    Okay. Here's a little taste of what could be if Jean does her 100th Nekkid. She was smokin at the lingerie jump at The Farm this year.



    New Years day? Sounds like a great way to ring in the new year!

  5. Why I bought a Vector. in no particular order except for 1 - 4

    1. skyhook

    2. Short main closing loop - less to get caught up on something though unlikely

    3. thoroughly protects bridle from pin to boc

    4. The way the main and reserve flaps close

    5. Comfort

    6. Customer service - the best in my book

    7. Wide chest strap - holds better and is more comfortable.

    8. Bill has done a lot to increase safety in the sport (he gets nothing for developing the 3ring release/BOC/etc)

    9. Other rigs copy Vector features - why get a copy when I can have the original?

    note: not knocking any other rigs

    I don't think Ron deserves the blame for dragging this thread into the muck. Before the exchange became so heated, he was simply defending the right/ obligation of the police and FAA to investigate the accident. In doing that, he was also setting his own personal feelings aside and suggesting others do the same and look at the whole situation with more detachment.



    I mentioned no names. The "you" was used as a general term. I support his right to his opinion but at some point you have to say this is not serving the greater good. (the mods did issue warnings) The community at large would have been better served if the comments were kept on the positive side. note: positive does not mean supporting one view over any other.

    Whether locally this has become more of a witch hunt than an investigation is really a separate issue, isn't it? One that most of us are not in a position to comment on as we are not familiar with the local politics.



    I agree. And as such we should not be discussing it. This serves no purpose other than to inflame the issue and create hurt feelings.

    I don't think we should be debating guilt or innocence nor it's meaning here. I close by saying negativity is sometimes best kept to PM's. Other's opinions are just at important as anyone else's but we really need to think of how we can best support the ones REALLY involved in this tragedy.

    Blues to all,

    John

  7. There is much more going on with this than many of you know. I know some of it but will not say due to the ongoing investigation. I will say I support Rhonda and her support of Bill. I do not think she is being emotional or blindly loyal by telling it as she sees it. Many opinions are based on fact. As to the comments of some others, maybe you should listen more and talk less.

    Besides you denigrate this horrible tragedy by dragging this thread into the muck.

    I think the mods should lock this thread as it does not seem to have a good purpose.

  16. I support RL on this. There is a reason he was called Bill "by the book" man. He is one of the best pilots I know and I trust him 100%

    Screwball DeLand PD. There are so many things wrong with what they're doing, I've lost count.



    Being a little hard on them. Maybe this is too close to home for you.

    Before people jump my shit, I knew Gus and know Buchmann.

    Bill was flying a plane that hit a person under canopy. Accident? YES. But a person under canopy has the right of way being that they are less able to get out of the way than a plane.

    If the police think that the pilot was acting in a reckless manner they ask the DA to bring charges. If the police do not know better they would rather mess up and ask the DA to bring charges than do nothing and maybe let a criminal escape.

    Not saying Bill is guilty of anything. In fact he is one of the few pilots I trust 100%.

    Do you really expect a cop who has no interest in skydiving of flying to know all they need to know about flying? Many people on here making comments of how "stupid" the police are are not much more trained or knowledgable in aircraft ops than the police.

    Most are just knee-jerk reacting and jumping to defend a friend or fellow airman. Yet they claim the cops who are trying to do their job are "stupid".

    Do I think Bill is guilty of anything? NOPE.

    Do I think the police are trying to do their job? YEP.

    Do I think that some people need to relax and trust that if Bill is innocent, he will be found innocent? YEP.

    The cops are just trying to do their job and knee-jerk reactions yelling the cops are stupid don't help.
