Put up a damn picture of something fun you've been doing
Krip replied to JohnMitchell's topic in The Bonfire
Read about the 2014 Db symposium on dizzy. It's held about 30 mins from our mountain, thought about attending. But that thought was over in a instant. Some time peeps can get into anything to a extreme, use poor judgment In the heat of the moment. I try and avoid potential situations like that. One Jump Wonder -

How common are injuries for AFF Level 1?
Krip replied to Neely47's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Tell you instructors about your concerns about hearing the radio before signing up for AFF. Maybe they can give you a radio check before you sign up. If your not happy dont do it. -

Student can't perform in ground practice, what to do?
Krip replied to JohnMitchell's topic in Safety and Training
I scratched from a load at LP on the 10 minute call. I wasn't very current, couldnt do the left hand donute thing in the last dirt dive waiting for the plane. Wasn't fair to the other peeps on the load, or myself. One Jump Wonder -

Property damage in storage - is it even worth contacting a lawyer?
Krip replied to yoink's topic in The Bonfire
Sorry to hear about the damage to your stuff. Do you have a guesstimate on the total damage to your stuff in the unit? I'm guessing your going to need that to compare what the lawyer is going to cost you. One Jump Wonder -
I dont know who that is. But I have a couple of word of advice. Dude you need to shave before you leave the house. One Jump Wonder

I'm all for E mail. I thought 16 yo teens spent all their time talking on the phone. I'm so far behind, I'm to old to try to catch up with new technology, or the old technology. I give up. Time for another nap.

Thanks! Here's the story behind the flag: http://www.floridadiveconnection.com/largest-american-flag-placed-underwater-on-military-vessel-on-4th-of-july/ One Jump Wonder -
Hi pc When I was in the air force as a loadmaster. One method for precision delivery was called LAPES : low altitude extraction extraction system. I think theres some video on u tube. The extraction chute was release by the navigator when the airplane was close enough to the ground that the landing gear was down and locked as a safety factor. The extraction chute skirt was reefed almost like a streamer. When we got close enough to the exact delivery point the navigator had a pickle switch that he would use to send a electrical signal to the cutter attached to the reefing line. The extraction chute would fully open and the load would leave the bird like a freight train, and skid along the ground on aluminion pallets. The whole crew practiced using the system, we only got to use it real world in a exercise in spain. When things got hot in Kha San. Some poor guys from our squadron used it to resuppy the marines. With Mcnasty little people shelling the airfield. Hard to hit a moving target I'm so glad I missed out on those missions

Has anyone considered it could be a message from the other side written by DB trying to give you all some clues. A gypsy might be able to connect you with DB . Just kidding you all need some humor once in a while. One Jump Wonder

See incident forum for the FAA final report on the twin beech that stalled on jump run and crashed. The report contains most of the criteria you may be looking for. And a short history of some of the twin beechs that have gone in the past. To bad about the pilot Do you want to be that guy. Sure is nice of the owner of the beech and turboliner to allow you to use his plane to haul human cargo. I'm sure he'll cut you a good price.And be able to collect on his insurance when the plane goes down. One Jump Wonder

Non jumping partner giving you grief about skydiving?
Krip replied to MrGrumpie's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
When the weather is bad in England make sure you put on your happy face with the kids and boss. Maybe only spend one day a weekend jumping. The other day with your family. The sky will always be there your kids will won't. Your wife needs a break from the kids even on sunny days. Same with your disposable money. Family comes first -
Thanks. I can remember a few years so rainy we thought we should auction off our event to any drought stricken county in the country that wanted have 3 days of solid rain. I showed up for one of those boogies on sunday, you and V weren't even there by the time i got there. Thats jumping You guys still had the raffle, and the great saturday night party. So whats the problem. The local casino is close by and there's always the option of returning by the ferry for a great view of the seattle skyline. One Jump Wonder

You dont need a lawyer, you already know the deal. Have you explored the joints in your duct work in the attic for leaks? Try early in the morning or late at night. It's hot in the attic during the heat of the day. One Jump Wonder
