This is from Roger's Weekly Update - 12/11 --------------------------------------------------------- N10EA and N220EA are flying in Eloy at the 300-way attempts. Super pilot Chris Schindler reports things are going well with the 100-way practice. Everyone knows there is a big difference between 100 and 300 as the difficulty exponentially increases as the number grows (Hi DD, you know Rogereeze). That said, the organizers are very capable and have a history of success. My very best wishes to you all and I will continue to pray for your safety. Now all this because I wanted to say a few kind words about Chris Schindler. Chris originally came here from Kansas City as a packer. One day I found out he was a pilot and asked him why he didn't tell me. Humbly Chris said, "You needed me to pack and that's where I wanted to help". Of course, the rest of the story is history as I flew with Chris. Instantly I saw his natural abilities and Chris became the main pilot. He fully honored a 2-year commitment and went on to the airlines. Today Chris is in Eloy flying N10EA for the record (along with super pilot Steve Stewart) and I could not be more comfortable with anyone. Chris you are a gem of a pilot and person.

In regards to your son keeping or having the rod removed from his leg... that's entirely his choice. I still have a rod in my leg with no ill effects. My thinking at the time was that I didn't want them to cut me again unnecessarily. (and the option to have it removed was there) Note that ANY surgery is a risk.

The name's been used before but I still like it!

There was an all-woman 10-way team from Deland at the 1977 Nationals called "Snoots Are For Toots". They placed 11 out of 20... The Army team placed 10th.

The short answer is - no. I made my first 13 jumps at Chicago-Hammond Airport in Lansing, IL. When they closed I started jumping at Hinckley Parachute Center (aka Phoenix Skydiving... aka Chicagoland Skydiving) which is my current "home" dropzone. Due to their close proximity I also jump(ed) at Skydive Sandwich, Skydive Illinois in Morris and Skydive Chicago in Ottawa.

- you could try bedroom gymnastics - in regards to belly dancing... I can see you doing that in your "I Dream of Genie" costume.

hot women and hot men - - so *that's* what keeps the bonfire going!

Hinckley Hotties - - a new team name!?

At the risk of starting another firearms thread. . . Didn't know it existed until you pointed it out. I watched it here .... (I don't have cable/satellite TV) I've got an inch to do a BASE jump now!

I can so relate to this. . . http://www.recoilmag.com/news/area_husband_pretends_0702.html it actually made my eyes water from laughing so hard.

There was a time when the FB's were definitely known for being "Safe"!! FB-474 NNFB-105

I already have a gold plated closing pin necklace....NOT! (but you guys are giving me ideas... halloween is coming) and I gotta get me one of those Ludacris bobblehead dolls.

If the slide is locked back (regardless of whether it has an external hammer or not) then isn't it cocked?? Lock & Load

Forgive me if this has been posted before. I'm seeing it for the first time. On the Ludacris website there's a link on the bottom right to "Luda mini TV" where there are two versions of a video showing him doing a tandem jump.
