trying to figure out if people are going to want to practice on friday, may 16. Speak up if you plan on it so i can make sure we have a pilot to fly loads that friday.
Good luck there guys. unfortunately, i will be skipping the last two FLCPA meets... No direct or cheap flights. The upside is - at least I'll be saving the lunch money. The downside is - it doesn't matter since you'll take it at the Nationals :)
i don't know of any hotels that close to the DZ, but there are some about 20 minutes away. not sure wich ones are good, you might want to ask McNenney.
Lets try to figure out what time people want to start on friday. it takes 4 to fly and i need to let the pilot know what time to be there.
Thats right, Beek, McNenney said everyone can crash at his place. He said everyone was welcome. You can drink and party there. So dont hesitate to call him up when you get in town, late at night. Or dont even call - just show up at his house he'll be happy to see you. He said that.

FYI - it's not just his place. And I'm not afraid to get feisty...

We did ask him if it would be ok with you, but he laughed and said that he knew how to control his woman. And that he didnt really care what she had to say anyway. Seriously. Thats what he said, i got like 5 witnesses.
P.S. Gosh, i sure do hope i didnt get him in any trouble... He is not grounded is he? He'd still be able to swoop at the meet right?
btw, did he say he's been drinking beer and playing cards again? and losing money?

We will open at Noon on Friday. Pilot is lined up. There didn't seem to be a huge interest -at least not in this forum- about Friday practice jumps, so we'll probably just fly 1 C-182. Let me know if we need more. BTW. if you've never been here. The landing area is huge (the whole airport if need be) and very nice, very level grass. No taxi-ways.
Any chance that it could be a bit earlier? I can account for at least 6 people that are interested. (Craig, Pia, Chris M, Steve, Chris W,and myself) We were all talking about 4 jumps a piece. Any chance fro at least 10:00, the weather is looking shady in the afternoon. Email me if you have any diect questions. kameraflyr@yahoo.com thanks... Bryan
I can be there at 8 - whatever time load 1 will be - I will be there. SOMEBODY pls call me when this is decided as I wont have internet after today. My Palm cant handle this website.
Greg and I will be rolling in Thursday afternoon and can start anytime on Friday.
Dropzone just said they will be starting no later than noon but may begin as early as 10am. They are going to give me a call if 10am happens. I can give you a ring if you like.
Did you make it to Chicago? I wanted to but didn't work out with the team. Maybe later.....
OK we will open at 10 AM Friday so you guys can get started on your practice jumps. If you are staying in Tallahassee, check out our website for driving directions. http://www.skydivetallahassee.com
Anyone who wants to ride up, I am leaving Deland in the party bus on Thursday around noonish. I'm driving so you can sit in the back and make cocktails for everyone. We've got 3 Cessna's at our disposal and there are probably going to be some locals who are going to come out and spectate.
I bought some new noodles. Hopefully nobody slices these in 1/2?!?!
Beek got lucky AGAIN? Last year - same thing, comp to comp, 1st-2nd-1st... taking my lunch money... this year same story?! just lucky as hell i guess :) Congrats man!

There was some very good flying, Mike. It was a very high scoring meet and very few verts. You'll see when the scores are posted. The dz vibe, weather, pilots, competitors were all in sync...it was a really terrific meet on every level.
Beek squeeked into 1st place at the last second, bastard
In all seriousness, we had some goofy conditions (high, shifting uppers, up and down ground winds ranging from 5-10, etc) and the times/distances will show that. The results were VERY close and EVERYONE did great.
Always good fly with you all.
Blues, Ian
