Cool! For others who, like myself, are not familiar with zipline reserve testing, I found this video:

What a great way to make sure that your first reserve deployment is not in a situation where it needs to go properly.

Yes, I flew the B52, both G and H models. Also about 500 hours in the T38.

That's an MD88 I'm sitting in with my daughter.

While I posted in this thread already - that was 5+ years ago and the picture there was 8+ years before that so I think an update might be an idea. I like this picture from a couple of years ago: Smile

Awesome, Looks like the first weapon I was issued when I was in the Army. Was always fun getting paid to go to the range and shoot! Now some of the other stuff was not as fun...

I believe it's this:

(The word "light" in the name is a little optimistic I think! That page itself says it's 10Kg when loaded)

I think the bi-pod is the first clue that "light" might be a a misnomer.

Well if we're doing updates, the only gun I have is my left arm when I'm serving. Here's one from Nationals last year.

Ok. So a number of you might know that I don't necessarily like having my photo taken. (That's why my avatar picture has always been something else.) But, sometimes it can't be helped.

Atmel's photos on Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... amp;type=1

The picture is of Massimo Banzi at the Maker Faire in the Bay area a couple of weeks (or so) ago.

The guy in the blue shirt is me. Well, ok, the back of me. Wink

I'm sure that more photos of me will probably come out some time...
