hcsvader 1 #3 June 21, 2010 Blue Sky, Black Death... Skydiving slang. It means you should enjoy the blue sky around you but don't forget the black earth below. It is generally used by skydivers in place of "RIP" for those fellow skydivers that have passed on.Have you seen my pants? it"s a rough life, Livin' the dream >:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
