So, if this law was passed, Minneapolis Residents could shut down MSP international airport because of noise? I hope they think this thru.

Sad News..... The Original owner of the "Baldwin Sport Parachute Center" (1970's and 1980's) Randy Iverson has died. I don't have a lot of details yet, but I will update this when I have more info. Blue Skies Randy!!!

Mike was gracious enough to send me an autographed copy. It occupies an important space in my home. Thanks Mike!!

Ron will do very well in this position. Congratulations Ron.

If you've never jumped one, here's your chance.

Skydive Twin Cities has a great "Load Organizer" program. They have several LO's to help round up and organize jumpers from various disciplines. The LO's main goal is to see to it that everyone has fun. They use social media to encourage jumpers to show up. The LO's all work hard to teach important skills to the Newbs. You see, the sooner we teach them to fly, the sooner they can help us build successful bigger ways. In case you don't know this, you can have fun and learn to be a better skydiver at the same time.

Fertilizer! Makes a nice green mark and lasts for a couple months. It does take a week or so to show up, so, you'll have to plan ahead....which, by the way, is a great skill to have if you're going to do demos. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

I don't know if I've shared this before, but, I almost had a date once.

Shall we switch that order around? No need to switch the order. "We all need to continue to learn in this sport" was my point. I wasn't trying to place blame or rank any ones level of Dickness. Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

Yes, but a well though out, calm conversation can diffuse the situation. We keep referring to the OP as a student. I think it's important to remember that at 60+ jumps, the OP probably doesn't see himself as a student. However, we're all students in this sport, even the "senior" TI who clearly has some lessons to learn. Today's lesson... 1. Don't take too long in the door. 2. Don't scream at people who may be taking too long.

I call all my main canopies the same... "Open you Mother#*cker"!! Birdshit & Fools Productions "Son, only two things fall from the sky."

First of all, what's a senior TI? Here's the best advise I've got for ya... Go talk to the TI. Tell him what you were thinking, listen to what he has to say, ask other Instructors for their opinion, and call this a teachable moment. You've gotta get along with him (the TI) in the future, let him know your a student that wants to learn. And, my guess is, he'll probably feel like a jackass for being one.
