Gravity is clearly unconstitutional, as it deprives one of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Had my druther's, would not be within a thousand miles of NJ.

No love of Calif anymore, but i was born there. If I had to go, might as well be near where I was born, not some godforsaken liberal cesspool.

Thanks...now I’m stuck on youtube listening to CCR ;)

I forgot how the bionic woman sustained her injuries...It’s been forever since I’ve seen that show.

Good stuff, but my 71 yr old bones are not into jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. The landing and my back are of concern or I might try it.

Wife will not let me even try a modern sportbike, though I used to road race the darn things decades ago. Something about slower bone healing, she says.

Where you going to find a landing zone in Lodi NJ? Route 46 west?

[libh8er]

Why couldn’t she wait for the plane to land ?

Those were pictures from the “Bionic Woman” TV show. (tennis pro Jamie Sommers was almost killed in a skydiving accident).

It started in 1976 and went until 1978.

And she ain’t gonna jump no more.

Thank you for an informative post.

Nineteen people have died there since the facility opened in the early 1980s, with six of them between 2016 and 2018.

Who in their right mind would go to a facility that has had 6 fatalities in 2 years? That's like playing Russian Roulette.

For the excitement

That’s why I always jumped or dove into water...never tried sky diving.

“It started in 1976 and went until 1978.”

No wonder I don’t remember. ;) I don’t think they did a lot of reruns of the bionic women or the six million dollar man.
Not like gilligan’s island or the brady bunch.

Get a 300cc.

POTUS #41 celebrated his 90th birthday with a jump.

Tandem jumping is for queers...just saying

Shooting out of doors is scary enough!
