Long ago I got a ride in a TA-4J Skyhawk. Most fun I've ever had in an airplane.... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

Not certain if it has anything at all to do with it, but what was your deployment speed? Didn't you tell me you were wearing a computer on that jump?

Seems to me like John LeBlanc is -exactly- the person you should've bitched to about Sabre openings. Steve "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

You might contact Bob "Feisty" Feisthamel at Skydive Missouri. He has a widebody with the big engine, 3-blade prop, STOL kit, wing extensions, and speed brakes. It goes up, and down, very fast. It's amazing how much more comfortable a 4 inch wider fuselage is. Steve Babin "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

I'd like to purchase a copy. Where did you buy it? Steve "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

Do you think this is real? (ghost story w/ pic)

I tend to be a skeptic. If someone wants me to beleive something, they had better come with proof. Simply because we don't understand something does not make it supernatural, spiritual, or divine.

I'm going along with a group from my home dz... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

Maybe Layton could teach you how to use that camera... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

Yes, in America we have the right to make poor choices... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

Like Skydiving, I'm going with the best odds... Sure you can find an obscure example of a helmet causing a neck injury, or a seatbelt preventing extraction from a burning vehicle, but odds are that these safety devices are a LOT more likely to prevent injury than cause it. I will look at it critically and go with the best odds. If someone chooses not to use these things, I wonder about their decision making skills.... Ask any E.R. Nurse/Doctor if you should wear a helmet......Law or not. Blues, Steve "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

Welcome to the forums! I also live in Springfield. I occasionally jump with Brian & Crew at FFE, although most of my jumping happens at Siloam Springs. Congrats on the "A"!

It seems to me like it might be better to date a very independant whuffo. If a "dating" relationship ends, it could be uncomfortable for both parties at the DZ. If I was single, I would not date other skydivers... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

I opened the shutter for 8 seconds. It was at night, so the image wasn't overexposed. The lightning strikes occured when the shutter was open.

Here is a photo of a storm I took on the night of 5/26 in SW Missouri.(resized to fit here) I like storms... from a distance. Steve Babin "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

Not really. I used to be on a team in Huntsville Al. and would compete three times a week.(1 team and 2 blind draw). I keep my darts in my car and if I find myself in a bar with board, I'll throw, but I'm no longer on a team. BTW it took me 3 years to hit my first t-80.

I used to throw.I had a set of 27 gram Hammerhead GTs. I had 8 ton-80s in competition before I quit. I only rarely throw anymore... Blues, Steve "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon.

Private Pilot Flying Jump Plane?

Ed, The original poster is not using his real name in his profile. I jump in the area and would recognise him if he used his own name. If you read his posts, he obviously has a a score to settle with this DZO and has chosen these forums to launch his anonymous attacks. Until he starts using his real name, I'd take anything he says with a grain of salt.... FWIW, Steve Babin "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."
