Kinda weird, but sky blue is the hardest to see at night. Probably during the day as well.

Canopy color, anyway.

Re: [BASE104] What is the best color to jump in
indeed. that's why I hate it when I finally see the sky-blue canopies over a landing zone when skydiving ...Mad

By the way, how did you guys decide on the canopy (and suit) colors? anything more than 'my favorite' color? any theme based color/pattern choices made? Mine was easy.... Reggae Smile

That is the point, because A. Hitlers Uniform was brown equally like the SA-Uniform.

I know...

Why did Napoleon wear red clothes? Because his soldiers should never see when he was wounded.
Why did A.Hitler wear brown trousers?

In reply to:
For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress. This principle itself is frequently referred to as Godwin's law. It is considered poor form to raise such a comparison arbitrarily with the motive of ending the thread. There is a widely recognized corollary that any such ulterior-motive invocation of Godwin's law will be unsuccessful.[

That's some heavy literary stuff there. It's actually fascinating.

good laugh ! Thanks Laugh
