  4. Skydive San Marcos. Has a standing policy, naked women go free!!! but we get to keep the Video
  5. We had a problem a few years ago and the solution worked very well. As animals mark there turf with urine we were told to go to the nearest feed store and purchase a bottle of Bob Cat urine and sprinkle it around the yard. Beings Bob Cats are a preditor of Armadillo they hightailed it and we did not have to kill them. My only question was who gets the Bob Cat to piss in a bottle ?
  6. We got it from Hartwood. It has -20's however we are told its a very good climber and after having a Super Otter we found that there just to much airplane for SSM so we think this will be perfect
  7. We do have a bunk room (sleeps 8) + a couple of team rooms, as far as hotels, there is all of the chains in San Marcos Average $40 to $50 a nite weekend rates. Hotel 6, Super 8 a little less I think
  8. Skydive San Marcos has purchased an Otter and would like everybody in Texas to come and have some fun with us this Valentines day weekend. There will be $13.00 jumps all weekend, organized big ways (Belly @ freefly), formation loads, with the Grand Caravan, Wing Suit Camp, Tracking, hybrid Dives.With other things in the works. And as usual beer and BBQ @ night Feb 11,12 & 13th
  9. Hey John, I didn't look at the picture before, that is a fuel control unit and they do run 6 to $7000 for replacement or overhaul. The fastest and most cost effective I have found is a place in Miami and yes Derik is right it is not an "Igciter" box. Him so smart Pricision Fuel control 1880 NW 97th st Miami Fl 33172 305-594-9662
  10. Well john!!! That would be an egciter box, that has replaced igniters on most PT6's. In the $4000. range
  11. $25000 insurance (aircraft) $600000.00 airplane (Low) Employees,water,elec. Fuel $2.00-$2.50 gal facility $100,000.00+ Skydivers, if they can't fuck it, drink it or eat it they will break it and then leave it were they get done with it and then bitch when it not working the next time there they come around (@#$%^)
  12. Skydive Temple be open and flying San Marcos Grand Caravan
  13. Just got off the phone with Rich @ Skydive Temple in Texas, Either Sunday or Monday some one kicked in a door and stole a number of rigs. They ripped off 6 (six) Strong Tandem Rigs several Student Javelins and array of other stuff. Rich will be putting together a list with descriptions & serial # in the next day or so, but in the mean time lets look out for these Rat Bastards and try to get the gear back for him Rich's # is 254-947-3483
  14. For the past six years Skydive San Marcos has invited any and all Skydivers, family and friends to join us and have some fun have a feast and give thanks for the things we have in this country. We would like extend that invitation again this year to all. There is no jumping on this day of thanks however there is fun, food and guns (Annual Skeet Shoot) There is no charge, however you can bring a dish if you so choose. You do not have to be one of our regulars to attend all are encouraged to come meet some new folks and rekindle old friendships. Please RSVP to [email protected] so we can get an accurate head count. Happy Holidays
  15. 4650 ..the very first time I had a packer pack for me
  16. I heard that the largest state contingency (Texas)wasn't even invited or least I don't know anybody that was
  17. It was about 3500 before my first, and have only 3 after 6500. one of which was an intentional
  18. Skydive San Marcos has been shut down several times due to GWB flying into Austin Bergstrom, we have tried to obtain clearance, and even with SSM being one of only two D.O.D certified DZ's in the country they said absolutely not
  19. The original was filmed in Fentress Tx. And the new one was filmed seven miles down the road from Fentress in Martindale, TX. (Fentress is where Skydive San Marcos is.
  20. We have 15 365s & a couple of 330s we jump in no wind and up to 25mph with very little problems. They do boil on opening more than some others but very few line twist and a very low % of cutaways. About 40% of our cutaways are TMs that have just started jumping an Icarus Main. Very low toggle pressure and seems to last as long or longer than most on the market. We have retired several @ 1500 jumps and still have life in them. We have tried PD's, Strongs and the Icarus works best for us. Phil Chappell Skydive San Marcos
  21. And!! there will be a chopper .....$35.00 jumps
