  1. Ms Gibbon - just checked a sectional (ask your expert what that means) and I don't see anything on it that says "The Box - all VFR traffic must navigate within this area." Nor do I see anything called an Otter Box. I did see an Otter Box at the Verizon Store so you might sue them for not providing one to Mile Hi.

    Real problems

    Holy shit, most folks that get 40mm up the ass delivered via an M79 or a Bofors and never live to say, "butt hurt". It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama

  4. Lester Bangs, dead of an overdose. These people are not your friends...they fly you around, give you chicks and drugs so you write some sactimonous bs about them. Well played, both of them.

  5. The wife agrees with Swervy. This was Thanksgiving so not really at the end. It just got a little longer. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama

  7. Saw it this morning on the way to work. At first I saw the tail rising up from the south end of the runway as I was approaching on the highway. WTF? Someone really dropped their approach plate and screwed the pooch. Apparently my wife saw "a huge loud plane that didnt look right" last night when she was walking the dog but didn't mention it until it showed up on the news. She said it was low and slow and thought it might fall out of the sky. The lifter was ferrying Boeing parts from Italy for temp storage at the closed Boeing plant here. KAAO handles corp jets and GA. Uses pilot controlled lighting and is usually dark. Someone landed at KAAO as the 747 was inbound to KIAB and the lights were on on a clear night when they called airport insight and were cleared by the KIAB tower controller. It had to really be an oh shit moment standing on eveything to get her stopped as the freeway it just off the south end. Then from other folks, I heard the cops were trying to escort tugs and APUs across town and threr was a tug broke down on Rock Rd this morning. KAAO didNt have a tall enough ladder to get to the door so the crew could get out... They finally got equipment to turn it around and removed fuel until there was only 30 minutes worth and left all the cargo on board. He got off in what looked like 5k worth of pavement. I figured if you can get a B-29 off a carrier, they would do this fine. With the number of airfields in this metro area, this happens more than folks hear about with transients. Indeed Wichita does have pretty good aviation reporting. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.

  8. Ive got it at the house in a book. B&W photo about 4x5 of N34621. You can have the book if you want it. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama
  9. Sounds familiar. The Denver tunnel coach emphasized the hands at 45 too and I was having trouble. It was my first time on back. I went to the Seattle tunnel and the coach told me not to worry about getting the hands arms "correct" and relax and fly back and legs. That worked. I did some of the shooting up too and it is a bit freaky at first and then I would get into a spin and drop back to the net. I kept countering the spin with opposite leg turn but my problem was my hips were not neutral. Once we got the pelvis fixed, I was doing okay. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

  10. Brew your own. Then you can bitch at yourself when you fuck it up or your creativity goes sideways and it tastes like shit. Hey, you will only be out upwards of 20 bucks or so. But if you happen to brew really good stuff like some folks here, even the swoop gods will envy you provided you share at the DZ. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.

  11. School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flight. A place where large egos interface with orthopod skills to increase wingloading through stainless steel implants. Read that book and his transcending fear. Like them both. What is sofpidarf? I understand the consequences... That's why I'm trying to be safe. Looking at X-rays may make me second guess. It's like making a pilot watch airline crashes. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama
  12. Obtain a copy of The Parachute and its Pilot by Brian Germain. Read it over the winter, several times. You can skip the HP stuff. Jump during the winter, cold dense air on a day with snow on the ground is one of the true joys of canopy flight. Since you are a doc, join SoFPiDaRF and check out the xrays of all the people who got the T shirt. It will give you an idea of the price one can pay when playing chicken with the blue rock.

    It was his french maid outfit that gave it away, right? Pretty sure Norman Mclean wrote that one dude in Missoula was into Flapper wear when not on the line.

    Moving to NJ

    SD Kansas is nice 206 DZ. Landing area is long but narrow for students. Not a problem for experienced that I have seen. Make sure you go to their site and input your numbers and wing into the calculator. Jen won't make any exceptions to her WL limits. If you are loaded to high for SDKS, there is the K-State club in Abilene. Pretty fun place to jump. Camping on the river an a college vibe. 182. It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude.
