  1. I've made it back from some seriously long spots with my Stiletto 135 when others on the load didn't and I opened the lowest. Very flat glide ratio. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  2. "Gone with the Wind" was playing and I didn't want to miss it! "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  3. I once asked a pax if he wanted to help fly. I then watched as he grabbed the right toggle. When I turned to see him grab the left he had his hand firmly wrapped around the cutaway handle. I calmly but firmly told him to LET GO. I think I ruined a paired of undies that jump. I now present the toggles in front of them so they can see better and I can watch both hands. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  4. Here a few. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  5. The last time I was there and inquired about the helicopter scenic tours i was told that they would have let me jump if I had brought my gear. Just a thought...might be worth wild to check that option out. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  6. Cool. I've been waiting for my daughter to do a tandem with me. I know it will be a special time if/when she is ready. Congrats. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  7. Took my cousin for her first tandem out of a 206. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  8. I only dealt with EG once. I called one Tuesday morning before 10 am and ordered a stock suit. I had it the very next day by noon. I was impressed to say the least. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  9. Layout the gear you want to put in the case and measure length, width and depth. Go to the Pelican website and input desired measurements. It will give you a list of recommended cases. You can order them with or without the foam inserts. Your choice. The 1780 may be what you are looking for. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  10. 58461 + 700 = 59161 112 + 1 = 113 59161/113=523.5 1 in 524 "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  11. Here are a few ideas. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  12. Sabre 135 or Stiletto 135 depending on what colors I want to fly. "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  13. I have sprayed many officers with OC and been sprayed as well many times. I recently took a five second ride. OMG!! The only thing on my mind was MAKE IT STOP!! I'll take pepper spray anyday. Point that Taser at me and I will shoot you!!! "Admit nothing, deny everything, and demand proof"
  14. Demo out of a C-210. Weather in the area. By the time we got to the LZ the cieling had dropped to around 1450' and it was pouring down raining. Two of us on the jump and as we were contemplating aborting the jump the first jumper left. I was not going to be outdone so of course I followed in disbelief. Unfortunately the 210 had retractable gear and I inadvertingly dove on my back on exit. I remember thinking man this is a little low for this today. Got belly to earth and dumped. Luckily the trusty Sabre 135 opens in 300-400' and I was in the saddle by 800' and landed before the first guy. The first jumper said that the only reason he didn't call it off was because he knew I had made some BASE jumps and would probably be ok. Worst part was the rain.
