SkySlut 0 #1 January 29, 2003 Just got back from the PIA...man, my head hurts!!! There were some really cool things going on there. Sunpath had a rig that was decorated as a Jaguar...all fur with a big cat head on the main flap...fully functional!!! I wouldnt jump it, but entertaining anyways...the simulators have been upgraded substantially (although, not enough to pay $15K for) Wings had some hot chicks walking around with balloons, Jari from Birdman still cant get into the country so Vladi was a standin. Saw a bunch of tiny canopies, etc. Good time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were also some snakeskin rigs...nasty looking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites diverdriver 5 #6 January 29, 2003 Did anyone go the the talk by the NTSB representative?

The networking one can accomplish at an event like this is incredible. I can't walk five paces without getting into a long discussion with an old friend or vendor. It is also a great place to acquire new sponsors.......Thanks to PD for picking me up for this year.
