    Gone are the days of leaving your shit lay around the DZ and having it still be there the next day or fatties being burned on the plane and people drinking and snorting piles of blow and doing shrooms all day and jumping, who the fuck to do you think the early freak brothers were and why they had the biggest dope smoking, coke snorting, booze'n & jumping bash around AKA the freak brother convention, you dumbasses think this shit is bad today don't have a clue!

    I wish I could agree with you but I really don't remember a lot of what happened in those days...;):ph34r::$

    I have actually seen people openly fighting about drugs and drug money at a dropzone.:S



    Now That's sad, I was joking and unfortunately you are not. :|

    Like Walt said our little community is a reflection of society as a whole, wasn't always, but times do change I guess. :S

    What J said. Jumping while fucked up is not ok, but I don't care what people put in their systems at night. Theft at a DZ is simply intolerable, and one shouldn't have to worry about being punched while at the DZ, unless they deserve it.

    They deserve it if they steal yer dope! B|

    Just some random thoughts.
    I'm wondering if the oldtimers here....if they did have any real information on Cooper and his whereabouts, would they tell Agent Ckret.

    I'm betting the negative.

    In the very early 80s I knew a couple of longtime jumpers , from the Northwest, who swore they knew who Cooper was. They wouldnt say anymore than that.
    One is now dead and the other has destroyed his brain with drugs (shades of the smuggling days).

    What do you think.....would ya ...give him up?



    You bet, it's Guru! :ph34r:

    That was a totally different situation. You may think getting a lapdance while you are naked and she is clothed is a good idea, but it isn't



    Says YOU! :S:P

    ...or has the tone around the bonfire gotten more sexual as of late? I think y'all need to get some!

    If am crazy enough to hijack an airplane, I am sure I would be crazy enough to jump.

    I reckon he did a clear and pull at 10,000 ft. Then he spent the next few hours riding the storm up and down and landed hundreds of miles from where he jumped. Someone found the dead body with parachute and money. They buried the body, burnt the parachute and made of with the money for themselves.



    Yeah Yeah...that's the ticket! :ph34r:

    I see, was the USAF test done in flight and with a jumper leaving the AC?



    No it was done without a jumper (I believe they used a sled) - the insurance company felt it too risky.


    Probably not the company Duane worker for! ;)

    The pressure bump was caused when the weight was removed from the airstairs and they slammed back up into the aircraft. This caused a sudden pressure wave much like slamming a car door. the air stairs are gravity operated, as Cooper walked further down they lowered but would not lock, when he jumped and the weight was removed they slammed back up.

    This was recreated with the help of the Air Force and the sudden removal of weight from the end of the airstairs was the only way the pressure bump could be re-created.




    Somebody call Myth-busters and do a re-enactment! B|

    landing in a tree was half the problem:

    staying warm through the night was the other problem. ive slep in 20F while only using a canopy (Dry F111). stayed toasy warm. Is it possible to stay warm in wet material from a cheapo ....i believe so but am not sure. im thinking one would be warm...but still wet.

    any experience sleeping in an older wet canopy?

    anyone want to try? fbi man??



    Camp Fire? :)

    My "Yugo" routinely shoots 5-shot groups under 1.5" @ 100 yds. this using factory sights.
    I only use it for fun target shooting. No hunting or competition, just plinking, so power and velocity are moot.
    I don't shoot more than 100-200 rounds per session, a few times a year, so cost difference is negligible.
    Plus the bayonet looks really cool. B|



    Yup, and I got mine back when they were under 90 bucks.B|

  17. Indoor range a couple of weeks ago, the range officer asked a few young toughs to leave after repeatedly telling them to stop holding their handguns sideways and emptying the magazine in a burst.

    Their targets were spotless! ;)

    The 'ME' generation watches way too much TV! :D
