I didn't want to offend the international community that might perceive it as an arrogant display of pride by an ugly American.

Lol, sorry dude, that just doesn't work here. There is no reason at all except for partisan bias that you won't admit that this guy simply made a slip of the tongue and your whole thread is an overreaction. Allow me to contrast two recent events: Democrat says Trans-female instead of trans-male - Turtle starts a thread to call him an idiot and won't accept any other explanation. Trump says there were airports in the revolutionary war - Turtle says he may be inarticulate but people don't give him enough credit for how smart he is. Question - does Turtle treat left and right differently?

The problem is that Trump will see this as a victory. The UK Ambassador got ‘fired’ because of what Trump said... You just know that’s how he thinks this went down so he’ll do the same next time.

I would add that sometimes it's not the person who does something stupid who gets hurt. I've had two good friends killed by other skydivers "just having fun." And in both cases it wasn't something new - these are people that had been talked to several times about the same problem that led to them killing other skydivers, and always answered along the lines of "geez, no one got hurt, what the fuck is your problem?"

Same thing on iPhone today. Clickjacking via malicious Javascript. You can disable it by disabling Javascript, but that cure is almost as bad as the problem. since the site uses a lot of legitimate Javascript. Bikeforums.net went through this crap a year ago, and finally stamped it out. The problem is that websites often use ad-brokers, and the ad-brokers don't even know the trash is being slipped in.

Big difference between ideal, and manageable, and in my opinion ideal depends on where you are in your skydiving progression. Shorter stocky people will often have a much easier time with their student jumps. They have less rudder to deal with at a time where it could be described as uncontrolled or minimally controlled rudder. For example my easiest tandem students are short guys with a beer belly. They have a built in arch, I could sleep on the way down. Your tall lanky student has more control surface, less built in arch, and problems with body position with their legs and arms have a bigger impact on their stability. As you get your license and move on to group skydiving the lanky ones have more tools in the toolbox in terms of fall rate and body flight, but the right jump suit choices for can narrow the gap for stocky people. All that being said your body type won't be a problem at all.

We called it an ADVON when I was in the military. This was an advance party going to do a recon of the area and what was about to take place....but hey, maybe they do things different nowadays. Additionally, Nixon's brother was in the Seattle around the time of the hijacking. My point is, why were these people in this area around the time of the hijacking. More importantly, why didn't anyone ever question any of these people. Tough crowd.

No.

I jumped at Mesquite a few years ago. Very nice dz. Great plane, good peeps

Heard good things about https://www.skydivemesquite.com. Never been there. Too far?

Only place for you to fun jump is Fyrosity. SDLV and Extreme last time I checked are tandem only

Your argument reminded me of this.

Yeah, when the sheep start running for cover, it's definitely time for some serious Emergency Procedures. Kevin _____________________________________ Dude, you are so awesome... Can I be on your ash jump ?
