  1. How many officers were shot to death ? And believe me I hate it when it happens.
  2. I don't think who does the filing means much either way. Just personal experience.
  3. I have heard more than one person say on TV that skydiving is burning fuel and is unnecessary. And another one I have heard say that it should be banned, if it were possible, because of the accidents that occur. You gotta watch these folks !!
  4. My neighbor got his first DUI in Nov. in Phoenix. He was .15 and just barely avoided the higher and more severe charges, he got the lesser charge. Cost = $8,000. Returning to jail the next weekend for a 24 hour boring spell, eating 3 TV dinners while in there. 12 months of rental ( $80 per month ) of breathalizer starter system on his car. One month suspended license ( though you CAN drive to work and back, that's all ). If he is caught again within 2 years............ let's just say it is REALLY bad.
  5. I personally agree with Andy's 3 step approach. That is exactly what I would have told my daughter if she wanted to enroll after the tandem jump she made a few years ago. Me ? I was static line and liked it. My own view is that I would not have liked AFF without having done a tandem or 2. Just my guess. But go with your own decision. Any of the methods are proven to work. And, you can change course if need be. Good luck and enjoy the hell out of it.
  6. Oh no !!! Poverty does not cause crime !!! Criminals not in jail, do !!!! Watch those Bait Car shows !!! All those guys have multiple arrests for Grand Theft Auto !! And they are still out there doing it !
  7. I would say Coburn's report shows they are not lacking for tax money. They spend plenty on stuff that few citizens would support.
  8. Over the decades I have read so many airline crash reports...... many are the same thing, over and over, blatant pilot error ( due to odd circumstances I will admit ).
  9. Remember the early Airbus crash where the plane just descended into the trees during an airshow flyby ? The computer was confused, the pilots were confused, the whole thing stunk ! Early version of the system, I think. I never agree with the thinking that prohibits the pilot from pushing an override button and taking control of the damn airplane.
  10. " All mine comes from solar. " Friend of mine did that for $30,000, at $200 per month that takes 150 months, 12.5 years, to break even. Not saying to not do it for some things. All of mine in Phoenix is nu---clee----er ! ( For those people in Ree - oh --- Lin--- dah. )
  11. Most jumpers BY FAR prefer reading an accident report where the jumper just plain screwed up... not an equipment failure.
  12. An expensive engagement ring. Sad thing is, once she tastes the expensive wedding cake, that's all she wrote !
  13. You are raining on the parade of the 'greenies'. I guarantee you these folks think electricity comes from wall sockets. Ask them !!!
  14. Lies !!! It's the religion of peace... everyone says so. By the way, a small percentage of extremists multiplied by a bunch = millions of people who side with the terrorists, totally !
  15. You mean like Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Hillary, and others who said that Saddam had such weapons ?
  16. The ban was total government stupidity from the beginning. Then you had light bulb companies testifying back then that: Oh we had better do this ban !!! Wonder why they testified that way ?
  17. Shah, I gotta agree with you. The government's purpose is government jobs, not the good of the country. Even NASA guys will tell you how bad things are in their endeavor.... I mean, we have Congress designing ROCKETS !!! No bullshit !!! Thats just one example of hundreds, I am sure.
  18. Equality ? Oh yeah. For whacko's it means the same pay for everyone. A hard worker gets the same as a bum. A wino gets his bypass or cancer treatment before everyone else, so as to be PC. Whacko's don't want to earn their way, truth be told. They don't want to compete. They don't want to work ! Hey clueless..... none of us jumps for joy everyday while getting ready for work, but that's reality ! Try it sometime. It's the way it is. Used to be, it you didn't work you didn't eat. With a few exceptions, it should be like that again soon.
  19. Good thing those 2 guys didn't need RSL's !!! At least on that one. :(
  20. Your DZ time should be the highlight of your week.....
  21. I recall them as $325 new !!! Which, with inflation up to today, would be who knows how much.
  22. Economics 101 Slow down !!! You're going too fast.
  23. Is doing and has done to this country !!! He is not an American, and I dont mean the birth certificate. He's closer to Indonesian... hater..Muslim. He says it everyday. He hates free enterprise, opportunity, and all of our traditions, all of them.
