Who's going to the CASA Boogie at Skydive Southwest Florida next weekend, March 19-21? I know I am. The CASA will be ready Thursday afternoon. DZ Mom's 2 way Cafe is already up and running. Colon Berry and "Paulie" (Canadian Freefly Champion) will be there organizing for the sit and head downers. Flocks of Birdman Flyers! Also, 10 to 30 ways belly formations. Demo Gear from Sunrise Rigging, Aerodyne Research, Hiper USA (Blade and Nitro), Flight Concepts, EG and more! Win great prizes at the Raffle, sponsored by Rigs & Things Paraservice. All the motel rooms in La Belle is already booked, but you can call the DZ at 863-675-8470 for good alternatives in Fort Myers and Moor Haven. Or, just bring your tent or RV. Be sure to be there for the greatest vibes anywhere! Roy Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Just a quick thanks to all of you that made the Westwind fly plenty of loads on Saturday. We didn't plan on having rain all day Sunday, after all this is Florida, but Saturday was all blue skies. Also, the CASA (room for 33 jumpers) will be here on March 19, 20 and 21. http://www.skydiveswflorida.com 1-888-447-JUMP Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Uh this stupid war won the freedom of all of Iraq....Ended the reign of a ruthless evil man that supported terror against the world. Hey, and it may drop gas proces also...I drive I like cheap gas You drive on public roads???? Or do you just walk everywhere? When was the last time you had to defend your house with a weapon from invaders? Sounds to me like you are getting a part of your tax money back. ---------------------------------------------------- Dead Americans to get cheaper gas, wow.... that's the spirit! How about the not so fortunate families, that do work hard, many holding more than one job, but there is still no money for surgery for their sick kid. I'm done with this thread! Just pisses me off that so many people can't see the future problems we'll have from this "bible class of an adminsitration". Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

You talk about "our fellow Americans" and then talk about "your president". Some of us would rather vote for the Dixie Chix! Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Pretty sad, isn't it? When was the last time you visited another country? Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

I have and I like what I have. Bush is doing a good job. These "issues" you are bithching about have been around a lot longer than just Bush. And we have a system of government that does not lend well to socialist programs. Its not iin the nature of the founding of this country. I like what I have too. I have more than most people could ever dream of. However, is it "bitching" in wanting our fellow Americans having a fear share of the money paid in to the system as tax payers? Is it better to send the money overseas to rebuild a country most of us would never set a foot anyway? Screw Iraq. Is it so hard to see that this stupid war is a financial gain for only a select few, after the rest of us took care of the financing? That part I do not like! And that your President is lying to all of us, do you like that too? Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

"If I'm going to blast him for marching into Iraq (which I think I've sort of mildly suggested at one point or another), then I have to praise him for giving some aid when it's needed for humanitarian purposes." How about some "humanitarian purposes" for the American people? The money wasted in Iraq could do miracles for the laughable HMO health coverage plans in this country. But, we're "number one", yahoo. What a joke. Wake up America. Take a look at the rest of the modern world. Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Please, can someone come up with one good thing Bush has done for this nation since he "took" the white house? I can see a few people with the blinders on, responding to this thread! How much do you guys want to pay for the so called Iraqi freedom? Not to mention all the dead American soldiers. Oh, weapons of mass destruction. That was the reaon for going to war, right? Hello....., lights on, but nobody home! Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

