Damn near got me thrown off a flight sayin' that to a little ole lady, as I stuffed a rig in the overhead! She actually went back to the counter during boarding and raised some shit. The fat guy in the red blazer brought her back down and 'we spoke'... ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtnesbitt 0 #10 March 5, 2010 I just think its EASIER to NOT carry it "naked." I have a really old and super cheap carry on suitcase with wheels. I can fit my rig, freefly suit, shoes, plus helmet, alti, etc. It's easier to get through security, easier to carry, doesnt attract unwanted attention, and you dont have to worry about snagging anything."If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatmiser 0 #20 March 5, 2010 Sometimes you don't have a choice. I was checking mine on my orlando trip, They said my bag was over weight so I had to pull it out and throw it over my shoulder. Funny thing is I didn't have a single conversation about it. What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience. Airtwardo Someone's going to be spanked!

The only big airliner I've ever been seated up front on was the Perris DC 9-21 at WFFC. Actually, Twardo married a hot airshow acro pilot who now flies big Boeings for an international airline.

jtval 0 #24 March 5, 2010 He probably mentioned first class so someone would ask him about it and he can brag to a bunch of skydivers how he flies first class. You know, it's all about the ego boost. My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
377 22 #25 March 5, 2010 If egos were parachutes we'd all have REALLY low wing loading numbers. Swooping would be impossible. Back in the day, carrying a rig into an airline boarding area was guaranteed to get women interested. Now it's just a trouble magnet. I ALWAYS bag my rig when carrying on. Q: "whats in the bag?"
