Well over 200 people have died over the 100+ years at that place. That is as Dangerous as it gets in motorsport racing. Hard to believe they still allow it and still allow spectators so close. Impressive Video. I wonder how many laps in takes someone new to the course to get up to speed. This track makes Nürburgring look easy. Thanks for the link. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Oh my god I am getting a headache. I need to get off my head again!!!! I hate the way my stomach feels on roller coasters and when cowboy pilots putting passengers in a less than 1g environment zigzagging through supposed holes in the clouds. OPEN THE DOOR! Let me out before i get sick! I have never ever felt this though with the pure positive g's jumping from anything, including Helicopters and fixed objects. This thread is bizarre to me. And I mean no disrespect That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

You can always fry some up in a pan before you stuff and then it allows you to adjust. Some have good luck with this but it tastes a lot different though than how it finishes after stuffing and smoking. Some may be better at judging the finished product than others by doing this. It usually tastes even more salty in the pan to me and I have never made major adjustments by doing this. Keeping notes is a great practice. Also the smoking meat "bible" is by Rytek Kutas and has tons of recipes including linguica. Lots of good info in general and has been updated through the years. I would recommend a different smoker if you plan on smoking much sausage however. You really should be smoking at lower temps and that type smoker is more for ribs and pork butt type temps. It doesn't have to cost much and will make it soooo much easier. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

When I was "young" I loved 2k cloud ceiling days max so I could play with landings. My first jump was a H&P from 3.5 and us static liners have a different view than the new kids. Now I don't have any desire to take a loaded x braced out below 2 but before I knew better I was door diving from a Cessna on a ST107 at the hard deck. Foolish 100 jump wonder stuff though.

Here is some sticks to share. Eating Summer Sausage now. Hungry for Andouille though. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

As long as its good smoke(TBS) and not stale I love heavy smoke. I smoke pretty long on most things but do very the wood and use milder stuff depending. Course grind? Of course you should know that THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS! edit. I either missed the attachment or you added after. Happy smoking That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I like it.. The blond joke above that is That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I borrowed a ST120 and bought an ST107 at under 200 jumps. I only say this as this thread is not about progression and about openings and as I didn't have the most experience to fly it through the openings I find it relevant. Even so I never had an issue with the openings on that 107 and I jumped it for almost two years. All my issues with openings came after I moved on to more high performance wings. That said there are people that have responded to this thread with way more experience on that airfoil than I have and indicated it was not perfect for opening. For me though it served my needs at the time well and and I can't even describe it's openings at this point it has been so long. That lack of description though speaks for the fact that I had no issues with it. I owned a 120 in a rig that I traded for just to sell and did put some jumps on it that was wonderful opening. I do recall being amazed at how it opened to maybe my 107 wasn't without faults? I sold it to a buddy and when he moved on bought it back for my Future ex wife. She loved it. Bit more than she needed but opened and landed better for her than the old Air Time Designs canopy she was jumping. Of all the canopies I jumped that racked my nerves on opening though, the Stiletto was not on the list. Worst was a vx74 that I borrowed for a(THE) boogie. Or a Sabre when it was in a bad mood That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I have spent a fair amount of time upside down on earth and never had many issues with blood going to my head. I used to walk down hill on my hands for a challenge all the time and have walked around on the flat for exercise upside down for most my life although most those days are over. Certainly for longer than a simple skydive. I even in attempt to prove I was sober enough to stay out many years ago, showed it by walking down a steep set of stairs from the deck of the bar to the parking lot(girlfriend held ice on my eye and head later as I was "sleeping". I didn't pass the test. S&TA's got me messed up as punishment for swooping stunts I pulled when I thought no one was looking) Anyway. Point is that I am not effected by the time of a skydive to be upside down on earth. Now standing on head? That is not comfortable. I only spent seconds in a head stand and then pushed to a handstand. Or go into one briefly the other way around. I had a major dislocation to shoulder thought 6 months ago so those days are probably over. How many people are really on their head in that room next to the tunnel That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Huh? Dude. That is a big NO. If it was zero gravity why do we need parachutes? Why do we pull such a high g load on opening following a 1g freefall. Zero Gravity? What is that? Where is that? Where can one find Zero Gravity?(far far far away) What is the gravitational pull on the Shuttle in orbit? It is less than on earth but not by much(10%) Sure the astronauts inside feel a micro g environment but anyhoo. You have three posts and so if three people tell you NO, don't get so offended.

I never new where that came from until just now! And I hear it all the time. Sweet Brown. Interesting. Good for her That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Funny...pretty close to what my resident pilot was speculating a few days ago. The 45,000' thing is odd in that the operating ceiling is 43,000 according to the manual I have here. I'm told anything even near THAT puts you on the ragged edge of a stall...and hand flying it would be ugly up there. "Service Ceiling" is the term the 43k would usually refer to. That higher the altitude is, the closer the aircraft gets to what is known as Cofffin Corner. It is not just that the altitude is so high that it will want to stall or one could simply increase airspeed. It is that the window between minimum airspeed and critical mach narrow until they are very close or intersect which IS Coffin Corner. Flying above the "service ceiling" gets closer to that point That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Since your into old triumphs I have to give you a bit of a tease. I have an old customer that used to be a Moto Guzzi dealer and has the entire line up plus a couple Triumphs on his floor still from the 70's. He wont sell just one and has a huge inventory of parts to go with it. NIB parts from that era. I have not looked into it for a couple years to be sure it is still there but basically last I talked the kids were waiting for the old man to pass on to get rid off the stuff. Completely different business there that is manufacturing with little customer walk in and the stuff is just sitting there. Needs new rubber. Tires, hoses, fuel lines, ect. But these have no miles on them. Sitting in the same line as the were 40 years ago when he put them on display. Good luck btw!

