I had a '74 Cadillac Coupe De Ville with fender skirts. Does anybody remember the 70's diet candy called "Ayds"? It had to be pulled off the market, for obvious reasons. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Peachy keen! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Aw, hell. You can do that today. In Hawaii. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

My plate had four lobsters. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

What brand was the shoe? What color were the shoe laces? Did the sole have tread or was it smooth? Was it the proper size for his feet? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Okay, I give up. What melody were these lyrics written for? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

From the Coaches handbook~ 3. All student training and recurrency jumps with a USPA Coach are conducted under the supervision of a current and appropriately rated USPA Instructor. It's going to get a little crowded in the sky, what with a student, a coach, and an appropriately rated USPA Instructor on the skydive. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

You never ask billvon this question? Does billion quote material and cryptically attribute it? I was unaware he did that! Could you please show me a few examples? Billion? Well, his post count IS getting up there. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Hell, I could do that! Well, not the looking cute part, but all the rest? I can be bought! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I preferred the commercial where the pig was Weee Weee WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEing! all the way home, in the car. I mean, really. He can slow down on the zipline to match the other guys speed and then accelerate away? That is just so unrealistic! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Perhaps some of the more vociferous types in a place that will go unnamed need to take that cruise... seems they are constantly droolling in anticipation for that sort of thing so they could spring into action. When I climbed Kilimanjaro we had to have a Tanzanian soldier, carrying an antique rifle, hiking with us to keep away the bands of marauders. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

What he said. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

I agree. I wouldn't want my arms between me and the airbag. The seatbelt I wear is just a tad bit less restrictive than the seatbelt she is wearing. But it is not fists hitting the instrument cluster that she is concerned about. When the car hits something it can cause the wheels to turn and if you're holding on to the steering wheel it can break your thumbs, or worse. edit: I re-read your post and you already mentioned the danger of the steering wheel. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Your 15 minutes of fame! I hope it lasts for years! You have the talent. If you can make it a little less skydiver specific (and with a lot of luck) you might be able to get published in the papers. Between Beetle Bailey and Doonesbury. Go for it! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

No dont do that. Send all your personal information to someone over the internet on a blind request., that sounds like way more fun Hey. It's in print. It has to be real. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

What? They eat for you too? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

A minor Star Trek trivia point. Shatner was talking to trekkies. Trekkers was a term somebody came up with some 20 years later to label the fans of the "The Next Generation" show and to distinguish them from the trekkies, who are fans of the original series. To me the term "trekkers" is pretentious and elitist and I consider myself a diehard trekkie, even though I think The Next Generation is far superior to the original. I mean, really, it had Deanna Troi. Yeah, I'm a nerd. Far worse than Wesley Crusher. p.s. Then again you never heard Captain James T. Kirk say "ALL HANDS ABANDON SHIP! ALL HANDS ABANDON ..." "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Ask and ye shall receive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeS4tVFbNNk The "get a life" part is at the 4:00 minute mark. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Your photo of John Jefferies has him wearing a QB hat. That is a fairly secretive and prestigious group only open to pilots and is by invitation only. If you want to join a club that's the one to join. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Making it a requirement gives it no more teeth than it had as a recommendation. There is no police officer ready to haul you off to jail if you don't obey the "law". It still boils down to the DZO and S&TA to control things at their DZ. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

A burning bush, no so dramatic. A talking burning bush, something P. T. Barnum would die to get his hands on. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

Hey, it's in print. It has to be true. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

A book can do all that? "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

You go girl! Show the guys how it's done! During freefall put your tongue into Vic's ear. Just don't let it get on video. That would be unprofessional. "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."

TVIO is amazing! "For you see, an airplane is an airplane. A landing area is a landing area. But a dropzone... a dropzone is the people."
