Recommended Posts

Wow,

I really hope that everyone is okay. I'm glad to hear that you were able to safely get the skydiving gear, and planes out. I wish you guys the best of luck.

All four sides of the DZ are pitch black with burnt vegitation. Several poles along the edge of the property were still on fire with little flames. Several 5 gallon water jugs took care of that.



That's awesome.

PLEASE post pics!

Congrats and looks like the good vibes, and crazy larry helped! A small shining spot in a terrable tragety that is still going on for thousands of peoplke down there. That is where our good vibes should be heading right now!

Buzz, throw up some pictures if you can!

That is such wonderful news. I'm so glad the DZ and all it's folks made it through safely. Now next time I'm out there I'll have to come see you all.

I've been following the fires and these threads since the weekend and am really glad everyone (and the DZ) are ok (for the most part). From the few pics shared, it looks like a cool place. Might have to check it out sometime soon and get it on my list of "Been there - done that" :P ...Have 3 more months before my 2nd skybirthday ;)

Keep us posted on the "reopening" and I know I'd love to see more pics if you have the time.

Hugs to all......D

I'm here now..drove to Perris on Monday and they were at 11K early in the day and did hop and pops to 5K around 1pm and then decided to close. They were focusing on getting ready for the festival and putting up movie screens and all. Wind tunnel still isn't open! Ugh![:/]

This thread is about the Cedar fire back in 2003.

The Harris Fire 2007 that is still burning managed to burn around us as well and the DZ is in great shape. We are still under a TFR (temporary flight restriction) until further notice, and we don't know if we will be having a very good boogie this weekend, but we are open and unscathed!
