  1. Freaky things can happen! A month ago my 22 yo son was chasing a Frisbee and came down wrong, heard a pop and had lots of pain. Long story short, he had surgery Thursday to repair his ACL. It was not a tear but completely torn in half. 6 months to total recovery! Ron ATP B-727 B767-757 CFI-II

  3. They went to the gun shop{Guitars and Guns} and interviewed the guy that sold him several of his guns. The guns were all sold to him legally. This interview was on national television. Ron ATP B-727 B767-757 CFI-II
  4. I flew first gen 747-100 for 4.5 years. Such a great aircraft with lots of personality, glad I was able to fly it. Ron ATP B-727 B767-757 CFI-II

  10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kysNulNqfs This is a motorcycle event but just proves the value of having a camera. I guess this guy just didn't like the idea of someone passing him on a double yellow line. Ron ATP B-727 B767-757 CFI-II

    Thanks Brian! This is very informative and well written.
  13. Also known as "possum on the half shell"! Nasty critters that will do a job on your yard. Ron ATP B-727 B767-757 CFI-II

  15. https://vimeo.com/128373915 Really gives some prospective to war history. Ron ATP B-727 B767-757 CFI-II
  16. You can get a pilots license that is daytime only, no night privileges. Seems like the USPA could do the same for someone who has no desire to jump at night. Ron ATP B-727 B767-757 CFI-II
  17. Hi, Way back when I was full time flight instructing, I had a couple of students that were prone to motion sickness. The Med's didn't work too well for them either. They both decided to continue. The more time they spent flying the more at ease they became. Pretty soon neither one of them was bothered with motion sickness any longer. So, maybe with a few jumps his problem would get better. Worth a try! Ron ATP B-727 B767-757 CFI-II
  18. "Psst. The password is IMACUNT" Now that's just too funny!
  19. Very nice ! Just watching the video stirs up the many emotions I have felt being at the DZ. Ron ATP B-727 B767-757 CFI-II

  21. Hey DEG, Looks like we are in the same boat here. I did 5 S/L jumps and a Hop & Pop in 1977, never got back to it. Now I find myself with the bug again at 60 years old and am going after it. I did a Tandem in Sept and have been to the wind tunnel once. Started Yoga classes this week to get a little more limber. I plan to go to the tunnel a couple more times. Then when the spring weather starts, I plan to start AFF.
