Looks like you're flying in pretty deep brakes though. Do you have to fly in deep brakes when towing a big flag or what? Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #14 August 3, 2007 So why is your teammate with the MIA*POW flag *not* flying in deep brakes? Need a new teammate? (I wanna be a demo jumper like you so I can be filthy rich and swarmed by hot chicks!) Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craichead 0 #16 August 3, 2007 Hey Twardo! I definitely see why you don't get tired of jumping demos. Thanks for hanging out with me and AndyMan at Oshkosh. It was so great to finally meet you and see the Liberty Parachute Team in action! Thanks for the ice cream, too. _Pm __ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverdad 0 #17 August 3, 2007 Did ol Bill H. fly with you this year? I was hoping to come up and say hi but was walking back from the ultralight area when you guys jumped. I see the biplane flew along side again this year. THAT can never get old I'm sure. You put on a great show again. Thanks Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaGimp 0 #18 August 3, 2007 what i want to know is.......how disrespectful do you think it is dragging the american flag across the ground everytime you land? because im sure that you dont have a catcher on the ground waiting to dodge that lead weight. At least the military jumpers all have flag lines attached to the parachutes so when the jumper lands the flag is given the proper respect and does not touch the ground."Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #22 August 3, 2007 Ya' know, Jim, it's painfully obvious that DaGimp is not familiar with Federal Specification DDD-F-416E. Maybe you could give him some lessons on *professional* demo jumps? Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
