Jasmin 0 #1 September 25, 2002 Apologies all round for my tardiness of late. I've used up my internet quota at uni and never seem to be near a ruddy computer anyway! My w/e numbers for the last 2 w/e's are 2:1:0 and this w/e past 2:3:0 I'm playing with radiation detectors and particle accleerators this week....and my boss has been picking up the alcohol tab!!!! Ooh I'll be owing beer this week for my joining my first 4 way team: 4-play!xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

You know, we have one here at Texas A&M, but about the only way to hit it is to use up somewhere over a couple gigs a month to destinations outside of the campus intranet.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Jasmin 0 #4 September 25, 2002 Yeah I'm only in the team for the state meet as I'm obliged to work at the nats for Phil. 152 Jump tickets, t-shirts, bags, jumpsuits, container discounts etc all up for grabs....how could I not? xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

obes 0 #5 September 25, 2002 "152 Jump tickets" I don't know about you Jas, but tickets in a 152 seem hardly worthit Obes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #6 September 25, 2002 Quotebut tickets in a 152 seem hardly worthit Thats a long ride to altitude.....and unless the pilot goes with you, You'll be jumping by yourself. That said...I did put a jumper out of my Dad's 150 once... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obes 0 #7 September 26, 2002 "You'll be jumping by yourself" AWW C'Mon You just need to sacrifice a few luxuries like Door + Cabin trim,Seats and doors(pilot inc), Inst pannel,2nd fuel tank and depending on how good you are the U/Carriage can go as well, then I'm sure you could boost your payload to at least a two way a pilot and carry enough fuel to get you to 1.8K and still have enough left over for a forced landing.

MyUserID 0 #8 September 26, 2002 I didnt even know any universities had limits on computer usage? That seems kinda crazy to me. I dont even think we have a limit on printing. Then again, they do suck us of $15000+ per year to go to school here. ------------------------------------------------------ Remember kids, eagles may soar, but at least weasels dont get sucked into jet engines.

Jasmin 0 #11 October 2, 2002 You'll have to excuse my darling Obes, he's spent 6 weeks as a whuffo (2 to go) and it reallyis starting to show! I meant 152 jump tickets valid for use at Sydney Skydiving Centre (or the nationals) for rides to height in VH-OTA (Twin Otter) or VH-IBO (Skyvan). If you wanted a ride to height in a 152 who knows if they'd exchange thte tickets!?!!!! But if that's what starts going through your head after being a whuffo for a mere 6 weeks as a whuffo I'm very worried....or is it the 16 weeks without me Obes?xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."
