  1. Lee, (It has to be you, Jim would just pop me one in the eye) I did not IMPLY I would be in the shower!. I drew upon my youth! It may have been in the past, but not that far back I couldn't remember it. What are we talking about? Week of the Eagles is May 17 to 22 so you two know, ...you know. Matt Oh shit I owe beer! NO MISSPELLINGS! An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  2. Hey stop will ya! I found where y'all is sending that excess belly, and I don't want any more! Retirement prep as added 12lbs! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  3. Today was "travel prep" day for me. So plenty of time to surf. The rigs and clothes are packed into the Avalanche and tomorrow I will be at Skydive Atlanta joining my Team mates on the Screaming Eagles as we train with my old Team the "Silver Wings". A week of the C-12 at 14K. Then a UH-60 for a Demo and a C-17 for training. Then back to the FTCKY AO for 3 C-130's and 4 MH-47's. Oh! the agony of this job!

  4. The reserve pilot chute is spring loaded, yes. I happend to use 1 one time. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  5. I think NBC is as close to the middle as the media can get (imho). Fox way right, CBS way left, ABC almost way left. I prefer the middle (for news at least). Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  6. You seem to be talking to your self! But on face value I see no problem with it. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  7. What is going on there this weekend (specifically Sunday DAY time of course) and through the week? I will be in town with the fellows training with the Silver Wings crew. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  8. Screw all the matching cloths, in the pic he has matching SIDE BURNS! Glad to see the Happy Men in the Dalailama Relm. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  9. Congrats! Yeah, he does look just like you, same look of concentration for the swoop, same hair style and all. Sleep comes when they hit the pre-teens and then goes away again till they graduate HS. Make sure you teach him to bob and weave, if his girl friends have a Dad like me he will need to know his IMT.

  10. 19 of 20 Need to deal with the real ones on the couch and not look at the ones on the net. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  11. Just following your lead. I may be old but my mind, Damn what was I doing? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  12. Whats up Kirk! Wooo hooo! Big ways at Raeford and a Wind Tunnel and World Champ a retiree can use! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. I too have spoken with Scott and think he and his Corp are headen the right direction. If the volume stays high like an M-18 and temp stays cool like the "skydiver" smoke he may even change what the U.S. Military buys in the future. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  14. When I was stationed in Alaska my PLT SGT had a Hundia (sp?) and we happened to be zipping to a meeting at the near by AF base. We saw a moose just a standen' in the road and the PLT SGT tried to stop. We ended up sliding up under this big Ole' Bull Moose belly and he just "layed" on the roof as we slid another 20 or so yards off into a ditch. Once in the ditch we pitched a bit nose down and stopped hard. The moose slid on to the hood stood up and gave us the look that said "dumb ass PUMP the brakes not stab 'em" and sauntered off into the woods, unharmed. The car? Totaled.

  15. The NASCAR Viagra Team hires a new "Hauler". Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  16. Well yo uactually got the "Good Example" attached to you. One of the fellows said you must be extemely calm too, since you didn't "strangle that Mother F**ker with his bridle and film it with his camera helmet". Glad it did work out for you and hopefully the other fellow learned a lesson as well as all who now know about it. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  17. My multiple vote was; There is GW, to a small degree it is affected by us (but it is a cycle if all these leanring channels on cable are even close). Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  18. Don't know about the "led us to the super bowl". It is more like he is starting in the super bowl his team mates and Coach got him to. On the other side of the field Manning had to do the same. But Manning is the better QB. It will come down to a Team effort by the Bears to beat the Dynamic Duo. But if you look a tall my predictions this post season I have been WAY OFF!

  19. The out door was built for pure tunnel rats, but is still viable for skydivers. The L-1 has the ability to drop a tube in place and then you have the walls for the vertical reference. I think the cost is lower but am not positive. I also believe that there will be indoor L-1's in the future. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  20. Alpha Mechanical in Dayton Ohio made the L-1 (AAC) in Waynesville NC. Less expensive I do believe and every bit as good as any other design, maybe even better, as it doesn't need a sealed chamber to fly in. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  21. Rest easy Jeff. Fly forever free. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  22. I used your story and picture for a little "hip Pocket Training" yesterday. It opened a few eyes to the newbies on the Team. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  24. Actually I think they found the right guy. I watched all of his testimony and served with him. I think he will do the right thing for Iraq, and that is more important (to me) than the politics here. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
