  1. However did you get it lit? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  2. OK, anybody (everybody) smarter than me. The article says, I thought the whole idea of space was nothingness where sound could not be heard because there isn't anything to carry the sound waves. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  3. Been done before. In the 60's a 2-way swooped into an Chevy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXRtfghivn0 Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  4. I thought the coolest part about the whole deal was being in an airplane with 179 other skydivers! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  5. Would I know this individual? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  6. Maybe it wasn't all about Lodi. Perhaps they just paid Lodi to stage a reenactment. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  7. Actually, there is a graphic in the beginning of the piece that says "San Joaquin County". Lodi is located in San Joaquin County. Also at the end of the show there is a disclaimer: "To protect the repo men, debtors and property, key identifying information has been changed and select dramatizations employed." The whole Lodi location/aircraft thingy could fit under that description. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  8. Deal. I won't tell you that there have been many, many, naked jumps out of that plane. At the same time, I won't tell you that just about every jump airplane that you will ever skydive from has been jumped naked. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  9. The young one has much to learn. Jump aircraft are routinely older planes. We get the aircraft that aren't used by particular people any longer. This particular aircraft was manufactured in 1967. It's just a baby. I checked the N-number. You and I, in fact, made our first jumps out of the same airplane. 19+ years apart. I think that makes us related.
  10. Alaska But, wait how long ago was your first jump??? My first jump was in 1994. It was out of this airplane http://www.iplummet.com/aircraft.html. I'm thinking that this is the same 206. You wouldn't happen to have a picture with the N-number, would you? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  11. Where was this? I'm pretty sure that my first jump was out of that aircraft. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  12. I was not intending to insinuate that these were the same organization. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  13. I have heard rumors about this place opening. https://www.facebook.com/WorldSkydivingCenter Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

    omni

    I have ~2500 jumps on my Icarus Omni 183.5. I just ordered a new one from NZ Aerosports. They still make them, however they don't market them because "The Omni is not really a current design." Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  15. I heard that it was FedEx who wanted it painted. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  16. FedEx donated the airplane to our airport (MKE) a few years ago for training purposes. Recently, someone decided that they didn't want the aircraft in FedEx colors anymore. Our department got tasked with painting it. I just had to get involved, so they let me climb in the cherry picker and take a few swipes with the gun. My boss is taking the pictures. The guy in the harness is like, "Get these goofs outta here so I can get my job done." The engines are out of it. Look close and you can see 2x4's holding the side engine pod covers. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  17. The first step to stealing an airplane is to camouflage it. You don't think FedEx will notice one of their airplanes missing, do you? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  18. OK, what are the legalities in the US concerning jumping from a powered paraglider? "I know a guy" who has a 2 seat PPG. Assume that we want to do this over a normal dropzone, with all applicable permissions. 1. Is it legal to jump from a PPG? 2. What license does the pilot need to hold? The pilot is not a jumper and believes in following rules and shit. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  19. There is always this. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  20. You are on to something. I maintain that the guy in this video http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=436c67e5cb is inappropriately endowed for naked skydiving. Fortunately, I don't share that handicap. You can always blame it on "shrinkage". Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  21. Skip the spring loaded pc. Skip the ripcord. Then you can practice your horseshoe malfunction emergency procedures. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  22. I, for one, might be interested in knowing where Skydive Sussex is located. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  23. At that point does it become an "iRig" ? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  24. My Mac Plus still works. It is not my primary computing device.
  25. Holy Ancient Thread Resurrection, Batman !! Since then, I've done a couple of naked balloon jumps where an off-field landing was guaranteed. The last time I landed inside city limits. Now I always have a pair of shorts tucked in an ROL pocket. I'm on the ground without pants for no more than 10 seconds.
