I Found an article about a Wife and a Husband (Rickie and John Wasik) in the belleville IL news democrat from 1967. Rickie went in with a "tangled chute" and John subsequently killed him self 5 weeks later with a note wishing for the same silver casket that his wife was buried in. I"m going to find a way of getting a true copy of the newspaper article and posting it in here.. I just thought it was and intersting tidbit .. Are there any people around from Rockledge or does anyone know Lyle Goodwin who was the " safety officer" I'm interested in finding out what really happened. Thanks KAI There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan

I have XM in my big truck and had Sirius in my Jeep. I'm a huge Opie and Anthony Fan, and a huge Ron and Fez Fan. Never been much on Stern. Siruis has some great music channels, But XM's content is far better. XM has MLB, NHL, and college sports. Sirius has NFL and Nascar. In my opinion XM's technology is better than Sirius. Sirius in my Jeep had Signal issues while i never have had a problem with XM. I do think XM is still slightly cheaper than sirius, but i pay for it yearly.

10 Jumps on my pilot 168 and I have to Say WOW!! This has to be the best canopy I have ever flown. The opening's really are very very soft... half the time I dont even feel it open. Control is absolutely awesome... you can turn it on a dime.. turn it wide.. and if you want, you can spiral the hell out of it.. its flies well in deep brakes and in full flight The color coded line attatchments are awesome to make packing easier. But wrestling new ZP is a pain in the ASS!! ;) Landings are awesome and the flare is effin powerful. I have to say that aerdodyne has made one awesome canopy, and made a customer for life.

I did a hop and pop from 14,500 ft 2 weeks ago... Pulled right out of the door, and my average speed was 98MPH for the whole skydive. So figure an Exit at 14,500 and a 900 ft snivel puts me under canopy at 13,900. I still dont believe that i could have had an average speed of 98MPH Here's the readings from the log book screen. Exit: 14500 Dep: 13900 FF: 6 AVG 98MPH 12K- 24MPH 9K- 20 MPH 6k- 13MPH 3k 11MPH There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan

I just got a brand new pilot 168 from Aerodyne.. I dont want to take it out of the bag until i get to the DZ.. Im wondering if it came with the soft links or do i have to buy them myself? I've looked in the bag and dont see them. Are they somewhere folded up in the main? maybe where the lines are tucked in? Any help would be greatly appreciated There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan

Long story short... I ordered a new main to complete my rig about 14 weeks ago... Last week I checked with Bonnie about the progress of my new main and ran into problems... She made the best of a bad situation and now I have a new PILOT 168 to play with :) I'm so happy and as soon as i get it assembled I'll buy my obligatory case of beer!! Thanks Bonnie this made my whole week! There's no truer sense of flying than sky diving," Scott Cowan

Here's my theory... The common theme of the show is Surfing. Take that analogy and put it to the show, Its a big wave that you have to ride just to see where it goes. I watch to be entertained, not to try to figure it out, Im sure in time they'll give you more clues, but for now just relax and enjoy the wave.
