What an outstanding woman. She walked the walk, not just talked the talk. She feared no man, and was a God fearing woman. She will be missed. She was a blessing sent to earth from God himself. RIP Maya. Best- Richard

What that cat said (I don't know him) was downright rude and insulting, not to mention slanderous. If she were my wife, Id kick Mr. "All seeing guy's" ass. It's one thing for an incident to take place, it's another to say ugly, mean, rude and hateful things. Nuff said. Best- Richard

Mistake, eh? Far worse than any mistake I ever heard of. Totally agreed. Or driven out, banished, etc...I think he should lose his DZ as well. Jeez, if that had been one of us, we would have felt the swift sword of justice immediately. If he has any gumption at all, he shouldn't be putting anyone in harms way legally for something he did all by him self. Swooping the peanut gallery is highly unacceptable, no excuses, NONE. Richard, step down before you cause USPA and the BOD any further embarrassment, or legal trouble that we, the members of the USPA will wind up paying for one way or another. C'mon man, do the right thing. Todd and Gary, you guys should be seeing to this, (As I'm sure that you are already are) along with everyone else on the BOD. Nuff said. Richard, I want to hear from you in these very forums, what would you have done to a sky diver that performed this stunt? Be honest. Best-Richard

Keep it up. We'll be reading about you in the incidents section. Oh, take your selfie, and skype with your buddies in the wind tunnel! Best- Richard

Really?' That's prolly the most unitelligent question I've heard in my life. Sure, I carry my cell just in case I land off, or would prolly use it f/ a 911 cal, other than that I'm focused on "Diving my plan" and none of it includes "framily" calls. Best- Richard

Yup, your right, and I'm an idiot! But then again how many reality shows can one possibly come up with involving Alaska?? It reminds me of Sara Palin proclaiming "I can see Russia from my back yard!" Yep, I'm all knowed up now. I seen them hill billys last night on TV. Absolutely could not believe it, or maybe I'm in denial? Or maybe I just don't want to believe it? I don't know anymore!! My wife got a charge out of it, I was thinking "REALLY?" This is a long way from the sitcom I used to watch "Gentle Ben" w/ Ron Howard's little brother Clint in it when I was a kiddo. Best- Richard

The topic is Alaskan Bush People......Right?? Not Alaskan Troopers? Right?? Some one besides me is confused pard, either that or I can't read the topic correctly!?!? So you try again.

Actually they each have their own homes. No, they don't live in a single room house. When Otto and Atz Lee have referenced this, they are referring to the time when they were little and coming up. Eve,Atz Lee's wife just had their first child, he's the 4th generation of Kilcher's to be born there and I reckon he'll carry on with the Kilcher family tradition, live there, hunt there, so on and so forth. They are a tight knit family unit. I wouldn't want to live "Off of the grid" like they do, but hey diffrent' strokes for diffrent' folks! Best- Richard

That's just one of the things BBT does. He's a genius actor. remember "Sling Blade" & "Tomb Stone?" he has this uncanny ability to change 360° in "character mode" He changed his character mode to fit the preacher at the beginning of that episode. The preacher and his wife and family were traveling through of course a dramatic snow storm, car breaks down, BUT after a short argument w/ the wife he gets out of the car, says a prayer, then looks to the fence on the road and sees a snow/ice scraper stuck in the snow. He goes to it, digs around and finds a business case w/ 2.5 million dollars in it. In that episode, you won't find the preacher and family any more, just BBT assuming his identity for an aliby once arrested by (Colin Hanks) for murder. Of course once they ran his identity and found out he was a preacher, they let him go......now on to next episodes high jinks! Best- Richard

Billy Bob Thornton's charachter "Malvo" is sheer genious. You must watch it! Best- Richard

I see a 27 cell HP canopy in my near future! YOWSER! Best- Richard

Down to 230# now. I'm hating dragging around a 280 base canopy. I'm not looking forward to flying my 169 any more either. I've got to get back to SDSM and quit jumping out of the plane I own interest in at G*i**s, Texas. But I'd be letting 3 other guys and a pilot down. However I'm sick and tired of 20 min plane rides to 10K. We're not supposed to be doing it, but hey....what the heck, eh? Best- Richard

I've got a Pisa Heat Wave 150^2 Semi Elipitical. It's the coolest canopy I've ever flown besides my X-Fire(s)

With respect, I think you've answered your own question. All the best to you, always. Best- Richard

I know this isn't going to be a popular answer, but I don't hate anyone, for anything. Hate, like any addiction is a disease, it blackens the soul and spirit, causes discontent and hard feelings. I prefer to be happy!

When It All Goes Wrong I call this the "Asleep At The Switch" syndrome. I hate it when this happens. I know everyone is going to be mad b/c of the HES aspect of this "event" but we do try our best to keep theses types of events from happening. Best- Richard

That plane is super duper, triple dog ugly. I wouldn't even get on it. I bet it's a joke and not real any way. Best- Richard

That's been my thought since day 3, and certainly since they confiscated the flight simulator from the PIC's home. Ain't it weird how they got mum on that all of a sudden like? Best- Richard

May God bless his heart, and soul, and may he have a speedy recovery. Comfort and Blessings to Jeff, and his family. Thoughts and prayers are taking place in our house hold for him and his family. Best- Richard

Heck, just let them stand on top of the container and hang onto the drogue lanyard. J/K! Best- Richard

Justified!

I'll be a happy camper when BHO is at his deadline soon. He hasn't done anything but screw things up way worse than GB Jr. ever did. Any SkyDiver would be a better President than BHO ever has been, which is what he is, a "has been" and a "Lame Duck" president. Best- Richard

I just saw this on CNN. They reported that the BASE jumpers were charged with several felonies as well. Talk about overboard. All they're trying to do is make an example of these BASE jumpers. The one gentlemen was a construction worker on the project, they're really throwing the book at him. What a joke. NYC don't have anything more constructive to do with their time? Just sayin' Best- Richard

Have any idea why Westex closed? I was going to visit there soon. Bummer. Best- Richard

I'm in too! I'd Love to see that!! Best- Richard
