That show is staged.To unreal to beleve..For instence. They just repoed a beamer and Matt is driving the Tow truck.And there's a camera man riding in the beamer being towed.Matt hss to take a piss.Cant hold it any longer.So he floors the tow truck to get to A pisser.And going around a corner he flips the beamer and total's it.Camera man is okay.Matt gets fired.But gets rehired in the next episode.Because he just happens to be in the neighbor hood where there repoeing a car at a paintball center,And they get attacked by a bunch a guys and girls shooting paintballs at them.And Matt comes to the rescue. And gets his job back.So tell me that show is not staged.

Ill just have to stock up on grains,hops and yeast. And keep brewing my own.2 and a half cases of qaulity beer for 20 bucks.And i can make any style i want.

His D license .Is lower than my A-license issued in 1982 A-7590.Hey skydiving is what it is .Expensive.It will never be cheap.You either dedicate your life to it or not.Thats your choice.No need too Trash it.Yeah There are ego's.But there legends in there own mind.No one elses.I just do it for fun.It is not as fun as it used to be.But what else is there in life that gives you a peace of mind like Skydiving?

Who is Howard White?Never heard of him.

Not to mention Inflation.Food. Gas ,Beer.the price of a jump ticket.My wages are not keeping up with inflation in this piss poor ecomony.Im getting less hours then i was last year.I bet There will be alot of DZs going out of Buisness.Even some big DZS.If people are losing there homes by the thousands. Well there not going to have any expendable income for skydiving.

Your Sol.take a week off.Or go broke.because that is how it is going to be.

This will never happen.But just think of the consequnces. if everyone did.It would hit the Oil companies where it hurts.If everyone for one week took public transit.Rode a bike or just stayed home.We could devastate the The Saudis ,Oil companies.And the Asshole Speculators,Who are running up the price of fuel.

Started 1981.In Bamberg Germany ,A retired Sgt Major ran the jump club there.He had something like 40 rigs.100 dolars for training And the static line course,and freefall progression. Use of his gear.The Entire time you where there. We would use Hueys alot.1 dollar to jump all day.That was for the pilots lunch.They would go to to 8500 ft.Also had Chinooks on occasion.After I Got out in 82.Most of the boogies had DC-3s.A Dollar a Thousand feet..

N/A

This would be great.To recruit.just offer all the meth they wanted.they would all jump om the bandwagon. Give em an M-4,Put behind the wheel of a tank. A Sryker vehicle.And they would work around the clock.Just think how fast this war would be over. And all the tax payers money this would save. We Would not even have to feed them.Because there never hungry.And this shit is cheap to produce. Man if i was president.

I bet Hitler could have done a better job Than George W. Bush.Weak dollar high fuel prices. 200 billion dollar war.Isn't life just great.

Well i remember this incident.I lived out there before it happened.Jumped in Sterling.My Rigger was Scott Brady.Heard he went to work for Nasa packing shuttle rigs.And my freind that wittnesedi t.Was working on the roof of a Pizza hut when it happened.And when he told me about it. 5 years later he was still haunted by it.Said it was the worst thing he had ever seen.I know after that Crew guys with 7 cells never mixed with 5 cell swifts. And 9 and 7 cells where also a bad combo.

I know it happened,Im just saying.It was Traumatizing.And i would not want to see the video.. I saw the girl go in at the end of the runway at the 1985 fb convention.And that was stomach churning. But inever got any Phyciatric help.

I'am not sure but this occured around Denver. I think Arvada.They where doing a demo into a shopping center or mall.2 guys under a 7 cell 1 guy under 5 cell Swift main.And around 500 feet they wrapped.All three died in front of the spectators..I remember a news bulletin over the Tv at the time.And the Incident report in Parachutist. I ran in to a friend 5 years later.Who had Wittensed it.He was a non jumper.He said it was so traumatic that they set up phyciatric tents for any one that had wittnesed it..I Thought wow!.He would not B.S about something like that.The Early days of crew Mistakes where brutal.

