  1. We reregistered one of our 206s with the call sign ZK-EEE. It amused the guys in the tower when the jockey called up on jump run.
  2. Interestingly it appears that some of the people appealing to the Don for a pardon are sitting members of congress or the house. And Trump has been talked out of pardons for them and his family. I wonder who they could be, and why would they be asking? Seems like a few rocks are going to be turned over in the coming days and weeks to see whats beneath them.
  3. Agreed. I would bet she's got dirt on him. He won't want her spilling her guts in a court room.
  4. I thought of that, but was being polite. There are sensitive souls on this site, doncha know!!! And I don't think the cows would be keen to waste their piss on him anyway.
  5. Got to be illegal. Fundraising on federal property is a no no, is it not? 100 x 2 Mil comes to 200 Mil. Thats a good grift. As for the pardons, Kyle Rittenhouse anyone?
  6. Hopefully when he lands in Florida, the crew of Air Force One tell him to f*** off and toss his bags out on to the tarmac. And a 21 gun salute with water pistols would be appropriate as he leaves Andrews.
  7. Have you sent Trump all your money to fight the election fraud yet? If not, Why not?
  8. Hopefully the FBI offer him immunity for his co operation. He knows where the bodies are buried. His only problem is his credibility is shot.
  9. Talk about taking names....I'm sure the FBI are taking names. Those congress members were spouting insurrection. They need to be held accountable. Impeach them as well, for violating their oaths to the constitution.
  10. Ron must be congratulated for the accurate prediction of the thread title. History was made. And will probably remain unique for millenia to come. 2 Impeachments. The most winningest president in history.
  11. And Trump is refusing to pay Rudy for his lawyering work. Delicious. Mind you, its not like Rudy actually won any cases for him. Classic Trump. But Rudy knows where all the bodies are buried. He has a credibility problem however.
  12. Classic whataboutery. But but but...Look over there!!! Wahhhhh!
  13. Cunning plan by the FBI. So cunning, you could pin a tail on it, and call it a weasel.
  14. One sunny day in late January 2021, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump." The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here." The old man said, "Okay", and walked away. The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump." The Marine repeated, "Sir, as I told you yesterday, Mr Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here." The man thanked him and, again, just walked away. The third day, the old man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U.S. Marine, saying again, "I would like to go in and meet with President Trump." The Marine, understandably irritated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you've been here asking to speak to Trump. I've told you each time that he's no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don't you get it?" The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it !" The Marine snapped to attention and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir."“ Top
  15. Trump: "I want to see Biden in prison"! Biden: "Why does Trump think I would visit him in prison"?
  16. Unless someone has hidden his crayons...
  17. "Among those Trump pardoned was a Blackwater contractor sentenced to life in prison for his role in killing 17 Iraqi civilians, including two women and two boys ages 8 and 11." The best people!!!
  18. I trained thousands of SL students. When Tandem came along we thought SL would dry up, and it was interesting to compare the reactions between the SL jumpers and the Tandem ones. Of course the tandems had experienced freefall, but the SL students seemed to be prouder of their jumps because they had done it themselves, alone. And the Tandem students actually appeared to be a bit jealous of that. As for progressing to FF, I had many SL students do 25 jumps and achieve their A licence within a week, when the weather co operated. I once trained a group of 70, weekday evenings, in split classes, which we got out the door on one weekend. That was just 2 of us, doing the whole job, including packing. How long would it take to train that many to do AFF? And yes, a lot only ever did the one jump, but at one stage, the NZPF secretary told me I had produced 25% of all A licence holders in the country. A lot of those students went on to become Jumpmasters, Instructors and Tandem masters. At least 5 operations were started by ex students of mine. The most difficult part was drinking all the beer those students fronted up, with post jump.
  19. Static line. Cheaper, simpler, safer, staged progression in logical steps (learn how to fly and land the canopy before progressing to FF) develops more confident students, not subject to so many holds due to cloud base issues, able to train larger groups.