A very good point. Your instructors did the right thing! As a matter of fact, it's part of the AFF Certification Course to always meet the student at the landing area. It's their job! At some dropzones, it could that some instructors are just getting a bit lazy these days. Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Planning a trip to Florida this winter? Not sure if the "bigger" dropzones around the Sunshine State is right for you? Tired of Sky Gods? Want to be on the fun loads? Looking for a friendly professional staff? Want to be treated like family? Here's a suggestion: Skydive Southwest Florida at Sundance Farms, just outside the little town of LaBelle, could very easily become your new winter home. (or permanent). Open 7 days a week, this DZ is nestled in a beautiful country setting on a private airport. Oh, by the way, full time Twin Turbine Aircraft. Check it out: www.skydiveswflorida.com Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Our Turbine Beech Westwind will arrive for the weekend of November 15th. Fast, comfortable and roomy with a huge door! Come on down and check out our tropical paradise, here at Skydive Southwest Florida. Only 30 minutes to the beach, and less than 15 minutes to 13K in the Beech. www.skydiveswflorida.com Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Just a quick thanks to all of you that came out on our first weekend. Saturday was windy and turbulent, but Sunday arrived with perfect conditions. We know that many of you are waiting for the Dual Turbine Westwind to arrive. It will be here for the weekend of the 15th. Come on, check it out! Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Hi Y'all, It's finally a reality. Skydive Southwest Florida will be open for business starting Saturday November 1st. It's really a nice place, 6 short miles north of the beautiful little town of LaBelle, at Sundance Farms. We're also only 25 miles from Fort Myers and the white sandy beaches of Southwest Florida. The C-206 has already arrived and the Twin Turbine will be here at the middle of the month. It doesn't matter if you're just starting out or have thousands of jumps, you'll soon discover the southern hospitality, yet, a very internationally inspired DZ. With over 40 years of experience in owning and operating dropzones around the country, we're certain that your stay will make you come back again and again! Hope to see you soon. skydiveswflorida.com [email protected] Safe Skies. Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Didn't you just contradict yourself there? Are we losing or making money on Iraq? Not at all. Quote: Are "WE" losing or making money in Iraq" end quote: The few Washington selected "bidding" companies are the ones making money in Iraq! Not we as a country or as individuals. PS: Of all presidents tested, Carter scored the highest as far as IQ level goes. Wonder how our man from Texas would do. Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

The economy is up? That's news to me! A president we can trust...wow! Yes, we can trust that we're sinking deeper every day. Iraq is being rebuild,.....at what cost? 87 billion? Probably more than that. Who is paying the bill here? Who ever asked me if I want to spend my tax money on rebuilding this sandhill. $87 billion could do wonders for my HMO! Everything can't be fixed "Texas style", just so a selected few with the help of Whashington can stuff their pockets. And what about the reason we went to war in the first place? How about all the families of our dead soldiers? Soldiers dying for the sake of profit. Time to get the blinders off! Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Hi Nathan, I heard the rumor!!! Good for you my man. I was still working a full time job when I started the gear store. Took me two over years before I could tell the boss to.....you know what! Just don't get into it for the money!!! I'm still driving my old Volvo. Get into it because this is what you want to do. Have fun and don't look back! I still owe you beer. Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

You should easily qualify for a Tumblefuq. Just show them one of your specialties.....Slalom-swoop around the power-line poles!!!! That's why I use just for men....to cover up all that gray hair!!! Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

The Wings is now .... (Sorry Roy: No advertising in the forums. Thanks. Sangiro) Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

If, or when it will be available for the US market we will most certainly have all spare components/parts available for this rig! We have asked PISA for a a possible release date, but so far they have not indicated any concrete plans for the US market! I will continue to "bug" them as long as the interest is "up there" for this rig. In the meantime, check out our July specials: Wings Aerial System is 30% off, and get free tie-dye!

Hi Folks, Actually, I do know what I'm talking about (most of the time anyway) when it comes to gear sold in todays US market! After all, it's how I make my living so I can skydive all the time! If you own or buy a Teardrop made by Thomas in Great Britain, then chances are you can use it in the US! However, be sure to check with your rigger before spending any money. However, if you get one from a "dealer" that got one from PISA, and he or she sell it to you, then it will not be TSO'd for use in the US. My company deals directly with PISA on a daily basis, so I do believe we're up to speed when it comes to gear manufactured by them! Now that we all are on the same level.....you may ask why is it that the Teardrop made by PISA, is not TSO'd for use in the US? The answer is that PISA wants to do some more market re-search in the European and the African market with this rig before spending time and money with the already floded US gear market! Rigs & Things will more than likely be one of the first the first companies to sell this rig, if or when it hits the US market. Please feel free to e-mail us anytime should you have any other questions about any type of gear! Safe Skies, Roy. Don't Pull Low....unless You are!!!

Just for information: Yes, this canopy was part of the bulletin.

The Infifnity is as good as anyhing else out there. The people involved with this company are rock solid people. All the gear out there today will do the job, it's a matter of your personal choice and pocket book. Go for it!
