chuteless 1 #26 February 26, 2004 There really arent too many impurities, but a lot of moisture. Now if it was something like PCBs I wouldnt touch it, but Ive used industrial grade for many junmps, and havent had a problem with it. I'd be more concerned about too much moisture, but in the warm aircraft, freezing is unlikely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damion75 0 #30 February 29, 2004 I don't know if it was normal, but my guys and I were doing 3-way from 21k in Eloy and found it much harder to move fast between points than normal at the top end - less air pressure? Also we were not able to whistle in the plane above about 17k...! Just out of curiosity! *************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.