Rare Earth played at a bar in Des moines.ia IN 85.Right after i Attened the freak brother convention.I got to meet all the band members, I was only 24 at the time.And the lead singer was already all gray.And the original song being Hey big brotherIn there hey day they were with Motown.A band out of Detroit.Quote

The story on Andrhttp://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/gang/dd_fall_of_andrew_c_thornton_ii_the_company/1_index.htmlew tornton

What I remember about Cowboys Caravan Was that new car smell.And i could have swore it had 2 doors left and right.Icould have sworn i got in om the right side and exited on the leftAnyone confirm this?Or Am i dillosionalAnd the brown suit Dave Williams was wering was denim.And he he had this short blond female for a manifestor.Who was really nice.

Yes,that Guy. Do not ever remember hearing about that Hijacking.Very simular to the D,B Hijacking. Until i got sattelite tv.I never new the entire story about Andrew Thornton either.It's great living in an information age.

What about the other hijacker that bailed out over Idaho in 71 He demanded two rigs.Knowing they would have a transponder on them. He tossed them out of the plane 20 minutes before he jumped.Two throw off the feds.And jumped with the rig he had brought on the plane..And was caught weeks later with 250000.He told someone about his plan.And when it was excuted.and all over the news.The person he revealed his plan to.turned him in.It was on the fbi files.He then escaped from prison.I fell asleep after that.He could have been D.B.I never heard about that skyjacking.Or just do not remember it being only 10 at the time.

Okay,But i do not see any mention of the investagative discovery story on Andrew Thornton.Which tells the story in detail.That he bailed out of the plane. Because of his paranoia.Because he thought he was be followed by A DEA plane.It does not mention Dave Williams.But if you do a search on google of Andrew Thornton. Wikipedia.Has an article on Andrew Thornton. And it mentions Dave Williams as being an alleged smuggler.I have not even thought about it in years. The investagative discovery show,ignited my new interest.So if im brining up something thats been posted a 100 times.I apolagize.

I remember being at The 85 FB Convention. And being on a Caravan load.With Dave Williams at the controls(wore a light brown suit,with cowboy boots).At 4500 ft.the engine started sputterng. We Bailed.And it landed with out incident.And flew the rest of the covention.And it went in ,down in GA a month later.Also remember hearing about a jumper being found Dead in someones back yard In Knoxville KY.With 39 kilos of coke.cash,and guns,gold krugerands.And all the runors at the time That Dave Williams was invovled.And finally After watching the fmc channel.They had the story of Andrew Thornton.(The Dead Jumper).But they never found out who the other jumper was.It was speculted to be Dave Williams.Any one know Andrew Thornton?Now how many jumps he had, or where he jumped?Much better story than D.B Cooper, This guy was brutal,His Organization was linked to Killings of judges,And prosecuters.

---------------------------------------------------- Was the other one Herzoanaurach (sp?) ? A german private airport next to the us military golf course? _____________________________________ I think so.Did they have a Turbo Cessna 206? And a Gaushthouse on the Airport?I remember it was just north of Erlangin.Can not remember a golf course.And last i heard a,few years ago .Tom Schafer was still alive.But does not jump anymore,because of a heart condition.I think he would be about 77 today.

I do not no of that club.But i started with the Bamberg club in 81.Ran by a retired SGT Major,By The name of Tom Schafer D817.He had about 40 rigs.And we would jump at Kotterbach,Scweinfurt.Where they had hueys.A dollar to jump all day.And would also go to German DZS.Haasfurt.Spichersdorf. Do not remember the other one.

And another thing.You say theres not many female skydivers you must jump at a smll DZ.Because i seen alot at SDC ,Skydive New England,Skydive Houston.Skydive Dallas.Perris.And the one near me Skydive AZ.You know why?Because there conservtive.There not out to impress anyone. Just to stay away from high testerone Aholes who feel its worth dying to prove There cool.

Well than let me ask this.How many females have died from low hook turns ,And canopy collisions?
