He should be suing the buyers as well, he has added just as much as the next car driver. I would hope this will be tossed out on its ear but seeing where it was filed I am not holding my breath. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Lots of Iraqi's (I don't know about the most comment) want a 3 way split. Only Saddam supporters happened to be steadfast on holding a unified Iraq. But this is only from talking to maybe 50 + or - folks in each reagion and having them say "We want.." a lot. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

The first few x-games featured skysurfing and freeflying (may be wrong on that, but I do remember the skysurfing). I do not know how much it helped out the sport though. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

The sport is far safer than the accident reports are leading you and your family to believe. Take out jumps that involve no student training at all and then you'll see things are far better. Most (not all, but most) injuries and deaths involved EXPERIENCED jumpers who made a tragic (in some cases) mistake. Safety is an excuse that many use to sway their position. Affordablity on the other hand is hard to ignore, if the price is out of reach and a means of funding is unavailable, it is hard to pursue any sport or hobby. If you want to jump and have the funds the only reason not to, is you the individual who has the right to decide for himself. An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Not a flyer yet as I do not think I have the experience. But having spoken with a BMI as to the pre req's forwhe nI thought about starting, I would think getting more jumps to meet what is considered the minimum would be advisable. Then re-ask the question. Right now I think the answer is "experience". An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I too agree 100%, so where is the innocent man the US tortured in the story? I see he was tortured by a country that follows his own religion, but not the one tortured by the US. I missed it please enlighten me. I have been a student of religions for 20+ years, 14 + devoted to Islam, I see no reason to attack the US for torture, unjust deportation, maybe. But why would we actually want to argue the actual mistake? Oh yeah it doesn't fit the swayed and jaded point of view. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I asked a pilot this very question, his answer, "I get paid by the load, and if your still here at 13.5K and I have to spend 1 minute going around, it adds up to a loss in pay for me" I asked another pilot a simular question and his answer was the DZO got mad at the loss of a load or two over the day and lost revenue for the DZ. But it looks like it is a taboo subject . An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Regular risers look small under large canopies. 285 is big enough to make the look happen. The T-I is holding 2 sets of toggles in his left hand and he is 10+ stories up buy the look of the constrcution in the back ground. But I still am not a fan of a "swoop" canopy being used for tandems. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I just figured he would need the speed and power, besides he can always use the gas just a few meters away from him, if it is good enough for your planes... An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

It is a tongue in cheek comment at a DZ. We took a controller up for a jump 2 weekends ago and he thought it was funny to see the sign in the plane. He also told us he could track individuals as long as he was not watching other traffic, so on non UT home game weekends he would watch the jumpers for hours.

I don't, first time a student drops thier feet in an attempt to stand up early, it will be a bad day for us both. Why is this being developed? I just don't see a practicle purpose for it, but I am new to tandems with only 1000 in the last 7 years. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Could be, I had to sign a per diem request for a wheel chair recently, so look for a change. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I don't think it is "needed", but doesn't most all countires have an "official" language? Maybe if we did like all the others it would help our international standing, instead of trying to lead the way, we could follow the pack for a while. An Instructors first concern is student safety.

You have kids that are in college? How the hell does a 21 year old do that? Now as to the original post, I see nothing to complain about, 3 women topless might even be drinking, sounds like male skydiver heaven to me.

I have jumped about the same. It is pretty cool for me since our team was reduced to two people and I had to "work" for the rest of the jumps. Who calls skydiving work? Not me! it is paid FUN! An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
