vidiot 0 #55 February 8, 2004 QuoteI was just curious, what was the fall rate of the formation once it was completely built? Phillip, I don't have the data for the record jump yet, but one of the last jumps with a similar size was falling around 100mph. Here is the chart for this jump.

skytash 0 #58 February 8, 2004 QuoteCongrats to everyone involved! QuoteIndeed but can everyone also please spare a thought for those members of the team who weren't on the jump for reasons such as injury or whatever... Quotegood point, craig. whenever i congratulate a team for a job well done, it is for the ENTIRE team. in my mind, the entire team includes all the folks that were there wearing the suits and colors. and the ones who couldn't be in Korat on the day of the big jump because they were either still in hospital or already re-patriated as a result of injuries. For those who have been asking, C. is doing ok and high on (prescription!) drugs. If you want more a more detailed update, pm me. tashDon't ever save anything for a special occasion.

dreamsville 0 #65 February 9, 2004 great job! 2 things: 1) I assume we will see a list of participants in next month's publications (sooner?)? 2) Since John Kallend can't receive PM's, I'm intrigued by a frame of mind that recognizes something as mundane as consecutive odd primes in the context of a world record. It occurs to me that there is no such thing as consecutive even primes, since the only even prime (positive) is 2. |I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline.
