They were 28 foot round canopies, 1.6 oz per sq yd. Some of the prettiest color patterns. Probably can find some pictures if you google. US team had RWB ones one year. And I think the Army team had some black and gold ones. The one I had was black and red diamonds. They died out quickly because the PC arrived. I could be wrong (child of the 60's), I think the 1.6 fabric came about as a military idea to have a smaller canopy than the T-10 to jump, but be able to carry the same load.

The guy is a lying sack of shit. Report his ass to the BBB. If your toliet works OK there is nothing wrong with it. Look at Kohler's site. I think they have pictures of them testing toliets by filling the thing with golf balls and a bunch of other stuff. Keep a plunger handy in case you take a big dump and it plugs up. THen you might have to do something, but I doubt it. You can buy a toliet for about $70 and put it in yourself, if you ever need to. Simple job. Man it just pisses me off when guys try to cheat people. There is so much honest work, you should never have to do that. Invite that thief back and give him a swirly until he sees the error of his ways. Might do the same with your drunk buddy.

I'm writing up a proposal to an airport board to use the place for jumping. I know the usual stuff. We have the right to use the place, if it accepts fed funding, good economic impact for the community, fun, will bring in tourists. What else? What's worked for people and what hasn't? thanks 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

One winter I lived in a motorhome in the Arizona desert. Every Tuesday afternoon they held a jam session outdoors on an improvised stage. One day this man of 80+ years got up.Dressed to the 9's in western wear. In a voice that fit his age he sang the Blue Danube waltz. As he got to the last line he stepped off the stage, walked to this young lady (a meer child of 70 something) dropped to one knee as he took off his cowboy hat. He looked opened the box containing the ring and ask her for her hand. She presented her left hand to him and said "Of course." It must have been dusty that day, cause there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

If my memory is right the packing instructions for the T-Bow. said "Pack in the usual manner". I started to flake it and it had steering lines or whatever pulling panels in and gores that were short and long. Gave up and just shoved it in the bag. {Russian guy taught me that method. He never flaked or checked anything "I not own it." was his motto). Thing worked fine. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

SCR 312. If you read his name, there's no asterick behind it. He's probably not in any history book. He was jumpin' before most of you were shittin yellow.

If you think boot camp was bad. I think A school was worse on the Marines. I was in the Navy in school in Memphis. Marines were in the same schools. Mine was jet mechanics, but they had all kinds of schools there. The Navy barracks were on one side of the road, the Marines on the other. Every night after taps we could see the flash lights as those Marines studied in the dark. They never gave up crap like Marines and Navy guys do to each other and they didn't much leave base like we did with our time off. Why? Because every thursday we took a test. On friday there would be a Marine missing from class. No one said a word, just an empty seat. You see on thursday night that Marine had been quietly notified he flunked the test. He packed his gear and went to Nam'. No fan fare, No public walk. No funny hats. No second chance.Just gone in the middle of the night. The stress it put those Marines under was unreal. Cause they knew one small error and they were gone. It sucked. 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

Isn't Osceola the place where they had the "student tree". One lone tree in the middle of a whole lotta nuthin and every year some student would land in it. If that's the place then in the spring they use to have a cheapo accuracy contest. Two classes. One modified and one unmodified. And wasn't the Superior DZ at a drag strip? I remeber jumping up there. They would hold up the drags to let the plane take off and land. Didn't really slow up either operation. Too cool. If you see Stickman tell him Wildman says hi.

I think Chris Needles was the team captain when Mike was on the team. And just call Raeford to talk to Gene Paul. Tell him Wildman sent ya. For some reason my it makes him laugh. I have more stories about Mike, but I know the USPA wouldn't publish "those" and they would freak out the high school folks.

Mike Steele was the best skydiver I ever saw. There was nothing he couldn't do in the air. I met him in Raeford when I went there to learn style and accuracy. We would jump all day, go into Fayetteville and eat Casadias and get shit face about every night. Next day at it again. Mike was Pete Grubers half brother. I think Mike was 16 when he got his SCR. He joined the Army and got on the Golden Knights. He pretty much taught them RW. He went in saveing an AFF student. Pulled he main, but didn;t have time to save himself. I have his old army ditty bag I take with me to DZ's and the Pioneers of Skydiving reunion. I loved that guy, he was one of the best people I ever knew. I am crying writting this BSBD buddy. You should be able to get some info from the Golden Knights and Gene Paul about him. U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through.

It was the tower at Mitchell we called to check on wind chill. I think Searles or one of the other hired pilots flew. I would have to check with Frank, but don;t think he was flying there at the time. Different people, me included kept the place going for Jeff after he left. Do you know Rainbow is closed? Real shame too. Menomenee Falls DZ is a sub division. You should get hold of Frank. He would be glad to here from you.

New Years 69/70, Wisconsin. We decide to jump into the new year. I get out and track after the guy in front of me. No matter how hard I try I can't gain on him. Finally pull and see the red lights I have been chaseing are on a car. Fingers froze, nuts are even froze, no idea where I am. Crash into the ground on my cheepo. Gather my stuff and start to wade through the knee deep snow toward the road. I hear someone else. Catch up to my buddy George, just busting his ass going through the snow. "George, how come you're dragging your stuff?" He was so frozzen he didn't even notice, he was pulling that cheapo like a big plow. Oh boy the old days.
