  1. Happened to me on a Vampire 2, was current jumping, current on the suit. after a group flight where I used all my physical capability, grabbed the fabric over my PC. Couldn’t pull. Tried again, same mistake, same result. decided to go to my reserve. As it happened rather high, nobody at the DZ realised that there was a freebag getting lost. this was one of my most expensive jumps.
  2. For non-US politics experts, what would be the future timeline of the impeachment process? what are the next steps? Deadlines ?
  3. I might have people interested to buy it. PM me your contacts and date of manufacturing
  4. You guys need to Make America Greta Again
  5. Is it the techno 115 your rigger doesn’t want to pack ?
  6. The Atom problem was not due to heat. Just shitty material. They tried to cover themselves with the heat and humidity excuses but it is simply not true
  7. I have encountered a case of a lady aborting, because with a kid she wouldn’t have the budget to get her new Porsche. So yes, society has crumbled. But for the kid, I believe it is better for him to never have lived. She will have to live with the decision. Also i believe life is often unjust, to have ladies who don’t want the babies being hyper fertile, and others who would love to have them having to struggle
  8. I believe there is a packing machine in France, for student size canopies. Does the job after brake setting until just before inserting in dbag.
  9. I would get them in the order you mentioned. Talon Vortex Wings I am a rigger and prefer working on Rigging Innovation gear. They also offer a MARD (optional) if this is part of your selection process. I am also a Wings owner, and it is my least favourite rig to work on.
  10. In Nice, 86+1 dead , 458 injured https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attentat_du_14_juillet_2016_à_Nice
  11. Or to try and get a view on visually attractive athletes. Both sides. Seriously who watches female beach volley for the sport ?
  12. That would mean: better performance, better prize money. Pretty similar isn’t it?
  13. You’re such a bad ambassador for your country
  14. I believe that most skydivers in the metric world do not consider themselves aviators. Moreover due to the precision of our instruments and the decision speed we need, it is better to jump with the units you are most familiar with. In case of mixed units jumps, do the rough calculations on the ground prior to jumping, and agree on altitudes during the briefing.
  15. Yet aviation is mostly worldwide in feet.
  16. How can you guys celebrate with a kiss pass with full face helmets? good times are gone
  17. I wanted to see if the parade would match/ exceed what you can see on 14 July in Paris, which I believe is the nicest military parade. Also Trump didn’t get the Russian technique to avoid the rain. No collusion there. Edited to add: and I like armoured vehicles, being an ex artillery officer. Love my M109
  18. I believe Americans are not ready for multiparty elections. It is all black and white, blue or red, good or bad. One or the other. If not one, then absolutely the other. Have a look at the Swiss political system. Not saying it is perfect, far from it. But in my opinion beats the US system ten fold. Couldn’t work in many other places though, as political stuff is so ingrained in the mentalities.
  19. Is there any video around? The only videos I have seen of a “parade “ seemed below par of a short bus parade.
