  1. This sounds like a matter for Dr. Phil. Can't you see Jo and Bruce going at it? 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
  2. Bruce wrote It was the CIA FBI NSA again Bruce. Trying to get Jo into another accident that would appear to be her fault. Those holographic projectors can move a white line anywhere they wish. You foiled their plans. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
  3. Jo, Are you implying that Bruce murdered Cossey??? 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

  5. Blevins wrote Ahhh, but there is a middle ground: Bruce's. MK Ultra stuff. Drugs. Brainwashing. Multiple people made to believe that they were Cooper. I don't think that happened but I never would have believed that some of the MK Ultra stuff happened either and it sure did. But I draw the line on gravity. It s a physical law not a preference or an option. If those TM "hoppers" really think they are conquering gravity let them hop out of our King Air 90 at 14,000 ft. I guarantee you that it won't end well if they jump chuteless. I'd be very surprised if Norjack was Cooper's first crime but it's possible. I defended accused criminals for years. The guys with a serious felony charge always had a long rap sheet. Homicide was the only exception. Sometimes a person without a record just snaps and kills someone. But you rarely saw that in heavy duty money crimes. Those guys had records. But as one Oakland PD detective told me: kid, don't ever think you really know criminals. You only deal with the ones who get caught. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

  8. Amazon, I like having whacked neighbors. Keeps the hood from getting too snooty. I live in a neighborhood full of expensive homes but we have a couple of eccentrics who bought 40 or more years ago when it was cheap. These old codgers haven't done any maintenance, have old dormant cars in their driveway, massively overgrown vegetation and peeling paint. My neighbors are pissed and have pushed the city to cite them. In one case they succeeded and the city cleared out all the vegetation as a fire hazard, billed the home owner and will put a lien on his property when he doesn't pay it. I found out that these same neighbors were trying to get me cited for the beautiful rotating ham radio antenna that Snowmman built for me. They failed. So now I'll put up an even larger one just to spite them, if I can get Snow's help. I say leave these eccentric folks alone. Me included. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

  9. Amazon wrote It might be an illusion Amazon. We jump. We socialize with jumpers. We see jumpers as a different breed and better than Whuffos in some respects. But it doesn't necessarily follow that making someone jump converts them into a person you'd like to hang out with. Jumpers self select. Those who don't jump (or pursue some analogous high risk sport) are different. One thing you are definitely right about. Jumping clears the mind. It's like nothing else I've ever experienced. Somehow I don't see World of Tanks doing the same thing but maybe I should try it. I'll do it if Blevins will make just one AFF jump. Or even an S/L jump. Static line jumps always scared me. Too low. Too much ground detail visible at exit. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
  10. Blevins wrote Watch this DC 10 jet air tanker in action. http://youtu.be/JaUDs48h2ns Dangerous indeed. But very few drops are made directly on flaming areas. The better use of the retardant is to apply it in lines ahead of advancing flames in order to contain the fire. I spoke at length with air tanker pilots at Sonoma County Airport when there used to be a DZ there. They came over to join us for beers after sundown. They all had hair raising tales to tell. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
  11. Jo wrote Actually the balloon bombs would have failed their primary mission even with GPS available. The favorable winds from Japan to the West US Coast were in wintertime. The incendiary balloons were designed to set massive forest fires. Wet forests are hard to ignite.

  12. My retired smoke jumper friend brought it's to my attention. Hot off the govt. press. http://wildfiretoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/BoeingPatentApp.pdf No doubt Duane's CB mastermind is the real inventor. These Boeing guys just ripped him off. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
  13. I've been told that the correct name is Tina Bar not Tena Bar. Perhaps you should explore the relative prices of Ag and Sn. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
  14. Jo wrote that Duane said on his death bed: I believe you Jo. I just don't think he was telling you the truth. You've been unable to produce ANY evidence that unequivocally connects Duane to Norjack. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
  15. Jo wrote Prove that Jo. The fact that you communicated an inaccurate memory to a third party who can verify that communication does not prove that your memory was accurate. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
  16. Jo wrote Wrong Jo. You are supplementing a dim memory with facts you wish were true. Such a program even in the proposal phase never existed. Just think of how impractical and unnecessary it would have been. That alone should make you question the accuracy of your memory. Inmates fought fires but never as smoke jumpers. The USFS would have been involved in any proposed program. I'm in touch with old smoke jumpers and none recall any such program ever being proposed much less implemented. Smoke jumper history is richly documented. Nothing in that history about inmate smoke jumpers. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.
  17. Jo wrote There never were prisoner smoke jumpers. There never was a program to train inmates to jump. I've researched these claims Jo and there's nothing there. The kinds of fires inmates were called to fight were not the type that smoke jumpers fought. Smoke jumpers are typically deployed to remote often inaccessible areas to fight small fires before they expand to large ones. Inmates typically fought larger fires that had roads reasonably near. 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968.

  20. Zero evidence that Cooper was the person who wrote those letters to the press. What is truly amazing (unless he was the author of the letters ) is Al Di's deciphering of the exact magazine source of the cut out text. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tS_XP7GekGlB8idOZUK3ffGgcdUyfe3ipR5hFm0p3vY/edit?hl=en_US 377 2018 marks half a century as a skydiver.

  25. Jo wrote Both Sailshaw and Bruce have medical reasons to stay grounded. I wouldn't jump solo after a heart attack or with two artificial knees. I know both guys. Sail is a pilot. I think they'd both do fine as jumpers but prudence dictates otherwise. I would worry about Bruce a bit since he sees gravity as an option not a law. Sail, as an engineer, knows that he who thinks he can beat gravity will make a big impression, literally. Why don't you make a tandem jump Jo.
