    Hi

    From a dz.com far far ago.

  4. HA!! No Otters in that neck of the woods. Not even a DZ up near Rhinelander. Baldwin or Superior are up that way (sort of), but Green Bay (Pulaski actually) is closer. Accuracy in "Reality TV" isn't at the top of the priority list. It was very accurate in making that Wisconsin DZ look identical to Skydive Chicago
  5. That the advertising dept. at PD is smoking a little too much weed? I'm sure they impressed themselves at least. p.s. Don't come at me with "No such thing as too much weed"
  6. 1. Noise cancelling earbuds or headphones. 2. Your own music, movie or book. 3. Bring on your own water and snack or food so you're not waiting on flight attendant. 4. Deep breath and relax about delays or missed connections. When things go wrong that's when true adventure begins #1 is my "best" tip but the others are easy to do.
  7. Current max. altitude seems to be 128,100 feet.
  8. I like that Dotan song too. It's getting a lot of play over on the Sirius Alt. Nation station that I mostly listen to.
  9. I got a friend request from him today too and I'm not even posting over here in tandem land. I did notice the profile listed the same license as stayhigh, but who knows.
  10. The bigots seem to have gone very quiet. Maybe they are busy in divorce court since their own marriages have been ruined by the rulings -
  11. http://www.globalplanesearch.com/listing/aircraft-for-sale/Lockheed-AC-130/290 Have a spare $2.7 mil laying around? Affordable cargo monster for sale! -
  12. But isn't that why they pay you the big bucks here?
  13. Whichever one of you here works at NASA I would just like to say Thanks!!!
  14. http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/headphones/noise_cancelling_headphones/quietcomfort_20/index.jsp If you are open to earbuds instead of headphones these from bose will absolutely amaze you when you turn the noise cancelling switch on. More comfortable that headphones imo. I also have a bluetooth Phiaton set that is nice for it's bluetooth convenience but the bose has a much, much better noise cancellation factor it you are using them for flying. http://www.phiaton.com/ps-210-btnc
  15. Seems like this was a good public service announcement by the op for the skydiving community. Appears you have chosen to attack the victim for some reason? Am I missing something here?
  16. http://www.shure.com/americas/products/earphones-headphones/se-earphones Very high quality and durable but also expensive.
  17. A 7 year old thread resurrected, sometimes that should not be possible.
  18. I've spent a few nights in a Sleep Number bed in some hotel chain.... Worst nights sleep I had in decades. I have a sleep number bed and the best thing I did for it was put a 3" memory foam topper on it. Guess that's a pretty good endorsement for the memory foam beds over the sleep number ones! -
  19. I suppose if you want to drop skydivers you can't just stencil 'EXPERIMENTAL' on the side. Bummer. Actually, I think you can't do any commercial ops in an experimental. Now, if it wasn't a commercial operation and nobody was paying for the jump, may actually be legal. I volunteer to jump it and not pay.
  20. Hell, even I could've told them that without all of the fancy bells and whistles and cost of utilizing a flight simulator. In other news, Newton's law still not repealed
  21. Any interest in wind tunnels? Seems like new ones are being built at a pretty high rate. That might be another option if you are open to it.

    Farm Bill

    Finally expected to pass this week. I guess the Dems finally figured out that welfare recipients who reliably vote "D" will be pissed if they don't get their welfare checks. (aka snap program). See there it's bipartisanship finally at work
  23. Always have a designated driver!
