I jump a 8x12 nylon flag it works great, looks good when it flies, and it was relatively cheap. I carry it in a belly mount hooked to my leg straps and harness. I had the flag rigged by an experienced demo jumper. The flag container is the bottom half of an old sweethog container. The only problem was finding the correct weight to use for the flag to fly properly. This size is good for the "casual" part-time demo jumper. I realize there is no such thing as a casual demo, but I hope you get what I mean. As far as canopies go, for demo's, the bigger the better. I jump a 290 StartracII when I do any flag demos, no matter what size the landing area. Without the flag I've jumped my Triathlon 190, but only into very open landing areas. It's my flag in the picture, but not me flying it, ( iwas kidnapped by Uncle Sam just prior to this demo). "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

ah yes........I (me) the techophob ....www.sleepyfloydlearns!!!!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

And they wonder why some of my (professional) peers arrest base jumpers. I usually arrest people solely based on the stupidity factor, these yahoos certainly qualify. Personally, I believe in the gene pool cleansing itself....really, this kind of stupid shit gives ALL base jumpers a bad name. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

What a sissy, he's flying in half brakes, I'm not afraid to fly my 190 in full flight!!!!!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

I think it's stuck!!! Somebody help her for cryin' out loud...............ME!!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

I'm back to chasin' bad guys, my trip to the sand was cancelled in early March. Been doin' other stuff stateside until last week, now it's back to drunks and tickets. Can't figure out which one is better. Here's a cool site dedicated to all our recent missions. It's really cool if you're pro military, or maybe even if you're not. I don't know how to make it clicky so any help is appriecated. Later, SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! USAF AMMO, IYAAYAS!!!! www.grouchymedia.com "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Well looks like i might miss another jump season. I just got mobilized to a classified location (i know it is warm and sandy). What really sucks is i just found out last Monday we are expecting in Oct. but duty calls. Take care and may God Bless America! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Are you setting up the infamous "Tandem Defense" ? "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

1943 C-47 TICO Bell. This plane actually dropped paratroopers on D-Day and Operation Market Garden. It was also one of the DC-3/C-47 in the movie Dropzone. Also a 1923 (i think) Stearman Bi-plane. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

My first canopy was a 220 bruise-lite! I weigh 210 out the door, the only word i can think of...THUMP!!! But I'm still here! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

It was the Richmond boogie, not sure of the year. i know the guy who took the video, he got some flak because he sold the footage. Paul fayard was flying the plane and pulled it out from an upside down flatspin! If you've jumped a CASA you'll see the "No Hanging" and "No more than this # of jumpers past this point" Now you know why! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Sorry fellas, I prefer the Glock. Sig's are great guns but, just point and shoot the Glock. No de-cock or external safety to worry about. A Glock 19 with Cor-Bon 9mm 113 grain 1300 fps ammo is a great home defense weapon. I carry one every day. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Ha! Maybe next time you'll know! It's much safer to watch TV than read while driving..................DUMBASS "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Yep, I've been stopped a couple of times on the way to the dz in the last 9 yrs. As the old commercial said, "Membership has it's privileges". "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Can you guys take Air Force IMA's? "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Yea, What he said!!! Very nice, I wish I had the time to type all that! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Argghhhh...............LMAO............... Nothing like a little humor mixed with high explosive!!! I.Y.A.A.Y.A.S!!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

The last paragraph sums it up! ( I am too stupid to figure out how to quote on here though). Blame America and name call. Truely a grasp of facts! In this forum I prefer sarcasm and inference, not as much typing required! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Thanks for making my point! WTF does the NRA have to do with any of the stuff covered in this thread? Classic "bait and switch" so to speak. I do support the president at this point in time BUT, only after taking many things into consideration, doing my homework, and looking at historical facts. Not just bitching for the sake of bitching and basing my views on emotion. IMHO Blue Skies "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

If you try to explain, you're called stupid. It's the typical "I can shout you down" debate style. I prefer sarcasm because it's much more fun! Everytime I try to debate someone with these views the facts really don't matter. The situation will be twisted and the mind shut to any other point of view. The moral equivalent run wild! This is very complex, and not nearly as simple as this article would like it to be. As far as swamp land in Florida, I really wish I had some!! With the weather here the way it is, at least I'd be warm!!! Blue Skies! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Hard to argue this logic? Hard to understand? Hmm.........if you think this is logic, I'd love to sell ya some swamp land in Florida! This stuff reminds me of the "See Spot Run" books I love so much! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Uhhh.............umm..........I'm feeling a little excluded. I've never had sex at the dz But i did wake up once with an EMHO in my tent! (mine thankfully) "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Another well articulated point from our friends on the left. One suggestion, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND LET THE GROWN-UPS LEAD!!!! There is a poster on the front page of this website, www.usafammo.com (non-clicky) not logic, just fun! that sums it all up! Peace Out! Jim "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

Gee..............what a surprise........ "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

It's hard to reach the delete key in freefall!!! "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"
