Great suicide bombers getting trained to spot a target from 14k and land right on it!! oh well we already showed'em how to fly!



You're so right. I propose a requirement that all skydivers prove their nationality before training. FBI background checks. Drug and explosives detection equipment in all DZs. Religion tests to prove right (christian) thinking. Loyalty oaths.

And that's just for tandem!

Bend over, people.

They don't need a skydiving center to do that. Besides, if you know any "average" Iranians, wouldn't you agree that that level of fanaticism isn't very prevalent?
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

No just hijackers, not brown ppl. just muslims!! Me, I can't wait for the iran boogies, just stirrin' the pot ya'all.



You know, if things ever settle down politically between the two, I would go there in a heartbeat. The Persian heritage is quite interesting to me, lots of pride, history and "identity of self"...I think it would be a real kick to make some jumps with them too.

Next thing you know, some careless US visitor will reveal to them the existence of a powerful oxidizer used in explosives called "fertilizer!"

It won't help them. According to The Strategy Page (Feb 16, 2007),

"Iran ... does not have the technical expertise to produce high tech things like .50 caliber sniper rifles" - they're just a bunch of primitives.

We should probably worry about toothless hillbillies from Louisiana trying to skydive as well. A phrase I don't want to hear on takeoff roll is, "mommmma, theres another gator on the airoplane". :P

You've left the US for Canada--why're you still interested in US policy?
Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Don't be silly, there are no hillbillies in Louisiana. Only Coonasses and they ain't worryin' 'bout nothin'. All us hillbillies are up here in Missourah' and our big worry is the occassional possum tryin to sneak its ass onboard for a free lift to altitude and even that ain't so bad. The little varmits can really turn points and don't even get them going on which of them can swoop the furthest...

if any of you have seen their other sports equipment i would say their probably using rounds and belly mounts, and their planes probably wont get to 14k maybe 14 feet before it noses in
light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

I take it, then, that you are not concerned about their nuclear program.

It's really only the Mullahs in Iran that tend towards fundamentalism. 70% of the total population of Iran is under age 30 because of the Iran-Iraq war, and they all want to be like America...
And the DZ there is a tandem mill only, no fun jumpers.

As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...
