Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Happy Memorial Day!
I'll be busy flying all day tomorrow and doing some flag jumps for the holiday but I'd like to remind everyone what Memorial Day is about. I'm sure the BBQ's are fun and the yard sales are everywhere but the holiday is about the service members that gave the ultimate sacrifice.
I personally witnessed a good friend of mine and fellow Marine's helicopter get shot down over Iraq the first day of the war back in 2003. CPL Brian Kennedy and everyone on that helicopter were killed less than an hour after we crossed into Iraq. Since then I have a flag that I keep in my house to keep his memory alive.
When I started skydiving I decided to take his flag up for a jump on Memorial Day every year. Tomorrow my dropzone teamed up with the Wounded Warrior Project and are donating 10 tandem jump packages to wounded veterans. We are also holding raffles for prizes, gift certificates and other goodies that were all donated by local businesses. 100% of what is made will go directly to the WWP. Please keep in mind the real reason for the holiday!
The pic below is me in my desert camoflage with his flag behind me on Memorial Day 2012.
