Why are you still defending them?


Because I'm curious as to why this one incident of not getting what was advertised is such a big deal. Robert went to Hinckley when there was an advertised Skyvan that didn't show up. He didn't complain then about not getting what was advertised.....

He always does something about it...And we don't defend him if he did nothing


Always? ;) What am I defending? They could do things better. What exactly am I defending? SDC is not my home dz. The little dz down the road that competes with them is. What do I have to gain by "defending" them?

Ron, you should take some classes in logic.
There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Thats something you should take up with him. But a plane is a hell of a lot harder to get than an Organizer for novices.

Ron, you weren't there. You're starting to sound like TandemTerry.

From the ORIGINAL complaint:

"The ONLY organized RW load was a 30some people formation from 2 aircraft."

That is absolutely untrue. There was a hiccup around noon on Sunday due to Billy getting whacked in the back by one of the people he was organizing.

There were more than a dozen inexperienced jumpers working with Sky and Billy on Saturday, and with Billy on Sunday morning.

Apparently Robert couldn't find them or the red Team Funnel mat with the big "Team Funnel" sign over it. OK, next year I expect they'll have fluorescent tee shirts on and a flashing neon sign.

Dunno, but I just got a note from my son who's an exchange student in Australia. He said there's an emu sanctuary on campus, and two of them had a fight.

I wonder if there was jello involved?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Did Tandem Terry had any justification for his complaints?

Well he could not find them even AFTER he asked the DZO's...and this includes your team funnel area.

I have said about 6 times now that I am sure this will never happena again, but all I get is attacked for even mentioning a negative word about SDC...Go back and read my first post and tell me where I was out of line...I have spent the rest of my time defending it.

Summerfest should've had dead horse barbeque to eat.

Is it illegal to hijack a thread that involves airplanes?

I believe in this instance you are safe, as there have been no airplane discussions....

I've seen people unable to find their slots after dirt diving them. They don't usually blame the organizer. Your point?

It's dead. It's sitting there in the middle of the playground, bloating and smelling bad.

Leave it alone :P or it might explode, spewing green bile all over you. Then the rest of you would match that pretty avatar :ph34r:

In this case it seems since HE ASKED THE DZO's about the LO...And they didn't assign him a slot...Well I would say that he didn't screw up.

Did someone say Dead Horse? That was always one of my favotire Guns And Roses Songs!!!

Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with
whom these feelings I share


Nobody understands, quite why we're here
We're searchin' for answers
That never appear


But maybe if I looked real hard I'd
I'd see your tryin' too
To understand this life,
That we're all goin' through
(Then when she said she was gonna like
wreck my car...I didn't know what to do)


Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change
Never change


I met an old cowboy
I saw the look in his eyes
Somethin' tells me he's been here before
'Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me


Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change
Never change


I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
Still wet behind the ears
I been around this track a couple o' times
But now the dust is startin' to clear
Oh yeah!!!


Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
Ooh yeah, I'd be smilin'
No way I'd be smilin'
Ooh smilin'


Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one
With whom these feelings I share
