  Terrorism - In the Spotlight: The Palestine Liberation Front (PLF)
In December 1967, PLF joined forces with the Heroes of the Return and The Youth of Revenge groups to form the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Despite changes in leadership, the PLF stayed true to its objective: destruction of the state of Israel and the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Because of the PLF's support of UN Resolution 242 — the cornerstone of Middle East diplomatic efforts since 1967 — it became eligible to receive substantial amounts of financial aid from Yasser Arafat.

In 1967 the PLF merged with two other groups, the Arab Nationalist Movement-affiliated Heroes of the Return (abtal al-awda) and The Youth of the Revenge Group, to form the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Until recently the leaders of the PLF were active in the PLO with Abu Abbas acting as PLF representative in the PLO's executive committee.
In May 1990, the PLF lauched an attack on Israel's Nizanim beach, near Tel-Aviv, urged on by Iraq to torpedo the moves towards a negotiated solution between the PLO and Israel.

 Dropzone.com Skydive Forums: Skydiving: Safety and Training: DownWind Landings - PLF or Slide In?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Whether you slide or PLF, the most important thing to remember when landing downwind is that you still need to flare at the same, correct height.
As someone who experienced an L1 fracture from landing on my butt, I would advocate PLF every possible opportunity before slide, unless slide is necessary from a personal injury point of view (ie, upper body injury and need to avoid banging it around in a plf).
The PLF is a safe way to land when you need to dissipate vertical energy from a landing and in most cases horizontal speed is irrelevant though it does make a good PLF easier.
