chuteless

yes, be sure to remember those who died on Sept 11, but the worst is yet to come. Donald Rumsfeld said " Its only a matter of time until they acquire nuclear weapons...we will not be able to stop them. They will not hesitate to use them for a minute" FBI Director Mueller said" We know they have chemical weapons, and biological weapons, and they will soon have nuclear weapons, and they WILL use them. I wish I could be more optimistic. Dick Chaney said similar words, acknowledging that Al Qaeda will obtain and use nuclear weapons......on the USA. After the Soviet Union broke up, more than 100 suitcase sized nuclear weapons disappeared from their arsenal. The US Government believes that these weapons are available on the black market....to the highest bidder. North Korea and China will also be willing to sell them to fulfill their own worldly ambitions, and if you dont think they have such ambitions, you couldnt be more wrong. Iran is also a member of the nut club. Why is it that the USA attacks Iraq ( for oil) and ignores Iran who they know has a nuclear program? Israel destroyed Iran's nuclear reactor several years ago....just delaying their program....not ending it. The AXIS OF EVIL still exists.... And now for the real shocker. First I must explain why I hold the position I do in this matter About 70 years ago, my father began a study of the Holy Bible. He died in 1961, and I got all his papers, which contain some of the most startling revelations I have ever seen. I got into a very deep and intensive research program, and have expanded his papers to an unbelieveable manuscript, which has revealed a "KEY" to literally hundreds of mysteries contained in God's WORD. Using that "key", I have found positive indications that this world is now living in its last day, and the events of today are going to escalate to unimaginable proportions. The attacks of 9:11 were a precursor to a MUCH bigger event, that will bring an end to US dominance.The United States will no longer be a relevant nation on the world stage, and there will be no "United Nations" The 191 nations that the UN represents will become the "untied Nations". Now, I'm sure you are all saying, that could never happen, but stop and think for a minute about the many many "empires" that existed in years past, who rose to geat power, and then fell with a great thud. For Instance: The Ancient Roman Empire, the Japanese Empire, the Byzantine Empire, The Ottoman Empire, the Greek Empire, the German Empire, the Babylonian Empire and the British (Commonwealth) Empire. These are just a few....who rose to great power in the world of their time, and then fell into decline. The United States is referred to in God's WORD, and there are several references to its fall into decline, but the references ARE THERE and clearly recognizable. I predict from what is written, that GW Bush will be relected, but by 2006, he will have become the last (final) President of the USA, I wont bother to elaborate what will then take place....I think I've shocked you enough for one day. One further thing of interest: Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden are encoded in the Bible as well, through the use of two names Abaddon and Apollyon ( Hebrew and Greek), names which mean "destroyer", and although they are tied in scripture to a scenario that is hard to comprehend fully, they can be found in Revelation ( a book about the end times) in Chapter 9 verse 11, ................9-11. Yes, please remember those who died 2 years ago today.....but consider what Rumsfeld, Mueller and Cheney have stated.... and consider the scenario of another great world power falling into decline.

I usually cook it with the help of a stove....why do you ask?

I knew a guy who was in Angola with the army, and he said you could have anyone killed for 2 cigarettes. Thats a pretty cheap price to put on a life. Is there any wonder their country is constantly going down the toilet?

thats right EH !!!

This thread should read "Aircraft stowaway was STUPID"

A friend of mine who fought in world war II introduced me to a war buddy of his. He then said " This guy is made of the stuff Victoria Cross winners are made of". I thought it was the greatest compliment I'd ever had, because I truly admire those who won the VC, like my brother's pilot , Flt Lt Dave Hornell VC.

Yeah....I once opened low and said " Oh man....I should pay more attention to my altimeter I had a malfunction once...and said, "Oh man....I should pay more attention to my packing"

many many times....love every one too.

Yes....a good idea....and while your at it, tell them that the nude jumpers are a detriment to the sport and any dropzone. Some people have no shame .

many times. Once had a castr put on a broken wrist monday morning and I removed it monday night and kept right on jumping. I had a cast on my ankle ( to the knee) and removed it over a period of several weeks. I once had a doctor freak out big time because I wouldnt let him put a cast on my other ankle. He made a notation in the hospital log book and sent me off. I had a doctor in a Toronto hospital want to put a screw in my ankle...I told him to screw off, put a "small" cast on it, and I'm on my way. they screamed at me, becaiyuse I was telling them how to do their job....most of them use us for practice in ways not necessary. many casts on, and kept jumping. I broke five bones in my foot and walked on it for three days before Xrays revealed the damage. I left the hospital the same way I went in..no cast...no bandage, but my big toe sticks out 1/2 inch too far now. I can still run and do all I have to.

its not tongue in cheek...its a disgusting reflection on skydiving. Why are so many skydivers bent on showing how indecent they can be. do you not have any interest in projecting a decent image to the public. I once jumped wearing a kilt at a demo. It was 80 degrees on the ground and 36 degrees at altitrude. I nearly froze, but becaue their was thousands of people waiting for the drop, I wore a red bathuing suit under the kilt. Even if there had only been one person, it would have been the same. Some people have morals and pricipals. I am one of them.

