  1. Sweeet... I'll get that email off in about thirty seconds. Sweet Gravity...
  2. I'm looking into flying to Dublin next weekend and I'm wondering where I can jump! I'm stuck in Germany and all the DZ's near me are closed for the season (expletive deleted). I checked out the IPC's website and noticed that they are open weekends year-round, which is sweet. Anyone know if anythings going on there next weekend? I assume there are trains that can get me there, any input there? Sweet Gravity...
  3. No DZ in Egypt last I heard. There was a guy who was all set to start one but apparently the gov't wasn't too keen on the idea. Lots of other cool shit to do though, Dahab on the Red Sea is a good place to go climbing, scuba diving, kite surfing, wind surfing... drinking... Look in the DZ database for Jordan, I think there is one there, might be kinda pricey though. Sweet Gravity...
  4. I went to Sky Khef a couple years back and it was awesome! The staff was cool as hell and the jumpers were super friendly. I very much recommend the place. They were flying an Islander at the time, not the fastest plane in the world but it did the job for sure. It was kind of surreal being able to see Gaza and the West Bank from altitude. As far as the question about the political climate... you'll find the Israeli people have learned to get on with life despite the pressures in the country. In fact, I've heard that the nightlife in Tel Aviv is one of the best in the world. Sweet Gravity...
  5. I'm torn. I've got a 4 day this weekend, Pink Skyvan Boogie near Hamburg or Skydive Prague? Either way I think its a crap shoot as far as the weather is concerned... any input would be greatly appreciated. Sweet Gravity...
  6. Anyone know of anything going on in Europe in the next month or two? I just moved to Germany (Baumholder) and am n the process of figuring out where I'm going to be jumping... any help would be greatly appreciated. Sweet Gravity...
  7. Thanks. I looked at that but I'm a little behind on my German geography. Guess it's time to find me a good map. Sweet Gravity...
  8. Anybody know of a good DZ near Baumholder? Sweet Gravity...

    Still alive

    No shit? I used to kick it in Dahab all the time back in '04, what exactly got hit? I read that the Al Capone Restaurant was one... I don't suppose you got up to any rock climbing out there, did you? Anyway, glad you made it out. Sweet Gravity...
  10. Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured... I'll definitely be hittin' up as many DZ's as I can to and from though. Sweet Gravity...
  11. Cool deal, thanks. I still have to get ahold of the training brigade to find out what kind (if any) of free time I'll have for the next couple months, but I plan on spending as much of it as possible in freefall... Sweet Gravity...
  12. I'm actually getting ready to head down to Benning for AIT (reclassing Infantry...) and was wondering if there are any active jumpers stationed there? Anybody know? Buehler? Buehler? I have no idea if I'll even have free time to jump but I figured I'd better find out just in case... How long does it take to drive to Thomaston from post? Sweet Gravity...
  13. ...the future's uncertain, and the end is always near... Sweet Gravity...
  14. got any linked articles that might illustrate that point? Sweet Gravity...
  15. "apparently" this porn site is having a bit of luck getting a few more hits tonight. Sweet Gravity...
  16. Ooh, ooh, I got a question... Why in the hell is this matter in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee? How about the Committee on Foreign Relations, the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, the Committee on Environment and Public Works, or... call me crazy here... the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs... (and this last sounds like the most appropriate considering the charges being leveled at the Bush administration...) perhaps... maybe I'm a nutty bastard, it's because senator clinton isn't on any of the more appropriate committee's... A - this 'issue' is being inflated by populist politicians in hopes of beating votes out of the uneducated. B - this is an unavoidable example of the other side of gerrymandering... and the worse side. The mainstream media is asking all the wrong questions regarding the 'UAE ports deal'... IE why the F U C K is the Armed Services committee hearing this matter? We badly need to reign in our politicians. There is no logical reason why the Armed Services committee ought to be holding hearings on a commerce matter... if this matter is deemed to have major implications on national security then it should be referred to Homeland Security... or several other committee's that logically would rank before Armed Services... I find it quite tragic that our democracy, the model for the rest of the planet, has been struck so low... populism is an ugly thing. Sorry for the rant. Sweet Gravity...
  17. I knew it was somethin' like that! Thanks kindly, I'll try and track it down on the internet... Sweet Gravity...
  18. word, good lookin out. Sweet Gravity...
  19. Has anybody heard the song uncle charlie's airplane? (or something like that...) or have any idea where I might track it down? They were selling copies of it at manifest during the freefall convention, should have bought one when I had the chance... Sweet Gravity...
  20. sweet deal, I'll be in touch this week (middle of friggin finals right now) thanks bro, good lookin out Sweet Gravity...
  21. does that mean they pick you up from the airport by any chance? I got a layover in Madrid for 6 or 7 hours on june 3rd and I'm feelin froggy... Sweet Gravity...
  22. thats what I'm talkin about! I'm lookin for a bus the second I'm off the plane... they open on thursdays? Sweet Gravity...
  23. I have a six hour layover in Madrid next month and havent jumped since february, can't wait till I get back to the US... So anybody have an idea if theres a DZ close enough to make it? Sweet Gravity...
  24. I put about 200 jumps on a 170 hornet and had the same issue. the best method I found was to leave the nose alone and just roll the hell out of the tail, nice and tight. Sweet Gravity...
  25. Never actually got to jump at Napoleon due to weather that week, but the staff were cool as hell... Sweet Gravity...
