Hi Tom, How fun!! Some years ago a bunch of Indians took over the island and agreed to buy it from the American Govt. for "A handfull of beads' the same deal the Indians made for Manhatten Island in NY several years previous. Well, it all faded into a purple haze and the island still "belongs" to the US Govt. So????? now who "OWENS" the island?? Is it Fed. or Strate property or what??? You can have it for all I care!!

Hi HW, 'Guess I'll have to go dig thru my archives of old Scareachutist mags and find the one with the story about that movie jump and as I recall it was Dirty Ed and I'm not sure who the cam was but it was either Kevin Donnley or Ray Cottingham?? Darn these projects!!! Perhaps some of the old Elsinore/Perris Ghetto Rats might shed some info on this subject!! Got your SAG card?? SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi HW, It's George "Dirty Ed" Edwards from Elsinore/Perris. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi Nick, Gary, Hank, Dirty Ed???? The plot thickens, and there was the "Godflicker" who had "Photos" and then misteriously "drowned??" in 2 feet of Lake Elsinore?? Someone didn't want those "Photos" to get out!! Hence the Godflicker became the "Codflicker!!" SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi rh, My wife asked me to make a store run a while ago and one of the things on her list was a roll of aluminum foil. No big deal but there was none on the shelf?? Hmmmmmm?? SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi blueskies, Yup, stow band on the center toe strap and wrap the band around yer big toe before exit. Great in the summer when the weather is warm!! Beware of rocks, gravel, dirt clods and cacktus!! Great on golf course turf type DZ's!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi "P-87," There are "NO RULES" except "Jungle Rules" and so if you want rules, you have to make them up as you go along but don't expect anyone to accept the rules, just break them or ignore them and makeup more of their own and it all gets confusing in the long run so there you have it, "Got That!!!!!"

Hi Howard, Yup, watch "Dare Devil" I think he was trying to invent the Para-Comander but over did it!!!! hahahhahahahahhahaaha!!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi 912, Sorry about your loss. 'Got 5 here in the house. My Angle Food McSpade looks like your Baby but her hair is shorter. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi Nick!!, And there's more!! I always thought it was kinda funny, back in the day when me an' Max Kelly, Joe Crotwell, Nanc Gruttman Ron Haun, Bob Zinn, Jerry Bingston and a couple of others worked at Drugless Scareecraft Co in LGB on the ACES II ejection program we had some fun. A couple of times we got to go forrage around behind Hanger 51 in the "Bone Yard" and man did we find some "STUFF!!" The Plot Thickens!! And although it was mentioned in Scareachutist and/or Cam's Rag, nobody that I know of has jumped or even seen the "Ultimate!!" the "Commandoflexcrosswing!!!!!!" Quit bogartin' and pass the pipe!!

Hi reg, Since jump #1. It was either pack the rig or you don't jump! Also had to have at least some gear. The club had a couple of reserves (Chest Type) and I sniveled a 28' Double L from a friend till I got the mod sewn in my canopy. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi Speed, Rerun "Reefer Madness" if you want a laugh!! I'm not going to say "if you want the truth" as nobody would care anyway. Marahootchie has been around since the cave man and the earliest writings about it that I've heard of was in a Chinese Pharmacopia written by the Emperor Shen Noong some 4000 years ago!!! A lot of pot has been ingested by homosapiens since then and now some 2 minute video on useless tube seems to have the "answer!!" R-I-G-H-T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi Pops, Besides a T-10, would you consider an early 1950's vintage "Fashion Frocks" 28' Orange and white candy stripe C-9 canopy with any of the usual (LL, TT, T-U) modifications and with or without the bathtub dye job a qualifying canopy as you mention with or without patches either sewn on or 100MPH tape????

Hi Lolie, Gotta' old 1983 Django Dragonfly with a blown center cell she can have for shipping $$!! send email if interested. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi Spence, There are getting even pranks and then there's getting even. Depends on what they did. For stupid skydiver tricks all the above posts sufice except for maybe a few. Living well is the best revenge I think is the best. But if ya' just gotta do something, try the potato in the tailpipe or moth balls in the gastank. sugar in the oil is really good if you can get the hood open and the old "auto fooler" fireworks whistle pop bang if you can find any are fun. Tip the bartender to double shot them when they buy drinks and giggle when they get hauled off to go call "RALPH!!!!" then talk real loud to them the next day when they are really hung over!! Last but not least, order 4 yards of ready-mix concrete delivered to their house on saturday morning and tell the driver to just dump it right next to the driveway and they'll take care of it!!!!! Beware though, Karma has a way of catching up with you and evening the odds, so keep your Karma clean!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi divot, Never mind your AAD, transponders for skydivers is probably next!! Beepbeepbeepbeep!!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi NQ, Interesting!,"So, that's what the sky is for!!" Cool beans. All that Troposphere up thare and how few of us really enjoy it. Elsinore is a neat place to jump. There's a lot of Skydiving history that happened there. When you step into the sky over there you have 50 years of the spirit of Skydiving with you. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi Pops, Reply: Rule 5.1.a Been there, done that, it worked, got the T-shirt. The proceedure works good for "Low-speed" Mae West type mals. There was another proceedure that was bandied about back when but fell into disuse because of the consequences!! This involved hanging onto the skirt of the reserve canopy and "Shaking It Like A Bedsheet!!" until it caught air and inflated!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ('ya hav' ta' be real old [like me] ta' remember this one) !!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi Annie, Besides the barn, "ya'll" have ta' trade in yo' leathers and heels for a pair o' cutoff Daisy Dukes 'n bare feet and ditch the whip for a good oak sapling switch!! Also gotta ditch the "Chi-town" speak "fo' sumptin' mo' local!!" Or ya' could do a "Scarlet O'Hara" with a twist gig...hmmmm?? SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi speed, The only "next" holiday worth a shit is Tuesday a week, 24FEB09 MARDI GRAS!! and the week and a half before it!! If yer' not from around New Orleans or are not going then don't worry about it, you won't be missed. If you like to party, and what red blooded skydiver doesn't, that's the place to be!

Hi Andy, Grim to say the least. 'Been plunkin' around this planet for a while now and I havn't seen much improvement! The only thing that changes is the year and the make and model of the weapons and the media recording equipment. SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi Jim, Probably a few, a good bunch of em' are in Air Trash!! From a "fashion statement" perspective it might be fine for some dude with a multi colored mohawk but otherwise no. I do think though that flashy colors on jump suits, rigs and canopys are good for "being seen and collision avoidance!!" Remember "Bounce and blend" colors?? Might still have a "Blast Handle" in the archives, gotta look!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out

Hi Tony, Amazing! Yup, remember thoze daze and before! Funny how things go from the simple to the complex, in reserve proceedures it's just the opposite! From 'check direction of spin, pull handle, grasp canopy and throw in direction of spin, repeat if necesary-to- "Pull red,pull silver!" or as Jimmy said they took his silver reserve handle and gave him a purple pillow!! They did that to get the guys in "SAPPS" mad!! SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out
