Hopefully they learn the lesson from Louden and figure out a better parking since TopGolf has a large enough draw that it frequently takes up all their parking spaces since they share a parking lot in VA. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

Did you miss the part about private school? I know in my local Catholic school the bible is required reading as is it at the local "MegaChurch" school. That school in particular uses the bible in just about every class- History, Science, Biology, religion and other classes all use verses and chapters as part of the development of the lessons based on the conversations I've had with someone that was unfortunate enough to go there. They were taught directly from the bible history from creation in 7 days up to the end of the bible and that all other sources were incorrect, man and dinosaurs walked together, Women were created from a rib of man and just about the rest of the stuff in there. This is also a church that asks for your W2's at the end of the year and your checking account number so they can direct bill you your tithe each month in case you forget to come to a service or two....

Officially announced: http://www.tbo.com/brandon/indoor-skydiving-center-ifly-coming-to-brandon-next-to-top-golf-20160617/ Indoor skydiving center IFLY coming to Brandon next to Top Golf By Jerome R. Stockfisch | Tribune Staff Jerome R. Stockfisch on Google+ Published: June 17, 2016 Updated: June 17, 2016 at 01:35 PM BRANDON — Local adventurers will soon be able to “skydive” without having to jump off an airplane, instead floating on a cushion of air generated by giant fans at an indoor skydiving center planned for Brandon. The IFLY chain will open next to the Top Golf attraction on Palm River Road near the intersection of the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway and Interstate 75. The venture will be another big get for the Brandon area, which has enjoyed a number of big openings in the past few years, including Top Golf and a Bass Pro Shop. Officials at the Austin-based company have not responded to repeated requests from the Tampa Bay Times for information on the Brandon site, but the website Indoor Skydiving Source reported that the local IFLY will open in November. The project is also detailed on the website of ARCO/Murray Construction Co., the company that also built the Top Golf facility and is working on the Tampa General Hospital healthplex nearby. The construction company also confirmed the November opening. IFLY facilities feature a vertical wind tunnel powered by giant fans that can generate up to 175 mph winds, with the force adjusted for participants’ body weight. “For me, it’s just a complete feeling of freedom — and I have the reference of skydiving,” said Vince Arnone, who runs Indoor Skydiving Source from Chicago. “There’s a leap of faith you have with skydiving, when you jump out that airplane door, and you don’t have that with (indoor) skydiving.” Participants have a training session in an on-site classroom, then are provided a jumpsuit, helmet, goggles and earplugs. An instructor accompanies rookies, but additional runs can be accomplished solo or with friends. Prices start at $59.95 at IFLY’s Orlando facility for two flights of several minutes each. That’s the freefall equivalent of three skydives from 12,000 feet, according to the IFLY website. Participants eventually can perform advanced gymnastic maneuvers and even compete. The second World Cup of Indoor Skydiving takes place in October in Warsaw. Arnone said some participants choreograph moves to music. The sites also host parties and corporate team-building events. IFLY has 50 facilities worldwide and has entertained more than 7 million fliers. It was founded in 1998 in Orlando when the technology was developed to create a stable, wall-to-wall cushion of air in a flight chamber. “You go from standing to leaning in and then lying down on this wind that’s supporting you, and you have this complete freedom of movement,” said Arnone. “The cool thing is that it’s so accessible, and it’s so safe.” Contact Jerome R.

I know of one demo team that is jumping their really large flags with multiple 10+ pound solid shot bags hanging from the leading edge. The shot bags are fully stuffed canvas bags sewn up with loops of webbing sticking out. They end up clipping with climbing carabiners a few of the bags to the bottom of the canopy and when they release the flag from the bag the weight just falls away to get to the bottom of the flag. On their largest flags they have had to add bungee systems since they toss 80+ pounds of lead and the shock of it getting to the bottom of the flag 100 feet away was too much since it was being transmitted directly to the jumper. The leading edge of the flags is made up of I think Type 7 or 8 webbing that's sewn down the entire edge and then sewn into a loop at the bottom for the biners to clip into. Most of their flags made of F111/ZP and are 500-2000+ sq feet and they fly them on 170 canopies at all sorts of loadings. You can look around and find photos but most times the weights are flying 10-20 feet behind the jumper due to the drag on the flag and the speed of the canopy. On the larger canopies or in deep brakes the flags seem to fly straighter since the canopy has less speed but if you look at the more loaded canopies they have a really good bend in the leading edge. This is not to say that it looks bad or does not work but you just have to know it going in depending on what you are looking for. An issue you can run into if you have too fast of a canopy for the flag size is the flag will actually start to turn into more of a streamer and it looks more like a triangle trailing behind since the bottom edge can not actually get tension on it. It ends up flying like this: This tends to happen a lot on smaller canopies and larger flags but it can also happen on really big flags on big canopies.

