What about the IRS? They're gonna want their piece of the revenue as taxes. If you're not under Part 135, then they're gonna ask "Show me the money!". Of course, that assumes that government agencies actually talk to each other... (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Get a grip! (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

*Buy* them? Heck, every DZ is infested with freeflyers. Just bring your DV camera (or just a tape) and ask to firewire a bunch. Given that there seems to be more cameras than jumpers on the typical FF dive, shouldn't be a problem to come up with tons of zoomie footage! Peter (Some day I'll try freeflying, but it's kinda like mopeds, snowboards and fat chicks - lot's of fun, but don't let your friends catch you riding one!) (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

This theory omits the problem that any drug product needs FDA approval, and the developers and manufacturers must comply with fun little things like various parts of CFR Title 21. That will make it very expensive, and you can be certain that your medical plan will not cover such elective medications. Peter (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Hmm.... I gotta try that... (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

But discussion of vehicles is moot, since the soldiers were on foot. You might find it interesting that Tarnak Farm was a designated coalition training area. There is a long history of friendly fire incidents in just about every war there's ever been, well, at least since weapons were invented with an effect range better than that of the Mark I eyeball. I've been very impressed with the cooperation of the US military with the Canadian investigation. Peter (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

You're right. That was kinda harsh. Sorry. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

You mean like the one your reserve cowboy F16 pilot did on the PPCLI platoon in Afghanistan? (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Oh, sorry I missed that. I was out skydiving, and I really don't have the time to go through all the posts people made. My sister sent it. I thought it funny and thought I'd share. Thanks for pointing it out. There are some interesting comments made. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Why would a Canadian Navy vessel have US Coast Guard markings? Just curious. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Steph swears by Bev HotBods. She's had two. I agree they're quite possibly the best there is for women's figures. They certainly look great, and she flies pretty well in it. I was less excited about the jumpsuit I got from Bev, but it might be the monster FX grips and some measurement issues. I prefer the Tony Swoop Suit I had before, but the EMTs made sure it won't ever be usable again - unless - The Frankenjumpsuit! Peter (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

A truly Canadian apology to the USA... Courtesy of Rick Mercer from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, CBC Television: On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him. I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own. I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defence I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours. I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the war of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's Very Nice. I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we feel your pain. I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you want to have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons. And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this. We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Check out my experience. It might help. http://www.geocities.com/pipeline/slope/8900/lasik.html (The first two "long term effects" I listed are no longer a problem.) (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

$4200 for both eyes, but that was 5-6 years ago. It's way cheaper and better now. The new lasers track any movement of your eye and keep locked on. I think my right eye twitched which may have affected the correction slightly. Still, I got awesome results. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Lasik was the best money I ever spent. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

what's this? Some Polish thing they had @Quincy '97. By the time I heard about it from some friends and wandered over to the manifest, it was gone. Supposedly climbed faster than Mullins' King Air, and had clamshell doors, but I never saw it. http://www.aviatorsale.com/aix441/ http://www.aerogryf.com.pl/e_skytruck.htm Peter (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

There was one in Quincy in 97. Probably other years too, but I can't be held accountable for my memory of everything that happened at Quincy every year I was there. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Give it time. Yours is way better than my list my first three years in the sport, which was C182, C172 and I think a C206. Starting in 93 it got interesting. After 140 jumps from Cessnas, my next 2 were from a Boeing 727! The rest of the list, IIRC, is.. Cessna 206 with the Porter engine Casa Skyvan Otter (DHC-6) King Air (Mullins and others) King Air 200 Queen Air (Lost and engine in-flight - big surprise) Porter Helio Stallion Super Constellation DC3 Beech 18 Pitt Special N3N Bell 206 Bell 412 A-Star Couple different balloons The sidewalk. The stairs and swings when I was 8. Peter (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

That's because you got shot down in flames, well, smoke anyway! (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Oooppsss! I'm sorry I interpreted it wrong! My bad! Peter (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Hey, that's good! Can I borrow it? Peter (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Proud has nothing to do with it, but yes, I am. Everyone there thought it was funny as hell. Tears, abdominal pain, ROTF funny. I'm so sorry you didn't find it that funny. Peter (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Given the error rate on FXCs often in excess of 500', I'd say that setting FXCs 1000' apart runs a high risk of both firing at the same time. Are they at least labeled as to which is on the main and which on the reserve? Peter (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

Can I test out? (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

OK, I should have pointed out that the box in the middle was another attempt at a house. So the solution is "Open House" (Note position of legs). (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.
