A weekend or two ago at Strathalbyn airstrip, South Australia, we were watching a planeload of student parachutists on jump run in good conditions when the plane circled around again and radioed down to us for a weather check. EXPLANATION: One particularly large skydiver had gone to sleep on one arm of our target cross, turning it from an X (all clear) to a T. The plastic cross was cleaner than the grass. You can choose your own moral to this story: Moral1: Put a fence around your cross. Moral2: Use a dirty, grotty-looking cross. Moral3: Write "do not lie on this cross" on your cross. Moral4: Ban large skydivers. Moral5: Ban skinny crosses. Blue Skies, Ross Williams ross@spam.ua.oz.au
