I watched them protect an entire planeload of passengers by disarming a kids 9" GI Joe. Apparently a 2" plastic M-60 still qualifies as a replica. I stand corrected! I underestimated the unsung, heroic work that these diligent and thorough minions do for the good of the citizens of this country to keep the world a safe place for all mankind!

Speaking of spelling errors... Look I can rant or I can spell....I can't do both. Right now I be ranting...spelling I'll do later. Shah, listening to you rant is like reading the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" when Larry the Croc is ranting! By the way, it's "lose" not "loose." And, if you're going to say "Butt Fuck" in a post about closet homosexuals, you may as well spell that correctly, too! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

Skydive Hollister has a prepay jump special listed on their website. 133 jumps for $2,000 up front which comes out to $15/jump. The catch at Hollister is the ten mile bus ride back to the airport from the DZ. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

As a pilot I've never made an adjustment while flying for the Coriolis effect, but then again I've never flown an F-14 at 1,000 knots from the equator to the north pole in still air. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

Would a hot air balloon in still air at the equator have to make any corrections to stay in the same place in the air columm as the Earth rotates? No. It will simply stay over the same spot over the ground. The Coriolis effect while moving north or south simply won't be strong enough to have an effect on a slow moving parachute or blimp.

Apples to oranges. A ballistic object like a bullet is going to require that the shooter accounts for gravity, wind speed, wind direction, and coriolis effect, as well, as atmospheric conditions that affect the bullet's drag like atmospheric pressure and humidity. The difference is that a bullet is not supported within the air like an airplane or a balloon is; it's simply a suborbital object that is being partially acted upon by the atmosphere, but not borne by it. An airplane, parachute, or balloon will only be inherently affected by the Coriolis effect to the extent that the air itself is affected by the Coriolis effect, which requires tha air be moving across the Earth's surface to a higher or lower latitude, which can't happen on a no-wind day!

On a no-wind day? If the air's not moving in relation to the Earth then it makes no difference, under canopy or in a balloon, which way the person flies. Trust me, I got my ass handed to me a few months ago on this one! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

1) No correction needed. The skydiver would not be affected by the Coriolis effect on a no-wind day. The skydiver would have no apparent cross-track over the surface of the Earth because he'd simply be moving with the air which is moving with the rotation of the planet. 2) Both jumpers go the same distance east and west. 3) Put the crackpipe down.

Being a "person" isn't even an appropriate title for some of the a-hole adults I've met, so how does a zygote/embryo/fetus qualify? Calling a fetus a "baby" is like calling an adult a "pre-deceased corpse"! It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

The truth is that having two hundred jumps, in and of itself, does not meet the recommendation for jumping with a camera. The problem is that the recommendation is so universally misquoted on this forum that I'm sure there are numerous people who think that the recommendation is actually just 200 jumps. We already know there's a lot of people who are clearly confused between a requirement and a recommendation. The recommendation in the SIM clearly states "C-License". To "infer" that what the USPA really meant was 200 jumps is just as inaccurate as saying that the minimum recommendation is having landed within two meters of target on 25 jumps. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

What? If the recommendation is a C-license and one of the C-license requirements is having made 200 jumps it's quite amazing how you can conclude that the recommendation doesn't have anything to do with jump numbers. Would it make sense to you if I said that the USPA recommendation for jumping with a camera was 60 minutes of freefall time? Having two hundred jumps is not the same thing as having a C-License. It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.

Dave, the USPA recommendation is not 200 jumps. The recommendation is for the jumper to have a C-License, granted, the minimum number of jumps for a C-License is 200, but it's still two distinctly separate standards. Why does it matter? A C-License is not automatically issued for having 200 jumps. A C-License is a specific level of demonstrated competence and it's not unreasonable to expect that many jumpers achieve it prior to their 200th jump..
