This is SPARTA!!!



Back in the day, merely touching the inside of the door frame was grounds for getting you kicked out of Airborne school.

But I didn't think sport jumpers ever got 'forced' out.... heck, she's going to land a mile from the first jumper! Talk about missing her drop zone. Jumpmaster there should be smacked! Refusals get grounded... not tossed out!

Sparta indeed!

Cheers,

When I went through ground school prior to first static chord jump, the pilot of the plane told us all in no uncertain terms that once you go outside the plane, you will NOT be let back in as it it too dangerous, because if your chute pops while you are trying to get back inside, it could destroy the plane. Pilot said "I will lie to you, trick you, and do anything else I can possibly think of to get you off the skid, including shaking the plane like I'm trying to shake a booger off my finger."

Yep. I was a jumpmaster. If a static line student froze up prior to getting out and on the wing (one foot on the wheel, holding the strut with both hands, eyes on me) I would work them into the back of plane. Remainder of the load jumped if we had room to readjust. Move slow steady and hands over reserve ripcord handle at all times.

If a static line student froze on the wing, yell go a second time as you slap their arm. If that doesn't work signal the pilot to release the wheel brake. If they're still hanging on the strut, signal the pilot to add power and blow 'em off.

This was in '79 and a 172. Times have likely changed a bit.

Thank you,

Don’t they have one yet that prevents them from peeing in their panty liners ? (I’m so ashamed of myself, only the older guys here would know what what I’m talking about). And, given they haven’t said anything, is a good indicator they have more class than I do.
But, the wife has been good, worked hard in/on our relationship and I am committed to her until the day I die. Don’t know what I would do without her. I plan on checking out first. Chicken way out.
 
You know, for a guy that looks like Sling Blades slower brother that is a pretty clever insult. Good on ya Corky!

J; For a minute there, I thought the D was calling you "Sling Blade's Shower Brother, but I re-read it and it's OK. Having said that, and with recent history in mind, I don't get the impression that spelling is one of his stronger suits......:ROFLMAO:
