Well as I live in Hungary, prices here a bit differ. One instructor said it is 7000$ and I will learn to fly with a new Soccata. Well I do not need a new Soccata I would prefer a Yak-52, but I do not know if they do trainings with it the past I know they did. Learning to fly with a Yak-52 should be a bit more exciting.

Once in the future I want to have private pilot license. So the previous week I called up a pilot instructor just to get some idea about pricing he said it is about 7000$. For me it is a bit expensive, however at my skydiving club the the chief instructor said once if I really want to fly he will help to arrange it for much more cheaper. Also the pilot instructor thought I am an idiot when I asked whether they provide a pilot emergency chute. Without a chute I would never fly with any plane. Of course in a commercial airliner I can not take a chute, but in cases where I can I will. I have now the offical schedule/timeline and topics for the exam downloaded from the Civil Aviation Authority. So once I will have the money I will start the course.

1.) Hunt For The Red October 2.) Le Professionnel (1981) aka The Professional 3.) Longest Day 4.) Battle of the Bulge 5.) Kelly's Heroes 6.) Event Horizon 7.) Mulholland Falls 8.) Raid on Entebbe 9.) Enemy at the Gates 10.) Kavkazskij plennik aka Prisoner of the Caucasus aka Prisoner of the Mountains 11.) Usual Suspects

SkyDekker the positive examples I could found: What is the Highest Jump WITHOUT a Parachute? from http://www.173dairborne.com/amazingpara.htm 1. "Lieutenant I. M. Chisov of the former Soviet Union was flying his Ilyushin 4 on a bitter cold day in January 1942, when it was attacked by 12 German Messerschmitts. Convinced that he had no chance of surviving if he staged with his badly battered plane, Chisov bailed out at 21,980 feet. With the fighters still buzzing around, Chisov cleverly decided to fall freely out of the arena. It was his plan not to open his chute until he was down to only 1000 ft above the ground. Unfortunately, he lost consciousness en route. As luck would have it, he crashed at the edge of a steep ravine covered with 3 ft of snow. Hitting at about 120 mi/h, he plowed along its slope until he came to rest at the bottom. Chisov awoke 20 min later, bruised and sore, but miraclously he had suffered only a concussion of the spine and a fractured pelvis. Three and one-half months later he was back at work as a flight instructor." Hecht, Eugene. Physics: Calculus. 2nd ed. United States: Brooks/Cole, 2000. p 85 2. Flight Sergeant Nicholas Steven Alkemade was on a bombing mission over Germany on 23 March 1944 when his Lancaster bomber flying at 18,000 feet was blazed apart and in flames when he was forced to jump, without a parachute or be burn to death. He dove out of his destroyed aircraft hoping on a quick death. His speed accelerated to over 120 miles per hour and he impacted on a snow covered sloping forest. He was completely uninjured and later captured by the Germans who refused to believe his story. (www.urbanlegends.com/death) 3. The longest survivable fall, 26 January 1972, was Vesna Vulovic a stewardess in a DC-9 which blew up at 33,330 feet. She was in the tail section of the aircraft and though injured survived the fall. The plane crashed after the detonation of a bomb in the forward cargo hold. A flight attendant, 22 year old Vesna Vulovic, fell 33,330 feet in the tail section and although she broke both legs and was paralyzed from the waist down, she survived. She was in a coma for 27 days and it took 16 months for her to recover. The bomb was believed to be placed on the plane by a Croatian extremist group. http://www.planecrashinfo.com/unusual.htm

HotLoad If you check out my first post you see I posted a lot of shit about Leonardo, I should not have done it I should have post a sentence only about him and skydiving So in this case you are right. It might seemed that I am a great fan, which I am not.

HotLoad RE:"What kind of jackass reads bios of silly Hollywood prissy boys and then has the audacity to post on a skydiving board?? " I am reading the bios of silly Hollywood people as Leonardo, because I am curios what makes 80% of the girls love that asshole. I could not find the answer yet. More seriously I am more interested in biographies of famous people not only actors, but political leaders etc. then their films or political speeches. I am not a kid I am a bit older now. My mom never reads dropzone forums, thats CLINTON's mom. I am not Clinton and I do not want to be Clinton. If anybody posts his own shit here why can't I. Do not tell me that 100% of the post are strictly skydiving as a sport related. I am not a Leonardo fan, and I won't be. I am really interested in those "famous" people who skydive because I do not like celebrities very much but if they jumped at least they do something I appriciate, I like (of course Leonardo I will hate even if he would have 2000 jumps). So help me out and make a post of famous people jumping. As I did mention Alain Delon was a paratrooper, or do you consider him Hollywood prissy boy too. RSVP If you are too nervous buy Prozac, hope it will help or simply go to jump.

Trying to search for a UFO with anti-aircraft guns, battery and missles. Must have been a great job. Sgt. RedBull: Sir, is that a UFO? Maj. John "UFO-KILLAH" Doe: FIRE! Kill 'Em All, I love the smell of the burning UFOs in the morning!

I heard I think in the radio and I wanted to check out if it is true. This is the only moment I felt bad that I am a skydiver They even siad that he had a malfunction during his first jump, well sorry for that it is time to stop skydiving Leo. Also did you know that Alain Delon during the war in Indochina (E.g. Vietnam+surrondings) was in the French Marines Paratroops? They say later he was kicked out of the service for being too cruel.

