piisfish 135 #82 December 18, 2004 Oh yeah, I heard of GWB once or twice on the news, but that would belong to speakers corner... I didn't know he was a skydiver. Heard of his daddy doing a couple of jumps though...

Maybe a student skydiver but imo not a skydiver. No politic's involved just the facts. imo a couple of AFF jumps doesn't make someone a skydiver. But that's just me. The goldens knights that jumped with him are the skydivers. If GW the press and anyone else wants to call him a skydiver thats OK GW Most famouse person to make a jump?

airtwardo 6 #88 December 20, 2004 Quote I had the same question. To me a skydiver has a minimum of 1 jump and landing with a solo rig. Quote Then I would say ~ George Sr. most definitely qualifies! Did we forget that back in WWII he bailed out of a shot up fighter bomber and spent the day floating in the Pacific... waiting for 'ye ole Bubble Heads' to offer a ride? Qualified in fact for a Caterpillar award... Cut the old dude some slack... he DID try to do a couple AFF's on this last go around...but because of the high winds, the GK jumpmasters though it wise to stick to a couple Tandems instead...

If he wanted to jump, should he have to wait till the end of his Presidency, or would he be allowed to jump as a POTUS ??

Travman 6 #93 December 23, 2004 Quote How many jumps does it take to be a "Skydiver" 2, 5, 20 or 100? "How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?" "7!" "No dad... its a rhetorical question" "Rhetorical ehh....8!" Seriously I don't think its a simple number, more a case of frequency. Again you can't say George Bush is a skydiver, but he has skydived. However he was a skydiver for a brief period, from the time he left the plane to the time he touched down he was a skydiver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think being a skydiver is kind of like the Marines, you never 'retire'...! They can't take it away from you.

op5e 0 #97 December 27, 2004 QuoteHow many jumps does it take to be a "Skydiver" 2, 5, 20 or 100? I personally think that someone is a "skydiver" if they have control of their body in the sky. I normally think of people who have a B license but more towards a C license, are about at the stage where I think of them as a skydiver. I only have 27 jumps and I think I am someone who skydives. I think that tandems and AFF students are people who have skydived until they make it a regular thing. Of course this is only my opinion, and like anything on this forum, everyone has their own opinion on this and I respect others may think one jump wonders are skydivers.
