You'll be surprised how many "small muscles" get worn out doing a day of tandems. Don't be surprised when you are alarmingly sore after a day of tandems despite your current fitness level. Of course belly skills are necessary for good tandem flying, but honestly your HD time isn't useless. On some of the really difficult passengers I've had straight out of the door, relaxing and "going with the flow" has been more beneficial than just arching hard and hoping it'll settle down soon. That's where your HD exit and flying skill will help you. Best of luck. "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

Have you ever made a post that was only about the subject at hand, and not some backhanded personal comment to another poster? I wonder how many other people just skip right over your posts knowing they are nothing more than self-righteous name-calling. So predictable. For the sake of the god you don't believe in, please add some substance to your posts. "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

At what age is a fetus a ten millimeter wide clump of dividing cells? Do you have any idea what a 24-week old fetus looks like? I'll give you a hint...much more like a child than a clump of cells. Hell, Dr. Tiller here in Wichita would even abort into the third trimester. Do you know what a fetus that old looks like? "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!"

So you think women should undergo an intrusive and humiliating experience in order to exercise their Constitutional rights? Clearly you are a foot soldier in the War on Women. Clearly you are a foot soldier in the War on Unborn Children. See how easy it is to make stupid childish assumptions? If you ever wore a condom, or had sex with a woman on birth control, you too are a foto soldier in the War on Unborn Children. Those prevent conception, they are not facilitating murder. Evolutionary purpose of sex is procreation. Interfering with it reduces the number children being conceived and born. It really is no different from abortion. "really no different"? I do not see how preventing conception and killing a child are the same thing. Sure the end means is 1 less kid in the world, but one method involves death and the other doesn't. Hardly the same thing. "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

Nevermind, been discussed already. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=4557883;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25; "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

What's the deal with this? I don't know Simon personally but I've talked to him before and never got this impression... https://vimeo.com/78694904 "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

That's the one, thanks! "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

Not me no, I don't have that kind of change laying around. But I bet Cessna will give me a super nice commission for getting a sale "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

Pssssh, I can make that trip in 4 hrs. *Sales pitch* So, who's interested in a Citation X? "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

I saw those on google images but no. This one was a smaller plane, 182-ish size. "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

Yep that's it, a big gashing hole down the side of the fuselage. "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

I few years back I saw an old photo (black and white I believe) of a jump airplane after someone had a premature deployment in the airplane and was pulled out through the fuselage. Anyone know what I'm talking about, and where to find it? A few google searches turned up empty for me. "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!"

If you're interested in taking your own alcohol on board, google Rum Runners. They are catheter-like bags with a plastic cap and cheap. Pour in alcohol, squeeze out air and put on cap. They can be rolled and folded and twisted into whatever shape you want. I rolled mine and put them in my toiletry bag...they look identical to toothpaste or shampoo bottles going thru the x-ray. Work great for other things like concerts too! "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

Are you planning on replying to the article linked above, or just bad mouth anyone who cares to actually stay on topic? "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

Of course they can, I'm not saying it's one-sided. But to the uninformed, uneducated voter (which is A LOT of them), who do you think they are most likely to believe on TV? Some republican dude they've never heard of, or the president of the united states? "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

Just had my first chop this weekend. Tandem on #986. Normal opening but broke both center A lines below the cascade. I was surprised how smooth it all went, in the reserve saddle at 3,500ft, but it was a pretty good adrenaline dump that's for sure! [inline GOPR5673a.jpg] "Are you coming to the party?

And I know lots and lots of people whose main reason of approval for Obama is his skin color. Sadly it goes both ways. "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

Last time I checked, 37 > 24 And Obama is not up for re-election. The members of the House are. Good, you can still do math. I didn't say 37

Only in your world would you defend 37% by saying "it's a lot better than their 24%". You've got a 3" dick, but fuck it's a lot longer than that guys' 2" dick, right? I've never seen a standoff that only involved one person/party. That wouldn't be possible. It takes two to tango...and have a standoff. You have one side that said "this doesn't work, it needs changes now or the answer is no" and the other side who says "nope we won't change one bit. Take it or leave it." Wouldn't you agree that if either side decided to compromise, progress would be made? I disagree with the idea that it is predominately republicans that are responsible. I wonder how different that 24% number would be if Obama didn't get on national tv and "it's those fuckin republicans I tell ya, it's their fault this is happening." How many people have zero observance of the world around them and take everything from the news? Maybe if he would keep the partisan bullshit out of it and tell congress to grow a pair and sit down like adults and come to a conclusion. This partisan crap is running this country into the shitter. If these people would grow up and quit bitching like 5th grade school girls, maybe they'd understand that EITHER side could end this. Congress has become such a dick swinging contest that none of them even know what they believe in anymore...all they know is the other guy is wrong. At this point I'm just as fed up with dem congressmen as I am with republican congressmen...and I wouldn't want either one representing me. "Are you coming to the party?

Many other people have touched on the point that the aircraft should be able to fly just fine on one engine. I work in experimental flight test; we frequently and purposely kill 1 engine and perform single engine climbs, descents, emer landings, and field performance while operating single engine. I frequently ride on the airplanes while we do it. Looking out the window and seeing one engine inop would not bother me to the extent of the normal jumper I guess. Why do none of these flights end in a firey ball like those pictures? Why do you think the incident was so bad? Because the aircraft lost an engine? Or because the pilot landed it in a forest? I can assure you, if you're over an open area with one engine inop at 120' (and a decent pilot), your overwhelming odds are to stay with the airplane. Just because this incident ended up with an airplane hitting trees and catching fire does NOT mean that is the norm for this scenario. Quite the opposite actually. "Are you coming to the party?

It's not fair to look at pictures of a crash and use hindsight to say you would have exited the airplane. What if it landed softly in a field straight ahead and everyone walked away, then I show you pictures of the aircraft sitting there and say "Would you rather jump at 120' or ride this airplane to the ground?" You have no idea if a crash is imminent, or a normal emergency landing. "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52

If you don't take the plane down with you, I find it incredibly hard to believe that you've have anything resembling a parachute above your head before impact from 120ft. "Are you coming to the party? Oh I'm coming, but I won't be there!" Flying Hellfish #828 Dudist #52
