The jumpers were at Perris Jump Zone and hadn't asked for permission before jumping.
It was close, very close, and thed KC-10 was doing about 250 knots.

Barack Obama (Democrat) 69,498,516 52.93%
John McCain (Republican) 59,948,323 45.65%
If the vote total in 2012 were the same as 2008, but 6 million Obama voters support Romney instead, Romney wins. But is it possible that 15 or 20 million people are so disgusted with Obama that they would support Romney? Imagine a vote total of 49 million for Obama and 79 million for Romney!
Who was it who said, “No reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.”? LOL.
That makes sense.
Don’t shuttles travel at something like 15,000-24,000 mph in space? That’s coming-in pretty “hot”... don’t they turn ‘em around and do a burn to slow down?
The 47%...
[Calmly with that slight smile)
‘Mr. president, when I’m elected, I will have taken a vow to represent all the people of our United States, even if we were to have 57 of them, by your count and I will keep that vow’.
...or equivalent.
Romney hasn’t been at Bain for 20 years, and the public in general has no idea what he did or didn’t do while he was there. Obama has been there 4 years and the overwhelming number of voters know EXACTLY what he has done. Yeah, go ahead and go after Romney on his performance on Bain. Go ahead, make his day.
i tell people to do the little training thing - put on a jump suit - because everyone’s butt looks good in a jumpsuit - get in the plane and then decide
no one has ever backed out in the plane or regretted the jump
and i don't think any of the guys have ever been peed or puked on

17,450 mph for an orbital altitude of 200 miles, assuming a circular track. There is a “retro” burn to slow the velocity to just below orbital speed so the spacecraft starts to contract the air, but most of the braking is from air friction.
Alternate version... :)
my forte is flipping the burgers at the dz and spouting safety lectures - and worrying about how they packed the canopy - saying ‘no swooping’
all of it gets ignored except the burgers
wet blankets are a drag but every dz needs one
I disagree. Someone in Washington wanted Ambassador Stevens dead.
Col. Hunt On The Newest Libyan Revelations (huge coverup!) WRKO Howie Carr radio interview
Col. Hunt says the attack in Benghazi went on for six hours -- all the while U.S. personnel under attack were in contact with personnel at all White House, State, CIA, DoD . . . agencies -- and nothing was done.
Did someone in Washington want Ambassador Stevens dead? Did the "know too much"? It would not be the first time.
In years past John Christopher Stevens, known as Chris, was described as "a 20-year Arabic-speaking veteran of the State Department who has been a senior diplomat in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and had postings in Damascus, Cairo and other Middle Eastern locales . . . [he has] a broad knowledge of the Arab world . . . [and] has a good deal of cross-cultural comfort . . . [professionally he] has an unflappable, but not nerdy personality. . . He listens to people. He’s the quintessential diplomat."
Seems to me that Stevens surely knew a lot given his contacts and savvy. Did he know too much? Was he threatening to tell all about how radical Islam's successes were greater than one would expect in an "Arab Spring" -- more like an Arab Sprint for the Muslim Brotherhood encouraged by Washington? Appears to be a lot of Islamists infiltrating there. . . .
CNN found a seven-page handwritten journal.. that's all?
Re: call about David Hunt interview: What you called the “panic button” is the “duh” button. According to Hunt, it is automatic protocol-— no decision needed, no panic...AUTOMATIC.
Furthermore, Hunt said anyone who has ever been on watch in these command centers knows he is correct; it’s automatic.
He called it the elephant in the living room.
