Very useful since I just started backflying myself. ~Migs~ On Facebook

Yeah those Alien guys can't fly worth a crap ;0)~ ~Migs~ On Facebook

Agreed ~Migs~ On Facebook

I wouldn't care who the person is either... I just care that its for the benefit of the wingsuiters and that is done with safety in mind. ~Migs~ On Facebook

My suggestion would be to call the Regional Directory where the meeting is taking place and find out who is behind it if possible. Or call one of the National Directors? Scott Smith USPA Member # 12677, D-6627 Western (WE) Regional Director [email protected] ~Migs~ On Facebook

But what is the "it" that you are for? Saying "there ought to be a coach rating!" is all fine and dandy, but what are the specifics of the proposal? Does one have to be a coach to give first flight courses? What about providing help to people who have already got their rating? Who decides who gets a rating? What are the qualifications? Too many questions, none of which have been answered. Are you the guy who proposed it, Migs? Do you know who is? Even the best plan sucks if it's clouded in bullshit secrecy. Period. No, it was certainly not me. I don't have enough wingsuit jumps or the experience to be part of such a decision making body. I am all for making a formal Rating aimed specifically towards Wingsuiters. Haven't done a belly jump myself in well over 2 years, and just recently having to take the coach rating was certainly a challenging experience for me. I think it would be much easier to teach and learn a Wingsuit Coach rating rather than the USPA Coach Rating. There are plenty of questions to be asked and it would be nice to find out who the originator of that motion would be to pick their brain and possibly have a consensus as to what the Rating should include for the sake of the wingsuit community as a whole. We don’t have the best reputation as it is, it would be nice to have something formal in the books with the input of the community as a whole. ~Migs~ On Facebook

That's the overall view of the Europeans of us here in the US. We don't have our s#!t together as a wingsuit community. I just happen to think they finally got something right! LOL ~Migs~ On Facebook

I think it would be a step in the right direction in unifying the wingsuit community. We don't get enough credit for the amount of talent in the community and as a new USPA Couch myself (Looking to become a Wingsuit Instructor) It would certainly help the Wingsuit community be recognized as a formal disipline here in the US and not just a bunch of skydivers in skirts. I am all for it! ~Migs~ On Facebook

Mar 20 - April 1 - Z-Flock 8.0 and the wingsuiters descend upon Skydive City for a weekend of 'guys in skirts' - fabulous flying and formations. See you there, contact Scott http://skydivecity.com/html/calendar/index.html ~Migs~ On Facebook

Folks... after working for DoD for 12 years, they will never tell you exactly when things will happen and/or take place. It's the nature of the beast. I have been around similar testing or jamming and trust me... it will take the strongest signal down. GPS signal is much weaker and it doesn't take much to take the signal down. Shit happens... I don't know about you, but I had a blast doing it!!! That's my story and I am sticking to it. ~Migs~ On Facebook

I would love to do this, but my back isn't agreeing at this time ~Migs~ On Facebook

Changed my ticket from Panama to PR today. I will be there from the 12th to the 20th if anyone is interested in going anywhere in the Island... just hit me up! ~Migs~ On Facebook

Just glad you performed the proper EP and made it home safe! ~Migs~ On Facebook

Wish I could have jumped, but Coach course took priority and my back is jacked anyways! It was fun organizing the night jumps though! Glad everyone made it back to the DZ and landed safe. ~Migs~ On Facebook

Got to do some flying with Spike and Jackie (The Early Party) this weekend... we had a blast! Got some cool footage and some awesome sunset load footage! Can't wait till the Holiday Weekend! ~Migs~ On Facebook

Well... now that Panama was cancelled, back home it is! Certainly never dreamed in my lifetime to fly over my home land in a wingsuit!!! ~Migs~ On Facebook

Hell... I already got Panama, Z-Hills, and possibly Puerto Rico. I will be pushing it if I do another in such a short time! LOL Or maybe I can talk to Jetman and get me a fixed wing!!! ~Migs~ On Facebook

I will try to make this since I already got tickets for Panama, but if I can find cheap tickets to Aguadilla... I am game! ~Migs~ On Facebook

Looking forward to this since it is my home DZ! Then Panama!!! ~Migs~ On Facebook

123 NM Northeast of Lake Elsinore. ~Migs~ On Facebook

After doing a Radius measurement from China Lake to Lake Elsinore... it is only 23 NM outside of the testing range. This is very possibly that this was the cause of all the signal conflicts over the weekend. So far the most plausible explanation, although we were competing on the 5th of november.. Any way we can contact these guys and get them to confirm they were testing last weekend? Here is the contact link and numbers: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=gpsUserInput Also, scheduled testing: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pdf/gps/gpsnotices/GPS_Interference.pdf ~Migs~ On Facebook
