just curious how it makes good business sense to lease out a plane that you own, then lease out a plane that costs more to operate?

Ahhh..sweetie..do I ever cease to amaze you? never, and it's quite fun!

Does Dave know about this? well, of course.... "just" means very recently -- as in last night and I certainly knew about that!

thanks! as soon as we can figure out the camera we'll post pics

Well, I know who it is!!!!

well, I was standing in the boarding area at CK's and Krause announced this was a dude's graduation jump and he had done them all that day. So it is possible, likely, no, possible, I suppose, but a longer progression is better IMO because the more you are around skydiving the more you learn just by watching.

I think if you get the right people, an 18 is not out of the question, a 20.... that would be very difficult, if not impossible -- how much tunnel time in those 400 jumps?. That would not include guys like Bobo, Collins and Dave VG throwing a team together, either. I think that Ron's team actually had a shot at that mark, and they are pretty much unsponsored weekenders.

Try following the rules (especially the "no personal attacks" one), and then you won't get banned. By the way, nice kiss-up post. Funny how a picture of Eddie Haskell talking to the Beav's mom popped into my head. It wasnt a kiss up anything, he's solved a lot of issues for me that were causing me to want to quit permanently. So when I say Id take his advice on something, it means Id stake my life on it. Sorry you think it is a kiss up post, if it is, it is because I want to keep taking advice from him being he is pretty much the only one I can trust to give the right information. here's as objective unbiased suggestion... if you ask people with sincerity and truely want to learn, you'd be surprised how many people will help you.

Well, if that was the intention, then it was implemented in the strangest way! no, not really, the whole Player coach thing started happening with Dr Joel... then it started getting bigger with some world class skydivers out of work, so to speak, and has started growing from there. The original intent of the classes is exactly as Ron had described it, and I did send an email of support about a rule change (that didn't happen). Of course I still think you should be able to come back and defend your title..

I'd like to know who's driving to get from trenton to CK's in 30 minutes and the Ranch in 90...

You'll find the donations top right hand corner of this forum Best Wishes for your every happiness! I'd actually like to meet up in person and do those jumps together!

I would not recommend a shoulder dip, you should use your arms, not your shoulder in the upper body part of the turn (knee dopping out and down is the lower body part)

But of course...there is very little that escapes my attention...most of the time I stand in the fire....and say nothing. This time however, I felt it important to remind all of those that have found love matches here on DZ. You are required to pay pimping fees to Sangrio I'll gladly buy him jumps....

Love is in the air....congratualtions Dave...who IS the lucky girl? hmnmmmm, me thinks some one has IM'd a PPG

do a search "Search Posts" and look for Mr Bill, many threads about how to do one....

are you serious? thems fighting words eh?

Oh, that's just Andy and Luke playing around... they exit the plane in a Mr. Bill, Andy then climbs on Lukes shoulders and jumps at some set altitude, deploying his own main.

yup, wasn't Joe on like the first 8 way or some thing along that line? Rusty can cook.... his BBQ is quite tasty.

grizz will be there in about 2-3 weeks, dave. :) how much are tickets to oregon? btw, joe morgan celebrated his 40th year in the sport today. they were doing 40 ways at the dz with Rusty's bbq afterwards. how cool is that? a that's sweet, I miss the Deland big ways (which typically turned more points than a lot of 4 ways

works for me, now only need two more...

well, we did but a pass the rock session cured it. I would have driven down there to do 4way!

yup.....

well, I can't resist... the company I used to work for jumped on the six sigma thing a while back, and actually saved a butt load of money doing it. any way, sigma is standard deviation from a mean. if you can get six before the change in the bell curve changes slope, you basically have a nearly perfect process (whatever it is)... some reliability engineer invented the whole process at Motorola (I think), and they got to the point where they got rid of all final quality control because their process was so in control they didn't make bad stuff. (you can have many process hooked together and if they are all six sigma capable, you still won't introduce process variation into the product). so it's basically using sets of data, statistics, and other stuff to make data base decisions, which in the long run isn't so bad, it's the way companies implement the process that hurts. clear it up a little?

so do you still have the directions? someone told me you have volunteered my house for a party... please let me know so I can plan accordingly

well, I'm thinking the embarrasing stuff makes for good video...
