  4. "AFF's are not big money makers even in the long run."

    Aren't most AFF students former tandem jumpers? And then go onto A license? I can't help but believe the AFF student is a great money spinner. Add to that the money spent in the shop - suit, altimeter, helmet etc etc.
    I think as well as looking after the new customers it's also important to look after the existing customers - definitely from a long term money point of view? ALL customers should be catered for, no?

    Sunnyvale is home to a lot of web based email sites, tracking it to there isn't proof of anything. The typical Western Union scam is based overseas since someone actually phyiscally goes to a Western Union and picks up the money.



    Yes I know what you mean, but that will be their nearest provider if you know what I mean? I tried it on myself, and my friends and it works - try it on your own address and it will too. I then researched if it is possible to track it to the exact address and was told yes it is but not for the general public, authorities can do, police, customs etc - so what I'm saying is that it should be possible to track this person down - especially if I had lost a couple of thousand dollars.
    Yes sunnyvale is home to a lot of email address's, but only to those in the surrounding area, not from Italy, which is where these scams are often coming from. Everything leaves a trace, like I say go and try it yourself and you'll see what I mean. Besides Italians don't say "awesome" - only Americans ever say that, and they don't write perfect English, well thay might do but I doubt it. I'm only trying to think of ways to stop this person, it pisses me off a lot to think he is stealing from others - as if lifes not hard enough?? Anything has got to be worth a try?
    Edit - just to add, I'm not totally sure about this - this is only what I think (more hope) is true.
    Maybe somebody else has actually done something like this before? But I think we should all try and figure out a way to stop it if we can. I guess it just depends on how much it bothers us?

  10. This is the same person over and over again - I know it it because I checked up his ISP address and the headers from his emails - I also checked for the first page in the "scams" section of this website - it came back to the same place on nearly every single one - it's the same person doing this to people on this website again and again. It came back to Sunnyvale in N California - so he obviously lives in that vacinity somewhere. He knows his shit about skydiving too so I checked what the nearest dropzones are to that area too, there's four or five and I bet he frequents one or more of them at one time or he did do. I also researched who easy it would be to find out the exact location, and for a small fee, it can be done. Had I personally been ripped off by this person I would have no hesitation in paying someone to find this person.
    The only way it couldn't be him is if he forged his headers in his emails but I don't think he's that smart - also it's the same IP address every time.
    If anybody has been a victim of his crimes I'm sure there are ways and means to try and track this person down.

    The other day I was at TARGET and saw this guy wearing these ugly blue pants. I just had to show you. Can you believe it?!

    What should you give a woman who has everything?

    A man to show her how to work it.

    The dog, he'll shut up once you let him in.

    A woman who won't do what she's told



    I married a Miss Right.

    Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by

    They want to.

    still think they are sexy

    I use SORZ goggles and wear them somewhat tight.

    After 3 or 4 jumps they start to leave a black ring around your eyes.:D But it's better than landing with one contact.B|

    Accuracy will improve with each jump. Remember you are using a differnt parachute in different winds every other jump. Welcome to test jumping student gear.

    If your target gets lower on your sights as you approach, you mightl fly past it. If your target
    appears to go higher, you might land short.

    Check for traffic and look around while landing.



    Just to add to that - I use sorz goggles too and my wife bought me some very similar ones off ebay called birdz (I think that's what they're called) and they're cheaper and (I think) better quality. Might be worth a try.

    When in amsterdam, I saw two guys riding a moped and they obviously were high or drunk because they ran straight into a pole. Then there was that little girl in italy who was throwing a tantrum and threw herself into a rosebush for attention. The random people in hostels who made weird noises when they sleep. Finding false teeth on the sidewalk in Manchester, England....the list goes on.



    Speaking of Manchester, England - saw two men having anal sex in a hotel bar - absolutely disgusting.

    Pilot 96 in there - Finally found the canopy I was looking for in wingsuiting!! Small and fast but opens great!



    That's a proper tidy set up. really nice.

  23. I had that interview last year, I took piccys of us doing stuff together and that was it, they just looked
    and said fine, whole thing took about five minutes. They just want to see that you're not taking the piss.
    They know if you're genuine or not. The worst thing is the wait, seems like it takes for ages.
    Just to add - there appeared to be a couple of people who CLEARLY were... well lets say they raised an eyebrow as to their authenticity, but I think 99 out of 100 people are genuine to be honest.
