Pammi 0 #1 March 19, 2001 So...how many of you are actually going to try to go to Quincy this year?? I really really want to if I can get 25 more jumps to have my 50 (shouldn't be a problem) and can pull the cash together since we've spent so much already buying all of our gear. At least for a weekend would be cool. Anyone else?Pammi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #2 March 19, 2001 Pammi, I am so there!!!Only problem is, I am on 33 jumps at the moment and with the English weather I will probably still be on 33 jumps by August... Just kidding, I think Quincy will be a good time for a lot of the cyber beers that have been earned here to be converted into the real thing./s[drop till you party!] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pammi 0 #3 March 19, 2001 Yeah, I had some concerns about still be a relatively 'low-timer' at Quincy, but I hear there are lots of places to land that people *aren't* swooping in at 110 mph :) I really hope to be there...we'll have to all talk about who's going to be there when it gets closer to hook up!Pammi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchboy 0 #4 March 19, 2001 I'm hoping to finish my plane and fly it up to a convention in Wisconson the week before and then fly down to Quincy. If the plane is done I'm definitely there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danhole 0 #5 March 19, 2001 I'll be there. I missed it last year (not enough jumps) but this year I have no problem . Jumping out of CASAs, helicopters, up all night partying. I can wait.See you there...I am sofa king horn knee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #6 March 19, 2001 Clark dragging you out to Quincy? tell him he left his locker open... since freeze fest. toast was gonna raffle the stuff in there off. =c)Stacyhttp://astro.temple.edu/~sweeks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MC208B 0 #7 March 19, 2001 I'm going to try to make Lost Prairie and Quincy this year, will at least make Lost Prairie. I was kinda freaked out at Lost Prairie last year, 500 jumpers, 45 Twin Otter loads and maybe 35 Skyvan loads a day. Prior to that I had only jumped 182's and DHC2's. Got into it real well tho. Imagine a boogie with 5,000 jumpers and tons of planes....Sounds like the place to be! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Mike, I have already booked the time off of work for Lost Prairie, we'll have to get together for some jumps...or at least some drinks. We have to work on getting Stacey out too (she mentioned before she is thinking about coming) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Zennie 0 #9 March 19, 2001 QuoteI'm hoping to finish my plane and fly it up to a convention in Wisconson the week before and then fly down to Quincy.Would that be the EAA show in Oshkosh?------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Dutchboy 0 #10 March 19, 2001 QuoteWould that be the EAA show in Oshkosh?Yep, I haven't been to Oshkosh since I started building this thing in October '96.

I haven't seen any of these demos since I got off of whuffo status.BTW, I have flown in a B-17 which was way cool. I got to be on a ferry flight from my EAA chapter to the next one a couple hours away (by car).
