I am new also. I agree with reading "The Skydiver's Handbook", by Dan Poynter. It's a must read for all new skydivers. Lots of great info and scary pictures. (Like the skydiver taking out the side of the Cessna when his main deployed in the airplane and got pulled thru airframe). It shows the serious side of the sport and the safety issues. Good Luck Steve

Congrats HH! Don't forget your laptop.

How about "FLARE" Here Flare. Saw a movie (think it was Cutaway) with a 3 legged dog called "Tripod"

Yes, 6 years in the Army National Guard during the 60's and Vietnam era. (Wasn't a Cool time to be in any service)

Maybe the ADC is a skydiver and wanted to Jump a Tomcat DOOR! Thats one time you CAN deploy the Canopy before jumping
-
I second that. I'm Alive today because of a Marine. He was my TM and did a great job.

Nah, Those are the new hi-tech see-thru Lens Caps that prevents sun from reflecting off the glass. hehe

"Try here. You'll need to plug in the city that you want the weather for, and go to that page. on the 2nd page, left side, you'll see the gizmo you're looking for. There are others out there on different weather sites, this is just the one I like and use... " The link didn't work for me. Try http://www.wunderground.com/ I have this on my Homepage and it works good. Steve

"talking to an engineer after a jump: q: how was the jump? a: dunno, i'll have to check the telemetry!" LOL... That was a great HALO jump, now how do i turn off this suit heater?...

Does that mean we have to wipe up the middle east?

"My! But isn't he just festooned with fancy doodads?" Hmmmmm, Wonder what doodad engages the Anti-gravity Field? "Black boxes for Skydivers"

Think its defective. Only goes to Hop-n-Pop altitude.

Actually, these guys are getting some good data on G-Force during openings with different mains. Looks like 2-4 G's. http://www.pcprg.com/prginst.htm "Where's the hackey??" Steve

Definitely an "Engineers" Rig. Glad Student rigs aren't this complicated. You can add your own Caption, but (NO Prizes) Steve

"Yeah! Wrongs just suck! So, like, if two Wrights make a plane, what would come out of three? Must be really something else... " Like this??

Wonder if he had S/L of AFF instruction?

Thanks for the free T!... Since everyone on the list were in the FIRST 500 entered, do we ALL owe beer?

"gosh, maybe they should have Florida recount the votes..." Powell said they didn't have a problem with "hanging chads", Just a problem with hangings
-
"As far as closing the door, my money is on the gremlins too. " THANKS everyone for the replies. Guess there are different options for closing the door. Like the "Slipping the aircraft". Cool
-
Curious, Who closes the door of a cessna after the jumpers leave? Don't think the pilot can reach it. Know that when I jumped there was only the pilot left. Do they leave it open? Steve
-
"If these become affordable would you consider buying one?" I'm waiting for the next model with the "Z axis" option which allows transportation to 10,000 feet. Steve

It was on the last 5-10 minutes.

Thanks for the tip. Hard to believe that guy flew thru that other canopy and didn't see it in time to avoid! Steve
