    Groundhog Day

    ----------------

    I found a reference I made almost a year ago...and then look what you did. The word associations run deep.
     

     

    consistent

     

    It was a great concert.

    My search was for Point Break. A search for point picked up the noted exchange.

    And as Paul Harvey says.... now you know the rest of the story.

    point break

    (wait, have I done that one before ;) )

    Point Blank

    Saw them open for Lynyrd Skynyrd in Denver '75. After an intro build-up in pitch darkness the emcee yells "Let's give a huge Denver welcome to Blank Point!" Which led to complete silence & O'Daniel says in the still dark arena "It's Point Blank you a$$hole" and then hit a big chord right into their opener to start an outstanding set. Skynyrd was great too.

    oddly: Point Break only showed up once.

    I couldn’t find your pic above but my guess is Pappy Boyington. Correct? Found it. Richard Bong. He was my second guess.The canopy cable should have tipped me off. P-38

    Nope. Much more likely to need a new transmission. I’m at the shop, the guy here said I should most likely just keep on going to the dealer in the next noticeable city, because it’s probably the planetary gear based on what I described.

    Can you use planetary gear to jump on Mars?

    I don't find this that suspicious. People sometimes lurk on forums before joining, and if he wanted to post a question, he had to join, so join then post isn't so unusual. And although he seems to be visiting this thread regularly, he liked a few of the early responses, and last visit to forum was logged a few hours ago. 

    I can see him not feeling like arguing any points. He got some advice, we probably will never know what he decided to do. I for one am glad he asked, and hope he takes a long hard look at the idea. 

    Agreed. 

    There are some very seasoned veterans saying "yeah hah". I hope he listens.

    Sorry but you don't know what you don't know and you should not proceed with this.  Such a jump can be made by someone that is highly experienced, knows the FAA and USPA rules, with a pilot that has jump experience.  It does not appear that any of these things apply in this case.

     

    Just a casual observation from an outside party but 69 Buzzy joins Thursday at 8:38 am, posts this thread at 8:47 the same day and now is MIA on his own thread. Has a smell about it. Has this type of jump been attempted recently and resulted in a poor outcome? Is this a scouting patrol to gather information for use in a different venue? Just wondering.
