3331 108 #51 August 13, 2008 I know Jim Hooper. I jumped with Jim Hooper. Jim Hooper is a friend of mine. I was a guest at his first wedding. After their divorce I hit on his ex, (never scored). Jim Hooper is a 5 time published (non fiction) author. Your no Jim Hooper. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niki1 1 #54 August 13, 2008 QuoteWe must get this thread back on subject and start bashing the DB Cooper nonsense posters. So many experts, so little knowledge or experience. The radio program Car Talk made an interesting supposition the other day. If 2 people discuss a subject about which BOTH know VERY LITTLE, is it possible for their total knowledge to be less than either of them? I think that other thread about He Who Must Not Be Named is proof that it is.Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

And there were so few rules, I think about 10. They would point to his list of rules by the manifest in front of him and say something like "I don't care what your rules are, if I'm low I'm pulling". Now for a DZ with lots of rules go to Connecticut Parachutists Inc. in Ellington Connecticut.
