scottjaco 0 #1 December 25, 2003 I am a little disapointed in the recent turnout at Skydive Taft, CA. I want to let people know that jump tickets on Mike Mullins King Air are only $10 before 9am. $14 after 9am. It's the only dropzone in Southern California that is getting jumpers to 14K in 7 minutes. This is not an advertisment.....I'm just a little worried with the turnout the last couple of weekends. If people don't come to jump, Mike probably won't come back next winter so please head up to Taft! It is definatly worth it! see ya there! scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scottjaco 0 #4 December 25, 2003 yah, it was really busy the first weekend, Its been slow the last 2 weekends. I don't really understand why. You can't beat the jump ticket price. Maybe people thought Mike was only in town for 1 weekend. He will be here through the end of march. scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jsaxton 0 #5 December 25, 2003 No, we knew that he'd be there, but it is a 5 hour drive for us Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canopywhore 0 #6 December 25, 2003 I know this isn't a good excuse for skydivers but there is this thing called Christmas and the holidays. Don't worry the people will flock to Mike like junkies needing a hit, after Jan1. Mike rocks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benny 0 #7 December 25, 2003 I wish I could be there. I did my first jump, a tandem on Mike Mullins King Air out in West Tennessee a few years ago. Sweet ride, our jump altitude was 14.8K that day! Never go to a DZ strip show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta spend some scratch on them or I'm out in the cold rain without a dime... I have no intention of letting this slip by, I'll get up there somehow. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

scottjaco 0 #9 December 26, 2003 Got a wife and two teenage kids*** yah, the "wife factor" is a big deal especially if she doesn't jump. Bummer...I just don't want Mike to give up on Taft and go somwhere else next winter. I heard some japanese skydivers are coming up soon to jump Mikes plane. I guess they follow him around every winter! scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
