  4. Thanks folks. I spent yesterday harassing my son with phone calls and my bad attempts at pronouncing some of this stuff. Now I have to come up with a new plan for next year.

  5. The best part of the movies when I was a kid. You got two movies and a serial. A 15 minute deal with Hop-a-long Cassidy, Captain Marvel or Flash Gordon. About the time they were butt deep in trouble it ended. Falling off a cliff, being attacked by a giant clam, shot with the Zagon death ray. Next week; all better. You never got to see how.

  10. Seat belts should be outlawed and there should be a minimum speed limit of 85 mph. Weeds out the weak. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316
  11. I don't really understand some of the thoughts here. First the man that the article was written about was trying to accomplish something: Kill Nazis. He figured it was OK to lose a few good guys if you kill a bunch of Nazis. So what is accomplished by killing people so they can swoop? Back in the day, people use to pull low. They had low pull contests. They got thrown off the DZ. Why? Cause people died doing it, Bad PR. Base jumping arrived. Skydiving has tried to distance itself from base jumping, Why? Bad PR. So where does that leave swooping? U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316
  12. Why would you want to over come the fear? Sit back and enjoy it. People spend a fortune trying to scare themselves: movies, roller coasters, bungee jumping. Outside of big wave surfing and combat you won't be as scared ever again as your first jump. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

  13. I was driving I-75 in Georgia a month ago. Passed a guy. Out of the corner of my eye, I see, WHAT. I slowed and got behind him. He had the GPS stuck on the windshield directly in front of his face. IFR driving. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

  14. With only 7-10 days flying and then the train up to the park are about the best. Check with the park to see if there is space in the camp grounds. Bear spray, not pepper spray. Boat horn. Smell like a human. No deodorant, flower smelling shampoo, tooth paste. 100% deet and head net. Leave no trace.

  15. Dish washing detergent. A couple drops smear around, let dry, buff with soft cloth. Never any paper products, they scratch plastic. Spit will do in a pinch too. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316

  18. If they are in cosmoline they should be like new. The question is, would you leave them in the box like a Barbie doll or put them together and fly them? U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316
  19. I was announcing for a demo at a race track. Unknown to me the minister started the pre race prayer and I couldn't hear him. As he said "Lord look down on us" The flag jumper got out, I key the mike: "Look up over turn one, there he is spiraling down to earth!"

  20. Look on KBB as if you are selling the car. That will give you a more accurate value. If you are on good terms with your insurance agent ask how much you would get for the car if it were totaled. Drive both. Some cars just don't fit. Ask if they have maintenance records for the cars. Take it to a mechanic and a body shop. The body guys can spot rust, and past damage. If you can find out anything about the past owner. City or highway driver. I have two cars with 200k and truck with 300k. They are mostly highway driven. My mothers 11 year old car has 40k and is in worse shape than mine, because it is just city mileage. Stop and go is murder on cars. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316
  21. 1952 Jaguar XK 120, in 67. Got it out of a barn, with free pigeon pooh. Engine and trans were in the passenger compartment, interior was in the trunk, no top. Took three months getting it together. A guy told me, now I would know what sundays were for: to work on your English car so it ran the rest of the week. Adjusted the carbs, cam chain and fixed something in the electric system every week. But did that thing haul the rest of the week.

  24. The guy who's rig it was, was Ray MaGuire. You can read a little about him in the Blue Sky's stuff. I know the SST opened cause he cut a main away on a team jump that got knocked open, then got in the star and fired the Tri-con. Anybody near Reno that could go look at the stuff to check out what's there? U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

  25. Buddy of mine is going through a dead friends stuff and found a couple rigs. One is an SST with a Tri-con in it. Its been packed since 1981. He thiinks there is a square in the main. I would figure its a starto star. This of any interest to any of you guys that collect this stuff? Rather someone have it that would collect it than it end up a car cover. There's another rig in a box, never used, he's suppose to check out this weekend. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.
