It says "Herring make a distinctive noise by blowing bubbles out of their anus." HAHA

Kwitcher Bitchin' Ya join the club ya gotta pay the dues!

Hey! I've jumped outta that aircraft many times.

Go for it! I had a thousand jumps on my old Sabre 135 loaded 1.5:1. Roll the tail, roll the nose, quarter the slider. I can only remember 1 opening that was hard enough to uh...well.......remember.

Hey Terry, I asked the same question earlier. It doesn't add up.

The date stamped on the found parachute -- Feb. 21, 1946 -- is the repacking date, not the packing date, Hanson said. Local military historian John "Cye" Laramie said last week that date was the only thing questionable about linking it to Walling's crash. I don't get this part. The repack date was stamped on the chutes in those days? Doesn't that mean you would have to unpack the chute to see the repack date? Makes no sense.

Why a visa for a CASH paying job in most cases. A dream come true for a foreigner! Happens all the time.

Wow! Only $6999.95 for a B29 Stratofortress with purchase of a Fat Boy! I know what I'm saving up for!

Are those 3 white AN-2s that you're landing in front of?

Just saw another Cooper story on Fox while channel surfing. I'm thinkin' with the media feeding frenzy thats going on now and all, the best thing ol' Coop could do IF he were still alive would be to out himself LIVE on nat'l. TV! Think of the book and movie rights! You'll make millions, You gotta be an old fart now. Why not enjoy the limelight while you're still hot media-wise.

In the news video I like the way they are dragging the evidence (chute) around on the garage floor. Not your typical way to handle evidence i would think.

This is interesting. If you zoom into the center of the map left by1969912 there is what appears to be a 2000 foot grass runway just nort of NE Farr Rd. With what looks like a building with hangar doors on the North end of the runway.

Haven't you heard? Easter has been called off. They found the body.

Yes. The Geriatric Skydiving Team is out there most Fridays doing fun jumps. Those guys are a blast to jump with!

What politician these days is not a vote whore?

The shots are pretty cool. But on a Safety Nazi side note: not one but both hangers on the cover have loose t-shirts that could interfere with their EPs if needed. I think I remember a safety tip on that very subject in Parachutist a few months back....... Hmmmmm I'll have to go back and check it out when I get home.

All I'm reading are a bunch of shade tree wannabes throwing parts at the problem trying to fix it. I think it's the nut behind the wheel.

I believe it's "Don't Fucking Die".

No, thats what sunglasses are for!

Borrow my GF or my car. He might throw a rod in either one!

Did he stay on 8 seconds?

Yer welcome mate, I'm only here to help. Besides, it's only TV. I'm preeeetty sure that shits not real.

Huh? Just reading that gave me a headache. Man, I'm glad I don't watch TV. You do the math!
