  1. Like hiding the bodies. IIRC the model he is talking about is only good for about 3-4 bodies. If you need more capacity, you need something from say the 70's.

  2. Not the first time that it's happened (pilot deadsticks to a beach and takes out someone on the ground). He was probably worried about ditching in the water since it has a pretty good chance of flipping right over on its back, so he took the other option. Don't think it's the option I would've taken... I would've put it down a bit offshore and had the door opened. Fuck the plane and everything in it, that's the problem for the insurance company. ETA: Looks like the pilot was 57 years old and the passenger was 60, so there may have been some consideration by the pilot that either or both wouldn't have survived ditching in the water.

    I started using it much more when I was in the military as a way of keeping up with what was going on with friends/family while I was deployed. Just last week I got a friend request from a name I hadn't seen in over 10 years and it was someone I used to work with that I had always wondered where she ended up. There's also some great resources available for education, for instance I'm a member of several private pilot groups where people post their questions about flight training, aircraft, 'what if' scenarios, etc... Pilots from all over the country and several world wide, of all experience levels from student to DPE's chime in with their thoughts.

  4. I was just wondering how much a jump pilot would want to sit there on the ground as the 3 planes in front of them are holding for release.

  5. Yeah but it's a humid heat - not like that candy ass dry heat people folk to in Arizona. At least the humidity drops for a couple hours during the "winter".

  8. I have a Michigan suit that worked well for AFF. The only thing I ever had to do was put on a hoodie or something if I was jumping with a lightweight.

  10. I highly doubt that is a direct copy of a quote from SSK/Airtec. Either way, if you don't like the maintenance schedule/requirements, use a different product that you do like. This isn't much different than dropping your plane off for an annual and having the mechanic find issues that make the annual take longer, except this doesn't cost you more.

  11. And with that kill, twardo lost his ride to altitude and had to start using them new fangled airplanes. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  12. I'm sure you didn't mean that the way you posted it. Or did she? "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  13. I've just gotten to the point that I keep all of my data on a server that I built (and pretty much any old PC could do it with a couple of hard drives) so that if/when a computer gets hosed, I just reload the whole OS. Saves me time and frustration in the end and I know that I've got a fresh install, not some lingering effects that take way too much time and energy to fix. ETA: this is probably what you wanted http://www.thecomputermanual.com/malwarebytes-usb-boot/ I'd be careful to follow the instructions on that though, using diskpart in admin mode on windows gives you the possibility of really hosing up a functioning computer.

  14. Some DZ systems aren't keeping track of medicals, reserve repacks or USPA membership. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  15. Lunch hour quickie, half the clothes still on? Actually happened around these parts. Someone noticed a couple going at it in the car across the street, a bit later they saw both of them getting out of the car and walking back to work.

  16. If he's at a non USPA DZ, he doesn't need to have a current USPA membership or instructor rating, nor would he need a medical, IIRC. What makes you think this persons medical isn't current? If it's the person you posted about in another thread, and I found the correct record, his medical is current.

  18. http://caravanpilots.blogspot.com/p/current-caravan.html?spref=fb has a list of people looking for Caravan drivers and their requirements.

  19. At some point, they may put a wind hold on, don't complain, it's usually for good reason. If you see a bunch of experienced jumpers sitting the loads out because of the weather, join them and watch the people who think they're better than that land.

  22. I adopted a pair of kittens 2 weeks ago. The female (black one) wanted absolutely nothing to do with the male (the grey one). She's finally coming around to him and they've become best friends and keep each other entertained. The black one is Nimbus, dark and angry. The grey one is Stratus, grey and white stripes.

  23. http://www.aclufl.org/pdfs/Legal%20PDfs/Frazier.pdf Since I don't really feel like getting into a long argument over this and I've got somewhere to be, I'll just look at FL law (since I live here now and it's not one of the 5 states you mentioned). http://www.flsenate.gov/laws/statutes/2011/1003.44 (bolding mine) Now, what part of that says it's mandatory? Seems like it's as easy as getting a note from your parent.

  24. I don't believe the Pledge of Allegiance is required anymore, and I know there have been at least a couple lawsuits that ended up saying so.