In the court papers for ISG it was mentioned that iFly had purchased a site a short distance away and was heavily lobbying the land owners of the other site to prohibit construction due to patent issues. Names of lobbyists were mentioned in the paperwork filed in court but needless to say they went all the way to the governors office to put pressure against ISG. iFly was using this proposed construction as their excuse for bringing the lawsuit and keeping it in TX. The proposal was not made public in the court documents but all the details that I had put together seemed to me like it was presented that they were basically positioning this as a tunnel that was going to only exist to put ISG out if they were able to open. Aka - Win the patent suit but go out of business due to too much competition in a small location. Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

If you review the case notes Airborne (and Buzz) is mentioned in one of the few documents that was not redacted. To me - it sounded like iFly was getting ready to launch a suit without even looking at the design of Airborne for patent infringement. Reading the case - like in addition to FliteShop there were multiple other parties that were working with ISG to bring tunnels to the States pending the conclusion of this case including one in western Boston. Paper work for that LLC is public if anyone wants to look it up http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1656632/000165663215000001/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml & http://www.octafinance.com/freedom-wind-tunnel-900000-fundraising-neal-gouck-released-oct-28-d-filing-2/243507/. iFly announced this project around the same time: http://www.indoorskydivingsource.com/tunnels/ifly-boston/ Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com

Locally I know Amazon was granted a massive abatement for one of the three projects they are running in town: This is at one of three builds they are running concurrently: AWS has similar data centers in Northern VA, NorCal, Oregon and are looking at another one in Vegas area right now. Add in the new airline they just created and are getting massive tax breaks for and the large number of warehouses they have outside most major cities they receive hundreds of millions of incentives on a yearly basis.

Read through the case - in my opinion they settled only since they had a novel use of existing designs and if they went to jury and lost it would have ended the company and then left iFly as the only one left to sell to most of the world. The same patent was tossed out in most of Europe a few years ago as being invalid which is why most of Europe is still fair game for ISG to build in along with China, Japan and other markets. There were no corners being cut for ISG since the cost is still upwards of 5 million for an ISG tunnel. I read every non-redacted case note and ISG had found designs like the Langley tunnelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AfYlqI2wKM that had been even referenced as prior art from the 50's and the largest change from the military spin testing tunnels vs the skydiving ones seems to be the concept of a "net", the ability to have the motors anywhere "above" the flyer (in a circle any location is technically above), the concept of a direct observation area all around the chamber (most military testing was done via a control booth) and that it was used for freefall simulation and training. Outside some of the minor technical differences between the tunnels there was the large difference of the business model - iFly only sells tunnels on a franchise basis. ISG was just a "you buy it you own it" model. No matter what the iFly model will end up costing a lot more to a consumer since they will need to cover the franchise fee. Also the cost of ISG seemed to be 3-4 million less so in theory it would have allowed more tunnels to go into locations that a 12 million dollar investment would not work but at 8 million the math would work.

I wonder if iFly is going to follow through with their plans to build on the same street that Fliteshop was going to build on since they presented that to the courts as evidence. The case notes are really interesting to see how the patent system works. I see that ISG's application to invalidate the patent based on prior artwork was also denied. http://www.natlawreview.com/article/indoor-skydiving-germany-gmbh-v-ifly-holdings-denying-request-rehearing-regarding this one to me is a lot of legalese but it looks like it was dismissed on technicalities.

I just saw some polls coming out of Pennsylvania that show Trump vs Clinton as a dead heat. The same size was fairly small but it shows that once again he might be able to succeed only since so many people keep writing him off incorrectly. He'll be able to outspend Hillary with out a doubt since he is spending almost nothing now and shes bleeding money trying to fight Bernie. This is just getting started unfortunately.

That looks like the left wing of a King Air. Photo cuts off before you see the body.

Where did the $40 Billion come from that is building the French design or the multiple billions that have been dropped into the German design so far? All the Germans have to show is about 15 milliseconds worth of plasma for their multi Billion dollars so far. Should the governments continue this spend of money or should they spend it on other programs since clearly private industry will figure this out on their own instead in the next 50 years right?