NO....and I think it is stupid to do so. No other sport in the world degrades their activities with such lewd behaviour

a few times...but for good reasons. I was jumpmaster for a load to 22,000 ft for a beer commercial and we didnt have satisfactory oxygen...I ordered the plane down and stated that I would conk anyone who went towards the door with a bailout bottle. I also took the plane down in Ecuador while training the special forces. One jumper had forgot his reserve and helmet..so I loaned him mine. I thought of jumping without both, but was there to train them and educate them in safety, so stayed on board. Bill Cole D 41

I used a jet pilot helmet for years and it had a set of headphones in it...I was connected to ground cobntriol, but it would be possibkle to listen to a CD if you ig it right. Bill Cole D 41

One suspension for life was because of doing a jump without a chute on Aug 20th 1969. I was then reinstated, after doing the 2nd chuteless jump July 20th 1972. I set the Canadian High Altitude record, and CSPA submitted the documentation to the FAI, and registered the jump as a record. I showed a portion of the chuteless jump #2 on TV and had a 15 minute show for which I was paid $1500.00. They asked if it would be possible to jump from the wallk of the Grand Canyon, and I said it would ( although I had no plans to do it ). This really upset some CSPA types, and the 2nd life suspension was in effect immediately. CSPA sent me my HALO recoird certificate, and then proceeded to make up a set of "CSPA" records. I was a member in good standing when I made the record jump (36,916ft) and was picked up upon landing by the CSPA Executive Director, but I wasnt included in their "CSPA" records. They dont want to respect anything with my name on it, even if they know it to be true. Still suspended, and their vendetta attacks aren't finished. No one has had more fun jumping than me See the website of Rob Price...its all spelled out there. Click on "Bill Cole Skydiver" and folloiw the trail. of blood

I made my liuving at skydiving for many years, I lived on the air show circuit, and did jumps at special events. I was sponsored by Toyota, Gillette, MacDonalds Tobacco, and others...and I had a lot of equipment provided. Two chuteless jumps and High Altitude jumps helped bring interest from the public. CSPA suspended me twice for life, and they kept opening their big mouth, which the press couldnt resist making a deal out of. that helped me quite abit. I worked on many television shows and commercials, and even had a beer commercial done about me, ( I have never tasted beer in my life). It was sure an interesting ride, and then I got heavy into sponsored hot air ballooning. Good money from both if you work it right. I wish I still had some of thoser bucks today. Bill Cole D 41.

His ego will stop (1) when he runs out of money (2) when he gets killed.

I most certainly do believe in GOD, and Jesus Christ is the SON of GOD. Absolutely!!!!!!!!!

I dont know if you consider suspension from CSPA the same as "grounded", but Ive been suspended for 34 years. I doesnt mean I cant jump, and Ive been invited to jump at CSPA dropzones and non cspa, so maybe suspension isnt the same as "grounded". Bill Cole D-41

I think you should get another job....one that you can use all the potential you exhibit here. when I first read what you wrote...i could hardly believe it...and thought, there's a guy who is having a slow day.

actually, I asked her to leave John Kennedy for me...and she declined. I often wondered why...she could have been in the back seat of that car in Dallas, but no, she gave up a jumper andf for what I ask ??????????

yeah, I remember him. Its Al Olmstead, and he was one of two pulled out of the lake that day.the other was Bob Coy.

I have had quite a few sponsors, tobacco company, Toyota, Bulova watches, Greb footwear...(track shoes, suits, and boots) Gillette Trac II, Canadian Tire stores, and several others who were small companies, and gave me jewellry for my wife, and other things. With Toyota, I got a new car every three months, and eventually they gave me one and said keep it until the wheels come off. I had them as a sponsor for a total of 12 years and besides the vehicles, they bought me three round canopies, three squares, a hot air balloon and all its relevant equipment. Bill Cole D-41 Canada

Ive seen two...a guy and later, a girl. I have known many who died taking part in the sport..but wasnt there when they bought the farm. I lost 16 friends on one jump, into Lake Erie, Aug 27 1967. I know three or four who committed suicide, but only 1 of those while jumping. Bill Cole D41

I made my first jump 41 years ago yesterday....the same day Marilyn Monroe died. I dont believe there was any connection between the two things. Bill Cole D-41
