    IMHO the flatpack is slightly wrong way (ok, not wrong, but weird) for modern ZP canopy...



    Why?

    I'm told that back in the old days when flat-packing was the norm, that pro-packing was considered weird. Maybe it's just a matter of what you're used to, that neither method is weird, and just because one is not used to a certain technique, is not a good justification to call it weird.

  3. Hey, lookie what I found on the interweb. I've run across this guys stuff in old Skydiving news magazines.

    "America is Obama’s Vietnam"

    Ever since the last helicopter left Saigon, the specter of “another Vietnam” has haunted most American presidents who used force abroad. Ronald Reagan’s efforts in the Caribbean Rim were likened to another Vietnam. George H.W. Bush heard the same mantra during the Gulf War (though not for long). There were even “is this another Vietnam?” questions percolating during Bill Clinton’s Kosovo action.

    More recently, people talked for years that Iraqwas George W. Bush’s Vietnam, and talked on after Barack Hussein Obama became president that Afghanistan might become his Vietnam.

    The good news? It’s not.

    The bad news? He ended up mired in his own Vietnam anyway and the even worse news is that the village he’s destroying to save is our own.

    Obama’s Vietnam is America.

    Also, I notice that all of your (Twardo's) posts have a ~ in the title. Is there significance to you to the ~ being before or after the title text? Or is it a placemarker of sorts that allows you to scan the list of threads and easily pick out the ones you wrote? Or is it like my sig line, just something you do for no particular reason?



    Dang, you're right! He's using some kind of secret code on us!

    That squiggle symbolizes "approximately" in math equations. So maybe he's just all wishy-washy about his subject titles.

    And if you didn't notice, I never actually said "f1rst" in this post. You will learn other ways to say it so you don't get the beer hounds screeming "BEER"!!!! evertime they hear first uttered. The funny thing is, that once you get in the habit you won't even say it around your whuffo friends. And when they say first, you will screem BEER and they will have no idea why you just did that.:D



    Aha! Now there's a hot tip for me to try and avoid all this burdensome budwieser beer debt. I'll endeavor to remove that word from my language around the jump zone. Thanks! Although the experienced jumpers there may not appreciate you revealing this tip to me...

    Lying on you profile is probably not the best way to start out. ;)
    Anyone who is afraid to identify themselves wouldn’t stand a chance against the Godzilla I know. :)



    Thank you mojo. It's nice to meet you too, even if you do sound a bit grumpy. ;)

  14. Okay, I've straightened out that d license thing. I'm a new jumper, and new to this web site, so I'm still figurin' out how to do things here. Glad everyone's having fun at my expense - that's okay. But yes, I AM Mothra, and I can kick Godzilla's butt, so you should be careful about that. :D
