cgross 1 #1 February 12, 2003 Hello all, I was just at this site http://www.skyventure.com/usmap.htm It shows a tunnel under construction in NJ. That would f***ing rock for us up here in the northeast. I am wondering if anyone here has any info at all as to when it will be completed, or expected to be!!! Any news would be great!!

tombuch 0 #6 February 13, 2003 QuoteHello all, I was just at this site http://www.skyventure.com/usmap.htm It shows a tunnel under construction in NJ. It just shows the site is "under development" not construction. Development is a long way from the construction phase.Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!

weid14 0 #7 February 13, 2003 yeah, my feeling is they keep announcing a tunnel in Jersey to make it less attractive for another company to build there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #8 February 13, 2003 I thought I heard something about a tunnel going up somewhere in the Chicago area too- That would TOTALLY rock!! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arlo 0 #9 February 13, 2003 Hey guys- keep in mind that this is a new website for Skyventure and all the info is still being tweeked. NJ is in the future (at least it is today) but as TomBuch said, big difference between "under construction" and "under development..." If you check out the one for Colorado (which IS going to happen, BTW) there are pics on the website of people flying in the tunnel and also a map to the location....even though ground has yet to be broken. :) They're understandably anxious to get it up and running. hope this (off the record) answers some questions....and that's all i got to say about that. blues, arlo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerm 0 #11 February 13, 2003 From what i read it's supposed to go into a new recreation complex in Trenton with a motocross park/ skatepark and some other stuff. Last i heard they were nailing down a location and trying to finalize the funding for the whole project.. that was probably 6-8 months ago.

tombuch 0 #16 February 13, 2003 QuoteWhat are you talking about? The site i linked to said "Under Construction". Interesting. When I clicked on your link originally I saw a page with "under development" and a lot more locations. Now it's showing a smaller number of sites "under construction."Tom Buchanan Instructor Emeritus Comm Pilot MSEL,G Author: JUMP!

dreamsville 0 #17 February 13, 2003 Sometime last summer I received an email from Bill Kitchen that there was a site "under contract" in the Chicago area for a wind tunnel. My guess is that the economy has something to do with no "dot" on the map around Chicago now, but some day I hope someone will decide to put one in this region I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane. Harry, FB #4143 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
