kallend 1,623 #8 October 12, 2011 Quote here's one specificly for kallend.. Jump more...theorize about your incorrect application of physics less... You haven't actually proved me to be incorrect, just thrown a few insults about my flying and patted yourself and Butters on the back about yours. And how will spending $thousands on unnecessary suits enable me to jump more? Do you have an interest in suit sales, by any chance?...

mccordia 73 #9 October 12, 2011 Do you always accuse anyone discussing boeing 747 vs small aerobatics plane aerodynamics of trying to sell you two airplanes?? For a professor, you're very keen on resorting to other subjects and cheap one liners (same in multiple threads) when your theories dont hold up...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?
