I have a humble suggestion for you... Why don't you go to Elsinore... I hear the bathrooms there are very nice indeed. And they charge absolutely nothing for their wind tunnel. I hear the beer is cheaper over there too... Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

So you had a Henderson Sighting eh? Last time I saw him was at Ol Farts... I see Pat Works more than I see Don... LOL!!! Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

We spoke about the "Deli Lounge" yesterday at Dirty Ed's last skydive party and yes Bill, you leave a lasting impression where ever you go... Thanks for the memories dude!!! OH! We have a new chapter of Air Trash now... Keep an eye on the website for the details... BSBD EFS Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there."

Just a reminder that Dirty Ed's Memorial and Ash Dive will be held at Perris this Saturday, June 4th. Go to http://www.airtrash.com/ for details. Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

Tanks Mike...

Does anyone know how to spell Kevin Donneli's last name? Is this right or is it something else? I need to list him in Dirty Ed's ash dive list... Don't want to spell it wrong... TIA Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

And the neighbors were upset over the rest of the fleet... Wonder what they think of this? And from what I understand, all the new neighbors have to sign waivers stating that they know the airport is there and can't do anything about it. Good job Benny! Gotta keep those wuffos in check...

Please do not hate us because we are beautiful... Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

Here's the newest edition to the Perris Air Fleet. Our DC9 Jet... It took off from Perris yesterday with a thundering roar and then did a gear check flyby before heading out to SB for some test runs. Here it is throttling up... http://www.airtrash.com/msgphotos/thejet1.jpg Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there."

Last I heard Squishy was working at Itty Bitty Airlines Incorporated. Do ya think they put acid in his parachute? Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

The quote in my sig line is from a 1960 movie called "The Skydivers" which I beleive was made at Arvin. It 's all about a DZ where there are some shinanigans going on and someone gets killed because someone put acid in their parachute. The movie is SPOOFED by the little guys from Mystery Science Theater where they watch horrible B movies and make jokes througout the showing. When the first guy goes in at the beginning of the movie the girlfiriend leans over his body and the little guy says, "OH! So THAT's what a pancreas looks like!". The whole movie is terrible but the cute comments by the animated viewers on MST 3000 makes it funny. Something every skydiver should see in my opinion.

Him Him! Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

In my opinion, the "pussies" are the ones that keep their mouths shut about safety issues. A few high number jumpers, (myself included) were permanently banned from a high profile local DZ for bringing up safety issues. The owner/pilot was the main culprit in two of these incidents. When the ousted jumpers tried to gain support of USPA and the other jumpers at the DZ, the USPA said it was not their place to intervene and the other jumpers stayed quiet for fear of being ousted also... This was wrong, always has been wrong and always will be wrong. Since then I lost all respect for everyone invloved at that DZ and the USPA itself. So again I say, the pussies are the ones who keep their mouths shut.... Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there."

You had better stop skydiving then because they are ALL unsafe... Sure, a bag of potatoes can do this now without injury but that's only because it has no choices to make.

Ya and the short term would be CP... I think a canopy pilot is someone who flies a can of peas. So in a tandem jump is the tandem master the pilot in command? Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

Ya... That's when it happens to me and I try not to do it because I tend to pull in a track when that happens... LOL!!! It's only when you think about it that it happens though and YES... it is normal... You are normal... It's fun to watch the other aspect of looking down while tracking though... Watching the ground go past you, not up at you... Then you know you are tracking well... Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

It still flies good! Lands good too if I do a 2 stage flare. Just has a little more of a desent rate as far as I can tell. Of course I'm used to it, not brand new to it. I'm gong to try out the Spectre next... I am old and want a nice landing canopy. Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."

I jump a ragged out PD 210 with burn holes from too much smoke jumping. I had a brand new Triathlon and sold it after 50 jumps. Couldn't land it worth a crap. I can still land the 210 just fine with a little run out in no wind but it is time for a new canopy. Just waiting for PD Demo Days to come by again... Maybe a Spector this time? I think you should have jumped the 230 a few times before you bought it... When I was a newbie I didn't buy a canopy untill I had my instructor jump it but that was 23 years ago. Then I jumped it twice and then purchased it. I don't know if you could get an instructor to jump your potential gear now or not. Most people will allow you to demo gear before purchasing it.

Sports aren't dangerous. People are... The only reason I consider skydiving to be safer than driving a car is because the people you are skydiving with (for the most part) have been trained well and are safety minded. The idiots you are sharing the freeway with are not well trained and by no means safety minded. Like everyone else said, it's as safe as you make it but by no means is it considered a safe sport. Once you leave the plane you have basically commited suicide untill you do something to change the outcome. I recommend that you leave your family out of it untill you have a D license. By then you are considered an expert skydiver and won't care what they think anyways... Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there."

Got out my first log book and as I suspected, there was nothing written in it about landings. As I remember, we were encouraged to do a PLF as part of our training and were not encouraged to do a stand up. Although I remember that I did stand up a few of my T-10 landings during my 27 jumps on student status. I stood up my first reserve landing on my 37th jump though. That was using a 26ft Pioneer Lo Po. Very nice little round reserve. Green Light "Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there." "Your statement answered your question."
