bill2 0 #1 May 5, 2004 I can't remember where I heard it, on the web or someone at Byron, but I though a wind tunnel was supposed to start up here in the bay area in CA. Maybe the east bay? Does anyone know? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew someone was investigating it seriously, but didn't know it had moved much further. Though in looking at the website (opening May 2004), I guess we shouldn't be too thrilled yet. It took Perris what, 6 months from ground breaking to open to public status? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never been in a tunnel and would like to try it sometime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW - Wonder what it would be like to be in the tunnel during a rolling blackout? That would have to hurt._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

And only $39 will get you here on Southwest..... $39 gets you close, but not to Perris! Is Ontario the closest airport, or John Wayne? I drove 1150 miles and spent nearly $1500 there this weekend. It was worth it...but I'd be happier to drive 30 miles to Union City. I only did 2 15 minute sessions (fri/sat) and I'm still sore! (yeah, it's due in large part to my inexperience) If it's close, I can space it out a bit more. OTOH, just sitting at Perris and hearing the occasional - 5 minutes for $50 right now, come on over - is great too. Even if this place gets off the ground, it's worth taking another trip down south. I had a great time and was quite impressed by the large number of jumpers there trying to be the best they could be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
