I hear those voices also, and they all seem to be mine. I ride with the window down often. I can't figure out the motorcycle riders with tunes playing loud enough to hear a block away as they pass by.

fastphil replied to gary0302's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia

Is that the issue with the team pics in it. I might have it, but I churn and divest my hoarded stuff occasionally. Or, did you already find one... -
I didn't remember that far back; and that's not funny.

I've had many jumps that got scary as they went along and they only seem scary afterwards, but the scariest of my jumps to make was the first antennae jump with Phil Smith and Phil Mayfield (a philler load). I know it's BASE, but in 1980 pre BASE days it was a skydive with a pucker factor.

Round Parachute Emergency Procedures (Students)
fastphil replied to megamalfunction's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
I was taught to kick my legs to help spin and untwist the lines. I've seen many students start this procedure at exit, presumably a pre-emptive motive... -

What's this arrow s***? 'Back in the day' it was, 'See that field? That is where you should land.' Jerry Baumchen Back in the day = the 60's Then, when I came along ('76) it was, "See That field? That is where you should not land."

AFF student got sick after first jump

I can get motion sickness when I don't have control of the motion. I'm a "manifest my own destiny" kind of guy. -

............................................................................ Best answer so far. Another hint: what happened the last time the Royal Newfoundland Regiment was left alone with a keg of brandy? There was a keg of Brandy????? Saint Bernard dogs are famous for carrying small kegs of brandy tied to their collars. The brandy is to revive avalanche survivors. Yes, I was using a stereotype: keg of brandy dangling from a St. Bernard's collar. I also stereotype Swiss as being great archers, yodelers, alpenhorn blowers, cheese-makers, clock-makers, etc. Other days stereotypes get me into trouble. Well, maybe a cheese eating yodeler arrowed him at the clock-strike. Does that blow your alpenhorn...
