  1. Yes Get the container serial # and E-mail the manufactor for the specific's, also have your body measured by the opposite sex for your harness size.
  2. Hi Astor Thanks for the pic Looks like a Low tech spotting device stowed above the door Or is that roll of toilet paper for the long flt to altitude
  3. 16 sleeps for me, but at least I'm getting there
  4. Hi Z Every DZ treats their customers differently. Maybe you need to spend a little time visiting some other DZ's and see how they treat their customers, train their students etc compared to the way you were treated. Take a chair, pack a lunch and watch the show. You might find another DZ that you have more confidence in than the one you described.
  5. Hi B Her? Thats shorty. The taLL women in the PNW can touch the top of the tail of a twin otter flat footed.
  6. Hi John Thanks for the pics and observations. We've already done the goony bird and twin beech and wouldn't pay any price to jump them again. But I would pay the $46 (once) to jump out of AN2. Rate of climb take a book to read
  7. I didn't get that feeling at all. Being told that you aren't allowed to track would make me ask questions too, as would waiting 3 hours to get set up with gear. If you folks see this guy as a problem customer I hope you NEVER find yourselves in a service job, and if you do I hope I never have to be waited on by you
  8. Hi A Stop that shit!! Your rubbing it in I would luv to Jump at Mt Vernon but the drive from the south end of the metro plex to the north is to challenging for this short old fart. In a perfect world we should be able to cut a nasty 2 hr drive to a 20 minute airplane ride by setting up a air taxi service flying the northerners too the south end DZ and returning with the southerners to the northend DZ. Weather permitting we could even jump in at both ends To bad some adults would always be late for the plane or not show up. Unless they payed for ticket in advance via CC
  9. Beware of mechanical devices Someone landed this weekend with a new alti that was checked with other alti's on jump run 13'k AGL and 1000' BGL on landing Zero your altimeter on the ground, never in the air with another altimeter! Never! Hi JC Of course

  11. Hi Cliff QuoteYour experience Might be due to the difference in your position in the stick, We were at the ass end of the next to the last stick and by the time we got to exit there was plenty of seperation. Did you land on the airport? We landed WTF off, next to the road. Quincy folks were real nice No walking Me bad difference in seperation could be due to 727 vs DC-9
  12. Hi FC Atta girl on the troll, subtle but effective IMO A solid 7.5
  13. Splat There's lots of DMV employee's working there, just because one says no there's always another or the "no" person will eventually "move on" Don't give up
  14. Hi Bozo When your boss isn't around I'll hit you up for some first hand info about the dynamic duo aka . Get to meet Tree and Bozo at LP
  15. Were you on any of the 10 way comp dives out of 5 cessnas, or Ruckert's 55 ways? I remember hearing ATC over the speaker advising a United about a "flight of 15 cessnas, 10 O'clock" Hi Harry I remember being on the ground at snohomish with the boss, seeing and hearing the 15 cesnna formation flying overhead. Well worth the price of admission and a cheap date Can't imagine what a Formation of Bombers over europe would have sounded like "back in the day"
  16. Its just as nasty and ugly as always. Nasty and ugly enough that Larry and Lillianne Hill banned him from their dropzone for life. It was nasty and ugly enough a long time ago It's got to be a lot worse by now If it's the swinging sack I'm thinking about (Black T-shirt vegas outlaw skydivers logo) sitting at the bar and turning your back would require wearing a hat.
  17. Hi G Anyone know what happened to The blind jumper from oregon maybe his name was Blind John? Little big man from canada Eh
  18. Hi 666 I was going to ask you how tall your puppy was until you posted the second pic
  19. Bummer ... if I got post 1000 I would have flashed all y'all ... Hi 666 Later with the flashing
