Ping whoever

What's up with this group? If you look past the egos, the bullshit and a rattling, mumbling, semi-sane old man from the sticks, what's left? I thought it was about skydiving, not bitching.

Do you actually jump? -- Peter Lucas Brisbane Australia "Thirty seven years ago, a Quarter Master, nearly knocked me over as he thrust an L1A1 SLR into my hands and bellowed, "Keep that Rifle in Tip Top Order so you can Kill your Countries Enemies with it before they Kill You. These days, I do not have to visit exotic overseas countries as my Countries Enemies are seen wallowing around our seats of government, they guzzle and cavort at the Public trough so deeply they make Caligula and Nero look like Church choir boys." Mr Ron Owen, 2000, in a letter to then Premier Olsen.

Occasionally, a bit of skydiving sneaks in, but it just becomes a platform for further bitching, name calling, and character denigration. Don

How did the little twit know I used juju sticks to examine the hearts of USPA members and cast spells on bootee boys? 0~;)P

At least Don's got more balls than the anonymous sender and he was probably a better jumper at 275 jumps than you are right now, gold wings or not. 0~;)P

Don has much to > learn about skydiving. Probably got about 300 jumps or less.. wink Naw, I made 853 between 1967 and 1993, then I got crippled in a plane crash, and have made 4 tandems since then. Started doing HALO jumps with 1st SF on Okinawa, and then made a bunch of jumps on a home made 28' 7TU in Western Massachusetts, bought a ParaCommander in 1970, and graduated to a square (a 176 sq ft ParaFoil) in 1977. Hell, I even got one a them fancy SCRs in 1976! Never been on anything bigger than a 20 way though. Toughest RW was a 12 way out of 3 C182s...wink Don B-6458 C-6420 D-13907

Ca peach? 0~;) Anyway, nut man seems self destructive, he drinks a lot and probably eats a lot of comfort food to, nope at middle age that shit tells on you in a athletic sport like skydiving.....As if age ain't bad enough, he's got coordination problems 20 or 30 years beyond his true Julian age....stiff, creaky----all kinds of shit in the early stages of falling apart....Heh....Its going to look bad when kids just off student status don't want the old fat guy with gold wings in their formation because he keeps falling out and going low....Ah well thats life and it can sometimes be a bitch----as we both know---hope the snows finally melting off up there in Yankee land & your old balls didn't freeze and fall off heh heh blues & keep on keeping on!
