As an ex instructor, I can tell you for sure that the life of a pro skydiver is, except for a tiny minority, an austere one. You'll be able to hack it for a while when you're young, but over time, you'll be less and less able to absorb the fluctuations in income and the vagrant nature of the "industry". Following the sun and living the DZ dream sounds good now, but in ten years are you really going to be able to manage when you get rained out for two weeks or indefinitely when the DZ you work for folds? Living in a tent or a car or bunk house might sond good now, but the ladies will, over time, become less and less impressed too. Finish school, get a good job and pay for the dream up front. Then go home to your house and GF ( or SO ) and tell them what a blast you just had. ETA: Or better yet, take that engineering degree and get hooked up with a parachute maker or designer.

Why the water landing? Makes about as much sense as the rest of the 1960's psychobabble. Cool old school Elsinore though. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

I remember many fun jumps with him and the Wednesday warrior club at X-Keys. He will be missed. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!) AA #2069 ASA#33 POPS#8808 Swooo 1717

I jumped it a few times at WFFC. Very cool ride and a fun jumpship. HOWEVER, without some kind of high profile, large scale event like the WFFC, isn't it really a plane with no place to fly? I mean I love the thing, but I would never pay that kind of $$$ to jump it on a regular basis. And I don't know if any of the regional scale boggies would be able to support it. I'm deeply sad to see it and the WFFC go, but reality is a bitch. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink.

Because biology isn't equal. The woman bears the result of sex and therefore should have the final, and only, say in the matter. If you were the one who got pregnant, you'd understand.

Yep. +1. And I'm a retired firefighter/paramedic, my brother is an active duty cop, my father was an MP, his brother was US Park Police, my great grandfather was DCPD. The cops are out of control. They no longer serve the interests of public safety and only serve as oppressors. The courts are just as bad if not worse. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

Abortion AND birth control ON DEMAND, with no apologies or regulation. If you have a penis, you don't get a vote. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

Nope. That's clinging to an obsolete design. It's not optimal distribution and has a problem with trailing throttle oversteer that they've never fixed. That's why BMWs and Ferarris dominate. They were on a good path with the 928/944 series but abandoned it in deference to the 911 design. It's like a model T with new sheet metal. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

They haven't made anything I've been interested in since the 928, 944S, 959 series. The current line up is shit. Clinging to an obsolete design for some reason. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

Best: Rush, 86. I swear that one of the tracks on "A Show Of Hands" was one that I was at. Captial Centre, Wash. D.C. Worst: Heart, 89, Bad Animals tour. Shitty seats, shitty sound, Ann was so sick she should have just lip sync'd it. And far too many bugs. Best part about the show was the show in the parking lot with the drunks getting it on in the back of an 86 RX-7. Didn't think that was possible. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

There is nothing you can do for him. Walk away and save yourself. If you feel you must do something, reach out to his son and try to help him.

How so much bullshit can be packed into such a small article is beyond me. This writer has obviously, painfully obviously, never sat through BIO 101 or MICRO 101.

I didn't read the article, but I'll take your bait anyway. So, for the sake of this argument, I'll take the postition that we liberals have failed to make any progress agaist racial discrimiation and that affirmative action is the failure you think it is. What then? How would you solve the problem? Go back to Jim Crow? Segragation? Separate but Equal? Apartied? Let's hear it. Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway...

No place I'd ever consider working. A company that depends on pushing the envelope, new thinking and out of the box projects, won't be a company very long with that kind of ideology.
