I think there is one currently at the Camarillo CA airport for repairs. It had an issue near Bridgeport (???) on the 395 and landed on the HWY. They took up a truck n trailer, took the wings off and are prepping for repairs. It did NOT crash

not going to read this entire thread. Will just say that I was a "dedicated" NPR listener / member for many years. Not so much any more. It's not so much their politics and mine have diverged, it's more what I call the all black, all gay, all day programming (yes, that's hyperbole, but makes my point). It's rare for me to hear an interesting piece on NPR anymore that isn't pure breaking news. i'm a 65 year old trump despising WASP and I obviously am not their target audience. so be it, I've found many interesting podcasts.

Hi Matt and others following this thread. The closest I got to Visions / Coors was occasionally sharing the DC3 with them. (and buying a Dactyl from Ken Crabtree, nice step up from my Hank Ascuitto (sp?) round) They were professional, efficient, friendly. Al was certainly the "face" of the team to my knowledge, but I don't know who the leader was, when.

It did not work out so well for the locals once they experienced nightfall for the first time

emergency handles? Best practice IMO = Loop for cutaway, D ring for reserve - belly fly and WS, though I do use a soft cutaway handle for CReW

primary changes since 2000? Automatic activation devices are mostly mandated and are socially acceptable (i have one). Canopy flight mode training has stopped many people (not all) from killing themselves

Which is the most popular harness/container system for fun jumpers?

LOL so obtuse. I never mentioned bias. It's all part of the learning process. One either puts their time into learning so that they can make intelligent decisions, or they follow the masses and take their chances. -

Ask your rigger to describe their thoughts on +/- of various systems. If you don't have a "relationship" with a rigger, I advise you to initiate one. It will pay dividends over your time in the sport. -
I do know it means 2 valve / cylinder heads, but don't know all the details of the "euro spec) engine. Enjoy your shark

i'm an older hotrodder and "do not scoff at the idea that software could make a car faster." The performance improvements kinda fall onto two sides of the razor 1) Hardware only for those cars that were carbueurated and had no control SW. 2) SW tunes for all else (and to take advantage of HW improvements) I do know how to utilize SW tunes to improve performance. I pay a SME to write a new file that I apply !

I'd like to know more about this as I was recently wondering how well all the Teslas lived in Norway, a county known for serious weather AND a boatload of ecars
