There is no FAA rule/law about minimum skydiving age. Big difference. Arrive Safely John

ONLINE VOTING MOTION PASSED 4088 to 66 (1 abstention) 4106 total proxies submitted. Arrive Safely John

Raising the age to the age of legal majority (18 in most states, but up to 21 in others). Discussion will be whether it stipulates age of legal majority in the state in which the jump is made or the state in which the jumper resides. Robert Feldman and USPA counsel are to confer on this at a later date. Arrive Safely John

Ooop! I meant to stick this to the top, not lock it up. MODERATOR FOUL! Arrive Safely John

Suggestion: all of us have our personal opinions as to what skydiving kit is our favorite. It might help the OP if you elaborated on your answer a bit to qualify your opinion. Why do you prefer one over the others? Arrive Safely John

Was mine clear enough to you? Arrive Safely John

John, You need to lay off the continuous human spell check bullshit. She posts "W/Tunnel" in the wind tunnel forum and you don't understand what she means? I don't think so. You just feel like sharpshooting her because she didn't write it exactly as you would like to read it. Get over yourself. Arrive Safely John

It is also pretty sad when people fire heat rounds without knowing both sides of the story. Moderators have limited permissions. We cannot do anything about the ads except pass the word to the Admin that handles them. Where it goes from there I have no idea. I did exactly that; passed the word and posted reminder(s) that it remains unresolved. Put that in your cannon. Arrive Safely John

I use 25% off retail minus $1/jump or $100/year since DOM (whichever is larger). Others also factor in whether or not the canopy is still manufactured. For reserves, # of packjobs and # of uses is also a major factor. Arrive Safely John

Edited by slotperfect: It appears I was incorrect putting the two profiles together and assuming that one is an alias. While I always do the best I can to piece things together carefully, I was in a bit of a hurry this time in favor of keeping this lady's memory from being further dishonored through a rather off-the-wall discussion. My apologies to Tom Hall and George Loudakis for the mistake. Arrive Safely John

They make a bigger one now called T@DA. Arrive Safely John

Or you could just choose not to participate and move on instead of spewing your negative attitude at the OP. Last time I checked, you don't speak for every skydiver who reads these forums. Judging by all of the responses to the original post, I would say I am not the only user here that holds that opinion. Arrive Safely John

From Raeford Parachute Center, Tandem Students get: -A certificate signed by the School Owner and their Tandem Instructor -A DZ bumper sticker -Info on how to learn to skydive (brochure, price list, business card) Value: I know they like the certificates, and many ask for additional bumper stickers. The ones that come back to go through AFF make all of the others worth the effort. Arrive Safely John
