  3. I couldn't find many interior pictures of the planes at one of the local DZ but the one attached will give you a bit of an idea of what they do. There is NO interior in their planes, just white paint. The owner will cut off the nuts of anyone that even thinks about putting a sticker in his planes. There is a mat on the floor and that is all the interior there is. The advantages: light weight, clean professional appearance.

  4. Hi TK, Which goggles do you like best with glasses? I have been jumping without my glasses for years but I'm now getting to the place where I think I might be better with them The old answer I've been using when asked about not wearing my glasses is getting old, just like me. "Blue and white are usually up. Green, brown and yellow are usually down" As you know, lots of canola in Alberta!

  11. That wasn't the reason the contract was not renewed. The insurance required was acquired, albeit via more than one policy. The contract was not renewed because the Brits ran out of money. They (gov't) earn their money via taxes in Pounds but pay for things in Canada in $$$. The drop in the Pound made everything in Canada more expensive and compared to the other adventure activities they offer soldiers, skydiving was the one big ticket item they could lose and easily keep all the others.

  12. Have you noticed your posts disappearing? The mods frown on the same thing being posted over and over again.

  15. Does anyone know of a link to a video of George Bush's AFF jump? I think it was for his 75th birthday. I seem to recall that he bumped his head exiting a skyvan. I'm usually pretty good at searching things out but I can't find the video of the jump. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  18. This site http://scrisc.com/ seems to have pretty good deals on equipment. I am looking for comments both good and bad about these guys.
