ACMESkydiver 0 #1 March 10, 2006 Holy shnikeys...I was in -48 degrees fahrenheit for 60 seconds on Saturday! No wonder everything HURT SO BAD!!!! Check it out, new and improved: http://www.bragg.army.mil/www-wx/wxcalc.htm You'll need to convert your fall rate from MPH to Knots, but that conversion is right on the page, too. So is converting celsius to fahrenheit, if you know your temps aloft in celsius. Pretty cool. No wonder I was freaking frozen. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just think you threw caution to the wind and just were being a risk taker...... What kind of example are you trying to be...... Scott C."He who Hesitates Shall Inherit the Earth!"

lowpole 1 #7 March 11, 2006 I had this ongoing arguement with a jump pilot, he said after a certain point the wind chill and temp. aloft becomes mute. After many beers and a few years I gave up on the arguing. Equations suck after 12 beers or so.Darwin's Watching! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the wind ever does become mute; it's pretty loud. It may become a moot point, however...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
