  1. If he tried to enter an Employee Only area, then he stepped over the line. I don't know if it is the employees responsiblity to stop him, but I would appreciate it if he did. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  2. I've read this whole thread and I don't get your point either. It seems like you have already done something or planned on doing something and are all pissed off that all the experienced people are telling you it would be stupid and very illegal in the US. Are you looking to try this stunt in the US? Are you looking to get a pilot in a lot of trouble? If you want to base jump, go jump a base rig from a fixed object or whatever they will let you get away with over in Europe. If you want to skydive, then go skydive with a TSO'd rig with 2 parachutes in it. Now, what is your point? j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  3. I did 3 level 3 and 2 level 4's. I had a big problem relaxing. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  4. Are you an A&P? John, I've read both threads. Since those involved don't want to share what happened AND the pictures, all we can do is speculate. When the pictures disappear and the mods are threatened with copyright enfringment, all people can do is speculate. It looks like they are hiding something. If it really was a taxiing accident, what would be the big deal about posting the pictures? J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

  6. You might want to let the Memphis cops know that. When they do zero tolerance - that means ZERO. I always thought most give a +/- till I moved down here. I know too many people that got tickets in zero tolerance zones for 1-2 over the speed limit. The cops usually apologize but explain this is a zero tolerance zone.

  7. Does not matter how much beer is bought if there are people there all week long to drink it. They had the same problem in Thomaston when the hanger turned into an apartment complex. In my opinion, people living at the DZ is a bad idea because eventually they take on the attitude that it is their place and the regular jumpers are invading their home on the weekends. I have seen this at several DZs HALLELUJAH! Damn, you would think if they are going to live at a DZ they could at least, clean the bathrooms, vacuum the packing area, mow the law, etc. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  8. really? We try to get people to do Tandems if they have interest, but skydiving ISN'T for everyone. I would find a new place to jump if that is really the case. Who's the guy holding a gun to your head? Diablopilot, with all your posts on here, I have a hard time grasping you would and could continue to work for such a place. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  9. WOW! I would hate to see if these people ever drove through Arizona. They look like garbage cans to me. J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  10. This should apply to every boogie everywhere! Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  11. Chris Needles is the Executive Director. Glen Bangs is the President. 2 different postions. One is hired one is elected. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  12. Integrity? Horseface Rob? I dont' think so. Really nice guy Rob. When he showed up at my DZ some years ago, a poor broke punk, I took pity on him. He wanted to downsize. I had a canopy that he wanted. I let him jump it while he collected the money for it and after he put 100 or so jumps on it he gives it back stating "I'm gonna buy this on instead". I told him he needs to pay me for the jumps he put on the canopy. He just tucked tail and ran away. Integrity and Rob will never go together.

  14. Hey Billy - I got some e-mail at home regarding Skyride. It was from a former Skyride Employee stating all the dishonest shit they do, and the mention of Cary's brother being a big thug and possbile money laundering going on etc. the senders address didn't look like anyone I knew. Anyone else get this e-mail? Judy] Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  15. I've seen it done with skydiving goggles. I would think it could be done with a scuba mask. I would check with an eye doctor. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  16. It is. I think its called the Bottle Shop and its in Coolidge, AZ. You can buy (drive though too) alcohol, fire arms, ammo, smokes (but no rolling papers - because thats mostly used illegally). Fun to browse in that store. J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

  18. Where can I see the numbers for each type of aircraft for those statistics? Yeah, seems really odd. Back before 9/11 I was paying $10.00 to 14,500ft from a kingair and $18-19 from 13,000 from an otter. I guess the kingair dzo are all independently wealthy. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  19. I totally forgot to mention that. He doesn't give a sh*t about cat-nip...swear to God. I figured a good session with cat-nip would unwind him, but... My cat wants nothing to do with cat-nip either. She does like her cat treats and tuna, but will eat her dry cat food with a plate of tuna sitting right next. \\ Her favorite toys are a pull-up cord and a gay Jeff Gordon matchbox car. But her attention span is slightly shorter than mine. so playing only lasts about 5 minutes. This is my first cat too, so I'm learning all sorts of new things, like, they don't have routines, she is on a 18 or 30 hour day, not sure which, but it doesn't coincide with my day. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  20. Me too. I encounter people every day that feel they are entitled to drive in that left lane as slow and for as long as they want (usually from Marshall County, MS). Of course these are the same tards that won't move over for an ambulance either. I'm guessing they don't know who to read a speedometer. They can go 30, 40, 50, but can't go 35, 45, or 55. Very bizarre. Now refer to the left lane as the entitlement lane. And to Billy, Chris will be coming back through again next week so watch out.

  21. Billy, how do you know if your horn was even working? (chris told me to ask since he is on his way back from Atlanta himself). and no, he isn't driving an SUV - look for the hearse. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  22. interesting because the majority of people I know that actually skydive don't ever look at dz.com. I wouldn't use a poll you found on the internet, unless it can be backed up with real skydivers (not saying people on here aren't - just no way to really prove they are) Also, I would have to say that MAYBE 25% of the jumpers at my home dz swoop.

  23. ***This is not one of the better Bond films, IMO... Agreed. They did a couple things that pizzed me off for a Bond movie. 1st James Bond should not look beat up and have all those cuts and bruises even after taking a serious azz kicking and most importantly - YOU DON"T BUST 007's BALLS. I was actually pizzed off at that part and they could have had more gadgets and gizmos. I want Pierce Bronson back!

  24. My problem is, if I approach someone attempting to be a fast flying canopy pilot and does something unsafe or just plain stupid (fast or slow), they don't care what I have to say because I am not a fast flying canopy pilot (and can we go back to swooper because fast flying canopy pilot is just too much to type). I have asked the more experienced FFCP to talk to said canopy pilots and they usually do, but not all listen - til we tell their Dad.
  25. Yeah, they will comment also when a Tandem has a less then stellar landing but they show more fear when they see the canopies landing especially fast. I'm not totally anti-swooping. and sorry John, you've been doing this long enough to be included with us relic's so don't fool yourself and lump yourself in with "the kids". I know and so do many other on here, that its not just the young ones killing themselves and others. I don't think anyone on here wants to see anyone get hurt. well, Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
