  1. A MARD is a backup device. People changing their emergency procedures to rely on their MARD working are being foolish, IMHO. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  2. Somebody mentioned the issue of mis-rigging as being a point in the Skyhook's favor (mostly because of greater rigger familiarity). I honestly think the Boost is harder to mis-rig than the Skyhook. It is pretty simple and straight forward. I can see a lot more ways to potentially mis-rig a Skyhook. Of course there has been a lot of talk for a long time about the potential and there is not a huge long list of accidents from mis-rigging, so maybe it is more a theoretical danger than something that actual occurs all that frequently. I'm sure it happens and will happen with any system. Curious to hear other riggers thoughts about whether the Skyhook or Boost has more potential for rigging error?

  3. I agree completely with this. Somehow we have to get out of treating politicians (any politicians, this is not a partisan issue) as some sort of royalty with associated privileges and exceptional treatment. It is harmful to our democracy, as well as our economy. I spent a day two summers ago on the ground because one of the guys running for president (I don't remember which one and it is irrelevant anyway) was giving a speech and there was a TFR for the area. I should have been spending my money and keeping businesses employed and profitable. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  4. I like an English accent on a lady. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  5. The Benny has room for an audible on each side. It is not a problem to hear the audible. I personally like to feel the wind on my face. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

  9. Congratulaions Skymama! "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  10. So I had my daughters take the quiz too. One daughter they placed in arizona and southern california. The others got Yonkers, Springfield, MO, and Pembroke Pines, FL. So none of us were identified with anywhere close to where we had actually lived and there was no overlap between the three of us. Not sure what that means except I guess we do not have a very distinctive way of speaking. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  11. Not accurate for me. Gave me Colorado Springs, Irving, TX, and one other places I can't remember. My folks are from Philly, I grew up in the mid-atlantic and have lived in the midwest, mid-atlantic, and south. Never TX or the SW. I seem to be an exception, though. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  12. Please explain how? "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  13. I can't figure out why anybody care what this guy thinks "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  14. There was a question earlier about whether putting the ripcord through a special housing would increase the pull force on a manual activation. I hope that doesn't get glossed over. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    Damn Skippy!!! Didn't you date her once? "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  16. Seems like an appropriate thread to ask: Q: Why wasn't Jesus born in West Virginia? A: Couldn't find three wise men or a virgin. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  17. Go spend some time at a C182 DZ. You will learn a thing or two about spotting there. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

    She's been all over the sex related threads lately... Boredom. "Beige, I think I'll paint the ceiling beige" "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  20. Ahhh.... hope you're healing well! No one can resist giving an injured man a ride to a local bar. You'll get there!!! Thanks, I'm sure I can find a ride but I haven't bought my ticket until I have that lined up for sure. The no driving thing is a drag, though. I will get to start partial weight bearing the first week of January if the X-rays look good. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  21. Going to see a band at a local place. If I can find a ride--no driving yet. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  22. Why? I'm Catholic. I don't believe in any form of pre-marital sexual relations. Not even kissing. Nothing. But it's not what Bill Clinton said . . . its NOT sexual relations. Her throat hurts too much to swallow. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  23. If it changes the pull force on the rip cord then that is a huge issue. I have to pack it for a pull force of less than 22 lbs. If I have to do something difference, like, say use a longer closing loop so that the pull force is within tolerances then that absolutely affects the regular operation of the system. I don't know if the assembly would affect the pull force or not but I am inclined to think ti would. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  24. No, this depends greatly on the drop zone. Some programs are very structured up through the 'A license while others are as you have described. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
  25. in before the move. "What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
