  1. My bad. I totally missed the reference to the wind chill chart. I thought maybe you were jumping at the North Pole or something. Now, what is the coldest you've ever jumped nekked? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

  6. A hint as to why it is what it is might be B.) of the Introduction, "... the recommendations ... are put forth as guidance and are not mandatory. Moreover, a deviation from these recommendations does not necessarily imply negligence and is not to be used in a court of law to demonstrate negligence." If compliance with the SIM was mandatory (regardless of enforceability), the above might not work. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  7. I received this in an email from the airport honchos like it just happened. Turns out it was last year some time. Lightning Strike Lightning strike to a plane at the gate. You'll need to watch it several times ; it's only about 11 seconds. Watch closely at the tail of the plane. (looking for a lightning strike) Then replay it and watch the front landing gear. Then wonder why we don't refuel airplanes if there is lightning in the area. Three key things/areas to watch 1. first watch the tail of the aircraft as the bolt hits the vertical stab, do not blink, it happens that fast. 2. Next, watch the nose of the aircraft where ground crew is walking up to, and under, the nose of the plane. 3. Then, look just to your left of the nose gear. That brown square on the ground is a metal plate imbedded in the concrete, with a small manhole cover. The strike exits onto the metal plate, and sends the manhole cover flying through the air toward the tug on the far left.

  8. Was the guy dead before your buddy started going through his stuff? Or was your buddy caught and the guy got dead in the ensuing fight to save his valuable gear? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

  13. When you say that you skydive, you set a bar directly in front of that person. He can not ignore it. His brain automatically sizes up whether or not he can rise above the bar or if it is a limitation. Chances are this person has no knowledge base to work with on the subject and blurts out the result of his view of that bar. I've noticed that, too. Always within the first 2 thoughts from that person is a declaration of whether he is capable of rising above that bar. Usually he will not and defends his decision with the old "Why would anybody jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" defense.

  14. Congrats!! In 13.5 years I'll catch up to you. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving

  16. I watched and I WAS enlightened. Thank you for the history lesson. I always thought there was more to it than that.
  17. I bet he can't play them either.... Correct on both counts. AND I have no idea where Kentucky is. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  18. As an aspiring guitarist, I'll play just about anywhere. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back country. As I was not familiar with the area, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play. The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And, as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my guitar and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full. As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been puttin’ in septic tanks for twenty years." Apparently I'm still lost... it's a man thing. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  19. Hiya- I've seen a couple of references to the shooting of a Nude Beer commercial in Elisinore in the 90's (9/92?). This included a 20-way. Supposedly there are some great stories about the commercial. At the risk of Airtwardo saying, "Yup", is there anyone around here who was involved? Care to share the stories. Any pictures or memorabilia, perhaps? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  20. Thanks all. Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  21. I don't have the math skills to figure this out. I don't have the google skills to phase this in order to get an answer. I'm sure one of you all will have the knowledge. Nine playing cards, three of which are aces. They are shuffled and spread out face down. You have one attempt to pick out the 3 aces. What is the probability (or is it odds?) of this happening? Thanks! Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
  22. And in that same period of time how many times have you told this story ?
  23. Repost? Hell, this is annual post! Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration, and it was shortly before Christmas when the FAA examiner arrived. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order. The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolf's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for the sled's enormous payload. Finally, they were ready for the checkride. Santa got in and fastened his seatbelt and shoulder harness and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a shotgun. "What's that for?" asked Santa incredulously. The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff."

  24. Could you elaborate on this, please? Peace, -Dawson. http://www.SansSuit.com The Society for the Advancement of Naked Skydiving