Thanks. I've had such a good run with my CR-V I was hoping the scooters were just as reliable. Having raced very competitively for much of my life I can certainly attest to Honda Quality. But I would not go so far as to apply it to scooters based on name. Plenty of decent stuff out there. Some junk from China that has no support but some good stuff out of Korea and of course Japan. I don't know if Honda even makes their small scooters. In racing I loved the clutches, transmissions, and brake feel of the Honda product, none of which applies to a simple scooter. In touring bikes the Harley Ultra kills the Goldwing so judging by names is not all that simple. Stay away from anything that you can not get support or parts.(lots of china stuff-not all) That said I doubt Honda puts there name on anything junk if you are name loyal. I am a big fan of Yamaha as well but have raced them all and were talking about a scooter here. Find one that you think is cute and fits you well, make sure it has support if it is not a big name, and maybe do a quick search to make sure it has no glaring faults, but even take that with a grain of salt on the internet. But my scooter will always go faster than yours That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Not for us Cub fans... Well thankfully there is "always next year". That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I am so confused?? Plan on sliding out some downwinders in strong winds? Crash pants for a canopy class at under 100 jumps? What the hell are you going to be learning? Tough and durable? Sorry, like I said I am just confused. btw....Whatever happened to Chicks Dig Scars? That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I didn't take anything about front riser input out of what he said. Just that proper low turns save lives. When I met my wife I saw her canopy skills were horrid even though she didn't think so nor anyone else. She just never turned below a certain altitude. Then we landed off together and I swooped across someones yard driveway on the close side of the field to that airport as I watched her fly straight to the other side of the field as I felt like I was watching my 8 iron approach shot after coming cleaner than expected out of the rough. "GET DOWN!" "GET Down!" And it/she did but she finally understood why I WANTED her to practice low turns. I think that is what he meant That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I'm in full agreement with this statement. Best- Richard Somehow this just reminded me of a full load in a king air when I asked WTF from behind the pilot seat moments before a level 7 AFF jumped out in a climb to altitude as we passed over above clouds at 7k. I called it and was actually blamed for jinxing him!?! Hit the horizontal stabilizer hard, broke ribs and had malfunction(above the clouds in questionable winds). Reason I thought of it as we had to land HEAVY in that rig crosswind with the damaged tail. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Would you agree the planes are far heavier when they take off as opposed to when they land? These planes were designed to take off and land with fuel on board. I'm more than certain the air frame and hydraulic landing gear can stand the stress. It has been handling the stress for years, in fact it works so well they incorporated it in their other ER models. Best- Richard I agree. Boeing list the maximum takeoff weight 120,000 lbs higher than for landing on that model. Some like the 757 are the same. But most can haul much more up than they can land with. Strap a shuttle on top and see how much fuel they allow to land. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

That's more of a return-to-departure-airport-shortly-after-takeoff issue than a normal landing issue and usually only for max range flights and even then only for some, not all, aircraft. By the time most aircraft have crossed an ocean, they are well below maximum landing weight. ;) Yes not all aircraft but this is not a 757. My point was simply there is more reasons to not fill tanks than one. Not worth arguing over. We agree the tanks would not be full unless foul play started on the tarmac. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

That aircraft has well over three times that much range capabilities. This was a relatively short flight for that aircraft. Now.... I am not making a comment on how much fuel it actually had. More what it was SUPPOSED to have. btw. A full tank is 300,000 lbs or so. Maximum landing weight is 460,000 That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I can tell you it was probably loaded with enough fuel to make it's destination, fly to a pre-declared alternate, plus 45 minutes. It is probably not loaded with more than a small variance from that. Almost certainly not fuel for max range. Fuel is heavy. Carrying more than required by law is wasteful. Airlines run on thin margins and do everything they can to save a buck. And they have to land safely and without structural damage to aircraft. That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

I can tell you from experience it was prolly loaded to the gills. They always fill the tanks on an E.R. type plane b/c it flys over large bodies of water for hours on end, and due to wx changing minute by minute and factoring in a "safety margin" I just bet they were full. I've flown O-Hare to London's Heathrow before, these people have designated take-off and landing hrs, sometimes we flew around in circles w/ other jets just to kill time before we were allowed to land, too much noise or some such is the explanation I was given No. They don't fill the tanks for a safety margin. They don't land full of passengers and the tanks half full of fuel on most planes including this one. If you flew to Heathrow and had to circle I would say that chances are much higher it was to burn fuel than for noise. Caught a good tail wind. You might me surprised on shorter Domestic flights just how tight they run on fuel That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.

Here you go Quade. Edit to add: I just noticed the track and attached this. I didn't notice how far north they show the India and the island in this angle. I thought the one track looked farmilar That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.
