The solution is easy. Allow all teachers too carry that can legally carry. How many colleges have students caring? How many incidents have come up in those colleges? Enough said debate over....Even the ignorant professor cant argue against that.

How cute! The ignorant liberals will never learn on DZ.... What a bunch of morons! The obvious is there.....here is some reading for the fools out there, there is also a video for the ignorant liberals that cant read

Crap there is still a forum here...... Hope to make it. Still working out the kinks. But I do know that it will be as good or better than last time. What a great place for a boogie, doesnt get any better than Fitz with roaming DZ!

OK, does this go in the logbook as a DC-3 or a C49J? If the latter, where can I make an actual DC-3 jump?

FYI, SDDallas is talking about bringing it back at a latter date.

Hey Jack,

You think maybe it was a C-53 Skytrooper?

This one is based out of Riverside, CA and come with it's own demo team.

Sparky

Could be Sparky, but I really can't remember now. I confused myself.

I do know it had a different type name from the standard C-47.

Hopefully one of you guys down there in Texas can take a look and tell us what it really is. Pretty please?

Here is the official web site for the current owners of the Southern Cross http://www.douglasc47.org/History.html. And a little bit more info http://radiopatriot.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/meet-ww-ii-navy-pilot-bob-fults-and-the-southern-cross/ Oh and she is a beauty! Was a great jump, and only $40.

Just a little. But he can swing on by North Texas if he wants to

Now that's some good beer.

This time tomorrow I'll be driving back with K-dubs from the airport. Then after 5 very long hours at work we'll be on our way down! Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow evening!!!

Does K dub every have her own ride? Wish i could be there this year. Wasnt sure i could have made it, but now i could have went over the weekend :( But dont want to drive by myself.... maybe next year. But if anybody is driving through North Texas let me know.

I plan to get a license will i learn it there?

Find a place close to take some classes and get actual training, skydiving is not really something you want to learn to do on-line.

But you can learn everything online....

Nothing opens like a Deere!

You ignorant fool! Checks are for workers!

Quote

practice this doing solo jumps please!

No he does not need to! That is very dangerous learning HD! I had a guy "learning" HD exit after my 2 way FF and he deploy 20 ft from me while i was under canopy, he sniveled right past me. If you cant afford a couch then find a good FF'er and ask them to be a base for you. Also seen another guy (exit after another 2 way) deploy 100 ft above they guy i was on that 2 way with. He was also learning HD

why are you asking Hunter? Definitely not something you need to be thinking about in this stage of your skydiving.

Quote

I'll show you one next time you are out here, I have two.

Jay you definitely don't need to be encouraging a very young jumper!! Thats all we need is a 100 jump guy go out with a vladi ball!!! Not gonna happen!!

I thought he said he would show him one, i must have missed the part where he said he could jump with it....

Thats great Rich, you will be a great DZO (if your wife keeps you straight! ). If i ever make it out there you better take me to 30k.....

Never used one but have had 2 used on me before.... Speaking of he still owes me 2 pairs of shoe strings.... Damn you Crocket! You old crazy bastard!

here's what happens when you jump out with one grocery bag.

Good vid but the idiot at the end drug his canopy halfway across the landing area

He drug it like 5 ft, cry me a river! They were filming. Besides Chet can afford a new one.....

I wonder if Wendy has been in the sky with diamonds since.....oh the suspense...

I thought the exact same thing. Bet we would in fact see her again..

It was a joke...Wendy is very active in crew despite her "near death experience"

Let me guess. You're the jackass that sent him the PM?

I hope he doesn't get hurt. I hope you're not serious, and I hope he realizes that.

Its one thing to talk about something hypotheticaly, but quite another to outright tell someone to do it!

No actually, I am.

I hope he doesn't get hurt as well, which is why I said take my advice with a grain of salt.

Let the flame war begin. I will stand behind my advice.

You will stand behind that blank profile....
If you really didnt want him to get hurt you wouldnt have given him such stupid advise!

not a good idea at all to ff in a student rig, might want to look into getting your own gear or some tunnel time.

Not always so, my DZ has V3's that are FF friendly, but the OP needs to find out what the container is that the DZ has for "student gear".

Wow Dave thanks for a great set of pics!

Quote

I have PR160 and Storm 170 in mine. No problems packing.

Makes me wander if 150 is a bit small for this rig as closing loop is already quite short.

To the OP i have had 2 V348's both had Sab 2 170's in them to start...no problem packing....
To Antonija...i have a Sab 2 150 in it now and fir is great and some 135's will fit in it also

I still plan on making it. To much of a good time last year to pass up

Then i wont be there.....would have loved to have checked it out though while they have a bigger plane.

when is it

Yea you guys only have to worry when you land on the DZ.....Those power lines sure are big.....
