RevJim 0 #1 July 20, 2004 Hey all. Just a simple poll to get the feel of the vibe out there. I, among others, REALLY want to see Rod return to the skys over Rantoul, and I, among others, am/are wondering what everyone else thinks. Feel free to expound on your answer, and PLEASE VOTE! Myself, Rod, COME BACK! We miss you! I can't think of a better pilot to moon (thank god that didn't make the video).It's your life, live it!

tandembrent 0 #3 July 20, 2004 an excellent question to put out there. the question is so obvious that it seems out of place or something.... no offence intended! the man and his machine can do things that probably are illegal in some parts of the world, i'm sure glad they aren't illegal here! Rod gave absolutely the most insane and thrilling ride that i've ever had in any aircraft to date! i laughed from the instant we were in the air until it was time to get to altitude. but never, repeat, never felt that Rod ever put his passengers , his crew or his machine in danger! that which is in the past has to stay exactly there in order for us to move forward. please come back and play with us Rod you are definately missed! brent ***~~~~Green grass and high clouds forever~~~~ no matter where you go, there you are!

RevJim 0 #5 July 20, 2004 QuoteAfter a chat with Rod, I am pretty sure he loves all the jumpers and values their respect, but I doubt he ever wants to fly at WFFC again. I have heard that, and the exact opposite from many, many jumpers. NEVER from Rod. Let's not ad lib here, ok J.P? This is a vibe thread, sorta, and it may go either way, that I admit. Just please, let's keep it a bit on the lighter side, ok?It's your life, live it!

NightJumper 0 #6 July 20, 2004 QuoteAfter a chat with Rod, I am pretty sure he loves all the jumpers and values their respect, but I doubt he ever wants to fly at WFFC again. I think he would love to but won't for other reasons. Spoke to him at Gold Coast and saw his new ship with 53 hours TT on it. For anyone that ever rode with him, he had as much fun as you did.

I see no negatives, yet, and that makes me feel good. Sure, it probably won't bring Rod back, but I'm making sure he knows we did not forget about him, and miss him.It's your life, live it!