An articel I found for you Making A Cigar Humidor Making a humidor is not as simple as most people think. Building a box (and more specifically a humidor) is a very complex task. To begin with, a humidor is built by making two boxes--one inside another. That sounds easy enough to do . . . . but it isn't. First: The 'outside' box must be perfectly square in every dimension, i.e., the length, width, and depth. It's not so hard to do in one direction. How about making it square in two dimensions? That's more difficult. Making it square in three dimensions is by far the most difficult. So why does this humidor have to be so square in three dimensions in the first place? Because if it isn't perfectly 3D square, not only will it look weird, but more importantly the top will not close correctly over the inner box. That is, it will be skewed to one side or the other. The hinges will bind as well. Finally, (and most importantly) closing the lid will be impossible because it will not shut over the 'inner' box, which is made of Spanish cedar. Therefore, it won't create a snug seal, which is required so that those precious expensive cigars stay perfectly humidified and age well. So much for construction of the 'outer' box. Now for the 'inner' box. Each piece of Spanish cedar must pressure-fit against each other. If there are gaps, air will leak in and out too rapidly, thereby losing precious moisture in those wonderful stogies you paid so dearly for. They would begin to dry out and become brittle, and finally end up cracking that great cigar wrapper leaf. Don't want that! OK so far? So what's so special about these humidors we make? Well, if all we did was make nice, square boxes (inside and out) they would be relatively cheap to produce. But we want out cigar humidors to be even better than just the typical humidor out there in the market place. We go to extraordinary lengths to design and create a humidor that will be considered the finest desktop humidor out there. Plus, it must have real style. Ours is the only humidor of this caliber made of genuine, solid tropical and exotic hard woods. Very few humidor makers attempt to do this. There is a good reason why: It is very costly to do. By far, the majority of cigar humidor manufacturers make them using wood veneers, which is less difficult, and far less expensive to produce. (You generally do get what you pay for.) Next, most humidor makers do not incorporate solid ebony edge-banding on all twelve edges of their boxes. This is also a very costly operation. But because it is a beautiful enhancement, we do it to add that extra bit of quality. Next, consider the use of inlays. Why use them? They add to the individual character and design of each box. Inlays, especially high quality inlays, are costly. We assemble 20 separate inlay pieces on each box. Also, it takes alot of time, skill, and talent to create a pleasing pattern and match. What about the mating of the lid and body? All of our humidors go through a lapping process performed by hand, to create a flawless mating of both top and bottom. This step is absolutely necessary to achieve a snug fitting seam to help inhibit the free flow of air in and out of the box. This will help to insure a limited air exchange, which is desirable for proper cigar humidification and discourage the formation of tobacco mold over time. There's more. . . . How many parts in a humidor? Usually, not very many. But we do it differently. To achieve the style, quality, precision and beauty of our humidors, we incorporate an incredible number of separate parts to complete our design. Quite literally, it takes no less than 58 separate parts for the make-up of just one of our humidors. That doesn't include the parts necessary to make the cigar tray or the hardware! One model of our humidors takes a grand total of 73 separate parts. That's alot by anyone's count. By the time it is ready for the finish, each humidor is proudly signed and dated by it's creator. How about the exterior finish? This is another area where we part company with other humidor makers. Applying our finishing system may be the most difficult process to perform, depending to whom you talk to here. It takes more than a week to apply the many finish coats, sandings, rubbings and polishing. The exterior finish has to be absolutely perfect and lasting. We use a combination of wood, marine, and automotive finishing products to produce a deep, mirror-like, piano finish. That may be the most difficult thing to do. Conclusion: It is tough enough to make a 'regular' cigar humidor. We do it to the EXTREME, and we are very proud of what we make: A superior cigar humidor by anyone's standards. With all this in mind, the price is well worth it. In this case, you do get what you pay for. Thank You for considering a Visions In Wood Humidor for your next purchase. You won't be disappointed. We Guarantee It. http://www.visionsinwood.com/assembly.html

I have put my Cohiba in a glass jar sealed it and in the inside I put a little glass with just some drops of water. Keeping the humidity for some days it is OK. Also once I found an article on the web how to build a humidor it is simple you need some wood a humid-o-meter (or how do you call it) and some basic knowledge how to do it at home and some equipment nails, hammer, saw it is jost a box after all.

OFF-TOPIC Is she rich? (You know the dimensions of an ideal women 70/60/40 She is 70 years old with 60 million USD in the bank she has 40 degrees of centigrade fewer) ON-TOPIC When I was 19 I had a girlfriend and she was 23 and it did not cause a problem, although I was only a highschool student and she was learning at a university. So girls who are 4-5 years older do not cause problem.

You have more asses? Whoooa, CLONES rule! You nowadays with that DNA thingy you can build anything it is like LEGO.

Maybe Clint?

Can somebody post me or to the photo section some high quality pictures. Reason why a girl in or club asked me to print some relative work related :-) or general skydiving pictures as I have an access to a very very good printer I can do it. Unfortunately on the net only smaller files like 23-50Kb are available, but to have a nice printout I would need at least 500Kb or 1Mb pics. Or If you know some web addresses where I can find such pictures that would help me out. pack40 'Optimists invent airplanes, pessimists - parachutes.'

OK I thought so but what is it, seriously? Something National?

It should be changed I think it hurts the Russians. It would hurt me.

Isn't Russia in Europe not in Asia? When you choose from countries you see Russia/Asia
