  1. Buy an airplane or 2..... a big twin that I could fly and a G10 like Tiger has, bedroom and all. I would take the payout plan, because it is really true that most folks that get a windfall lose it quickly. I have seen it with my own eyes, it is just the way it is..........bummer, too.
  2. right,, where do folks get the misinformation ? liars!!
  3. IMO he is like the jerks who jam on the gas instead of the brakes !!! ( the vast majority of the incidents, IMO ). Future cars will all have black boxes to protect the manufacturers.
  4. you could go static line like many of us old guys did, consider it, anyway !!
  5. I honor Murtha's earlier military service. But Murtha violated that pledge the day he turned on the Marines and slandered them unjustly. He was welcome to change his opinion about the war, but he did so in a dishonorable fashion. And he was the poster boy for out-of-control pork-barrel spending which is destroying this country. Therefore, "Semper Fi" ceases to apply to him, in my opinion. I know that some will criticize me for speaking ill of the dead. But I'm just saying what many are already thinking in private. So just because I'm out in the open with those thoughts, doesn't make me any worse than those who thought it and kept silent. Murtha slandered our Marines and wouldnt apologize. Anytime anyone said ANYTHING to him he said: ' were you in there service ?'. Not an honorable guy since his Nam service, in my book.
  6. Bolden is a dope, IMO, obviously not a fan of manned space flight, despite his background. The new Ares promised to be the most reliable vehicle ever, and for decades to come. Also, it was well along in development. The new tech stuff is a pipe dream. Many years in the future, if ever, which is my belief. Think about it, a modern Cessna 182 is not radically different than a 1955 model. Naturally, it can be built lighter, and great electronics, but the physics is still the same. That doesnt change. Enjoy the last 5 flights, as I will, this is the end. All the 'future stuff' they say is a lie. BO and his ilk hate manned flight, it makes us look good. He cant stand that !!!!!!!!!! You can deny it, but it is true.
  7. watch a lot of youtube videos and educate yourself !!
  8. In fairness to any President - long hours, high stress, lots of speeches delivered, often without much advance review of the text, especially for the less momentous events. Yeah, they're going to sound tired sometimes, not unlike candidates in the middle of a campaign. that's not a one time error due to fatique, though. nor is saying '57 states' ( I have not heard any other American say anything as dumb as 57 states) Clearly, this is the smartest guy ever !!! And he is not an example of affirmative action, either. To top it off, this one seemingly insignificant fellow singlehandedly has killed Nasa, one of the United States' greatest achievements.
  9. Row 2 medium dark jumpsuit is astronaut Fred Leslie from Irving and Univ. of Texas. Still jumping in Huntsville, AL.
  10. That flown Apollo 12 decal is way cool !!! Thanks Wendy.
  11. Mike made some jumps with us in early 70's in Stroud, OK when he was a GK. We were shocked to learn of his accident although I dont recall when that was. I have a photo of him jumping a Para Sled that day ( he was trying it out and did a great accuracy jump.)
  12. remember the ( appropriate ) outrage re: 9/11 ?? how most of us ( who know something about WW2 ) said,, that's it !!!!!!!! that wont happen again !!! no damn way !!!!! well, only a dumb terrorist saved the airplane on 12/25/09. and, the Ft Hood shooter was well known to be a dangerour person and a threat. and, the Army chief now says that diversity is their most important mission these days. I dont recognize the America that I grew up in.
  13. what they mean is that fewer guns in east L.A. means less crime ( as opposed to fewer guns in, say, Salt Lake City ). big difference.
  14. I wore my old Pioneer jump suit with the double front zippers last Friday at Perris. All the freefly kids wanted one! hey, post a picture ( old and new both, if you can ).
  15. Springfield 1911 model, chromed. Going to the AZ CCW class as the true life incidents on TV are very scary to see !!!
  16. they should do it,, they will have fun. I took my 2 daughters into there some years ago and they got a good video of it, also.
  17. lots of memories from that movie !! yes, that is the way things were.... note the 'firm' landings on Paracommanders.. and the sturdy jump boots. Everyone wore those, basically.
  18. geeeeeeez !! how many jumpers did you put on one load ???
  19. yes.......... here is why http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3X5hIFXYU
  20. well, it was in the news....... in Melbourne Australia, it is about........ oh........... 50 million in lost endorsements over the next few years ????
