    And, to add to that line of thinking............

    Any landing that you can walk away from........is a Great landing!

    - Because there is NO such thing as a 'perfectly good airplane!"
    - Because the Door was OPEN!
    :)

    The toaster is the travelling trophy (kinda like SloMo) for Hayabusa.org (me, Twobrothers and Tiller are regulars there); It started out as a joke, but has gained status thru the years. It's been deployed to Iraq, it's been all over the country, and - so when I got it, I had to figure out how to top it - so I figured "why not jump it?"

    Here's a link to the vid very tongue in cheek..

    I think it was due to some staff members and others being a bit aggressive with a newbie... Nothing to do with me, man... Not this time!

    Guy asked about an inexpensive suit and got nuked hard... Then, an established track day guy tried to take the high road and try to say that some may not be able to afford the high end gear proposed and he got nuked.

    Lots of nuking going on from a simple green horn question...

    Back in the day I jumped out of three planes that had "less than stellar" landings after we jumped. One of those being in the water..... one was the pilot turning around at about 6k feet and yelling GTFO as the engine dies and lots of little blinky things lit up the instrument panels.

    So jumping out was more fun and I guess safer!

    ^^^ Yeah, what's up with THAT?! We'll let the toasting during freefall slide. Why are motorcyclists the dangerous ones?

    Need something to do? Go get yourself a puppy. Then you'll have something to do every 2 hours for the next 4 weeks - Let the dog out!

    Uh, several people blasted the other guy and the OP. Great way to give a warm welcome to potential customers. I think that's the bottom line as to why it was dumped...

    Didn't see anyone correcting the record... I saw a lot of nuking going on... It was a shame and glad they got rid of it.

    Calm down. Nobody got blasted or nuked, there was no personal comments made by anyone about anyone and I was one of several trying to save some skin. I say its a shame the thread is gone. Solid advice given there
