat off to you Mike. I'll stop in for a jump if I'm ever out that way, and heck maybe I'll hit ya up for a job sometime!
  4. I don't buy that. What I saw was a normal deployment sequence of a round canopy. They don't snivel like a square but they often "squid" a 50 feet HIGHER he may have had worse injuries and 50 feet lower and he might not have made it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. In the US there is no helmet requirement for a Tandem Instructor or Student. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. you and your friend should read this http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=1d089562c3f900e6a127ebd828de2a76&rgn=div5&view=text&node=14:2.0.1.3.17&idno=14 ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. Ok, how about one for those douche bags that scream too loudly about what they are entitled to, or the bat shit crazies that want sumthin' fer nuthin'..... I'll start. http://www.azdailysun.com/articles/2009/02/20/news/opinion/20090220_opini_191224.txt Ok everyone, lets all say it together...... "GO get BENT!" ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. Sounds like things are working well, or did you want to be patted down, strip searched or more? This ain't the TSA, and we don't need our hands held when we put on our big boy pants and go to the DZ. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. I gave up on that sort of media source when I was about 15 for "news". Try the paper. And I don't mean the Sun, though page 3 is nice. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. Be part of the solution or quit. Your post has the tone that you're entitled to things that you need to do for yourself and you're expecting others to be giving you something. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. The call it an "idiot box" for a reason, and it does have a switch. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. Peace upon you. Thank you for the glimpse of such a bright life. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. Exactly the words I was thinking of. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. Actually from my experiences shoes generally make it through the turn vanes of most of the recirculating tunnels and then through the fans. If the RAT doors are open (outside air source) then pieces can end up on the roof, and sometimes they stop in the basement, but be ready for junk to come back through the chamber. Orlando and Perris seem to stop the shoes most of the time, and I don't know about AZ. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. +1 Look at their accident rates..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. The drunks were going to organize a protest rally but they need to stock up on cheap PBR first. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. I'd agree with you if the people receiving the benefits have some sort of option available to them other than the banks, but many don't. They have been promised these benefits by the state, paid their own money into them without choice, and now are not being given the opportunity to collect them in the governments own legal form of payment. Bullshit. Borderline illegal. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. As my father said while I was growing up and continues to say to me "Cash is king." ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Wow. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  20. So I should open a DZ in Wyoming? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  21. Ok, so you don't have a problem with one of your 'bros' tappin it out while you're with her - no problem, then. Who am I to say she can't. If that what she wants. Dose that mean that I'm still going to be there when she is done? Hell no. I'll be havin a beer with my bro on the lookout for the next chapter. Yeah, I remember being 16 too.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. http://www.thetoy.co.uk/ Manufactured by a former Skydiving Audible Altimeter manufacturer.
  23. So Canadian women are easy then, eh? (Ducking for cover) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  24. No it's not. You're getting less than maximum braking far BEFORE the rear leaves the ground. Maximum braking happens when both tires have the optimum balance of "patch" in contact with the ground. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  25. Holy resurrected thread Batman! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
