  1. Using the theory that Cooper had been a load master.... He would have had experience dropping cargo with a parachute, some spotting experience could be gathered doing that. Who would have known the stairs on a 727 could be lowered in flight? At some time someone did tests and knew it could be done... who did these tests? It's possible that's where Cooper got his information, either directly (involved in the tests) or indirectly (from someone who was involved). Considering the time frame, the US was involved in Vietnam at the time... did the US government use 727's at that time? The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

  6. Actually it has nothing to do with the 'nice guy vs asshole' debate but rather that women see someone who is nice and polite and automatically think 'doormat'.... but that's for another thread.. this one is drifting off topic enough... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...
  7. No they don't. Vskydiver is very accurate in what I do for her. Being nice and being a doormat are 2 different things. Polite has always paid off for me.
  8. Respect? - yeh right. OK, so in a room full of ugly woman and one hot chick there is no way that a man is gonna hold the door open for em all. The hot chick gets the RESPECT and then door is firmly shut closed on all the rest. BP
  9. There was no such thing as a “uniform” code of chivalry in the Middle Ages. Many people — from successful knights to contemplative philosophers — compiled lists of virtuous qualities, called the “knightly virtues,” which they felt defined chivalry. No two were exactly the same. There were, however, several common themes found in these lists of knightly virtues. By combining these, we have created what we consider to be the seven knightly virtues of the modern code of chivalry: Courage More than bravado or bluster, today’s knight in shining armor must have the courage of the heart necessary to undertake tasks which are difficult, tedious or unglamorous, and to graciously accept the sacrifices involved. Justice A knight in shining armor holds him- or herself to the highest standard of behavior, and knows that “fudging” on the little rules weakens the fabric of society for everyone. Mercy Words and attitudes can be painful weapons in the modern world, which is why a knight in shining armor exercises mercy in his or her dealings with others, creating a sense of peace and community, rather than engendering hostility and antagonism. Generosity Sharing what’s valuable in life means not just giving away material goods, but also time, attention, wisdom and energy — the things that create a strong, rich and diverse community. Faith In the code of chivalry, “faith” means trust and integrity, and a knight in shining armor is always faithful to his or her promises, no matter how big or small they may be. Nobility Although this word is sometimes confused with “entitlement” or “snobbishness,” in the code of chivalry it conveys the importance of upholding one’s convictions at all times, especially when no one else is watching. Hope More than just a safety net in times of tragedy, hope is present every day in a modern knight’s positive outlook and cheerful demeanor — the shining armor that shields him or her, and inspires people all around. Each of these concepts is important in itself, and every one of these virtues is an admirable quality, but when all of them blend together in one person, we discover the value, and power, of chivalry today. Modern-day knights should strive to keep these virtues alive in their own hearts, but, perhaps more importantly, they should work to bring these wonderful qualities out in the people they see every day — at home, in the office, at school or on the street corner. A person who lives by the code of chivalry in today’s world allows everyone to see their best qualities reflected in his or her shining armor. Things such as opening a door, pulling her chair out for her, helping her on with her coat/jacket, etc. are just ways of showing Respect. The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

  21. Checking the dropzone data base here it shows Alaska Sky Sports as the only listed in Alaska. According to their information they do require USPA membership. A simple way of finding out is to just ask. If the instructors have their USPA ratings I don't think it matters if the dropzone is a group member or not.

  23. I can think of a couple reasons why Seattle instead of Portland... 1 - He lived in/near Seattle 2 - He had an accomplice on the ground waiting to pick him up 3 - He drove to the airport and didn't want to leave his own abandoned car in the vicinity of the airport.
