  1. Yea its not boeing, it is probably an airbus. No boeings since the 707 have had 4 engines on the wings except for the 747 which this is not because it doesnt have an upper deck. My guess is airbus. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'

  5. Is there a certain way you should wind your altimeter when you are changing dropzones? Dont want to screw it up. I have a skymeter. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'

  8. 19 year old here with 28 jumps as of yet. Only wished i had started earlier! I had a guy at my dz from south africa, 18 with over 500 jumps. He was a tandem instructor and just recently got his AFF instructor rating. I didnt know he was that young for several months. Crazy, i should have lived in south africa. I could have started at 15 like he did! B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  9. I got to represent the labtop! Yal's desktops may look cooler, but can you watch a movie on the airplane with it???? I got to say i like having all my data portable.

  10. Dont worry that is not bad at all. Wait til calc 3 (multivariable calc for me)! By some miracle i got a 'c'. I am on to calc 4 (differential equations) next semester, the last one i have to take!!
  11. In my 4th and 5th grade years, we were not allowed to play tag or with any balls at recess. Some kid (retard) ran into the pole of a swing set while playing tag and that was their reasoning. They didnt want us running into swing sets too i guess. That was in the mid nineties so i am scared of how it is now. Its real sad in my opinion. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  12. 15 minutes to deland, yet another sign i should have gone to embry-riddle instead of here! j/k dont have to pay to go to school here B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  13. I am just a poor student, but hey I do get paid to go to school. Even though it is next to nothing I can't complain. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  14. I am just curious if anyone else feels this when they jump. From the moment i let go of the pilot chute till the point i am sat up by the canopy, i get real nervous. The thoughts of nothing happening, something going wrong, and "did i make a packing mistake" all go running through my mind. It only lasts a second and is not going to keep me from jumping by any means. Anyone else get this feeling? Just got to thinking about that today. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  15. Well I am back. I got to jump only once cause the winds decided to steal the rest of the day from me and the pilot was late getting there. Anyways I did not have any problems with my 190. The speed felt almost the same as the 220 i had been jumping up here. Turned into a nice stand up landing. I was kinda mad since the winds were so high i had to turn into the wind as soon as i was under canopy so i didnt get a chance to play around with it. Anyways thanks for all your advice and i will be ready for the zslight speed increase this weekend since i am back in CO. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  16. Well thats good to know B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  17. I will keep that in mind for sure. Thanks B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  18. Hearing all this makes me want to drive the extra miles to get up to Aggieland. Maybe I will see yal over thanksgiving but definitely over x mas. See yal out there. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  19. Thanks a lot everyone. I don't know how much slower i will be going coming in cause i will be jumping my new rig with a 190 for the first time (yes i know beer), the smallest i have jumped so far is a 216. Sounds like this will make the transition a little easier though. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  20. So how does this beer thing work for under 21 folk? You just give them the money or what? I dont wont to disappoint anybody. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  21. I have done all of my whooping 27 jumps here in colorado. I am going home to Houston over thanksgiving. I was just curious if your canopy flies differently at sea level than at 5600 msl like i have been jumping. I have overheard some conversations where someone would say "well its different cause of the elevation we are at" I was just curious if there was any merit to that or something i need to be careful of. Thanks a lot. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  22. Well its been almost 2 months since i bought the rig, but after finally finding a cypres, getting it installed, and a fresh reserve repack it is finally ready to fly! I am looking forward to trying it out over the thanksgiving break at Skydive Houston or Skydive Aggieland havent decided yet. See yal next weekend! B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  23. If you have XP all you have to is open up the picture in Windows Picture Viewer then click on the save icon (a disk) then you can select the file type and name. Finally Microsoft did something right. So you dont need a special program if you have XP. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  24. Yea i know i am just lazy B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
  25. Cool thanks a lot i will definately be out there over the break coming up. Any word on the price from the new Beech? Thanks a lot and see some of yal out there hopefully. B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch'
