Feeblemind 1 #176 September 11, 2006 Hey All, Not to be labeled a turbine snob, but unfortunately I am going to have to cancel I lost the use of the the motor home to the owner (My Father), my son just got his soccer schedule and has a game Sat. Morning at 9:00 am the wife and I are putting in a swimming pool, etc etc etc. As much as I would like to hang out and enjoy the camaraderie with fellow skydivers, I feel my son's game and some time with the family would better serve me than being gone for three days basically partying.

CSpenceFLY 1 #177 September 11, 2006 I would not hesitate for a moment to post the details of what happened to the plane.I think that everyone should feel personally screwed by this DZO.I would not and DO NOT support people that do business this way. Lisa I'm sure you have put together a fine event and everyone will have a good time despite this stumbling block.And now you know who not to do business with next time.I am sorry I won't make it.A combination of my Mountain Boogie fiasco,recent vehicle expense and the damn termites killed my long range boogie plans. .

The details do not need to be discussed on a public forum. Suffice it to say that the aircraft owner made the best decision he could for his business - likely any of us would have made the same decision if they were him. I will not badmouth him here or anyplace else. Am I happy about this situation? Not even close to happy, but again, I'll get over it. Am I a bit upset with the people who won't be coming simply because there won't be a turbine available for the entire event? Yeah, I am, but I'll get over that too.

Elisha 1 #180 September 11, 2006 Quote The 206 we'll be jumping is being provided by Dave Hughes from Skydive Santa Barbara (Lompoc). I just got off the phone with him and there's a very good possibility that after they are done with tandems down there he can bring a load of people up in his Caravan and we can have that to jump Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. g And to just add some warm fuzzies by someone who won't, but would like to be there, Dave Hughes is a swell guy.

Yeah, I am, but I'll get over that too. I'll be there, of course, because there's more to this boogie than the planes, but I can't fault the people who are choosing not to come because of the aircraft. Different people choose boogies for different reasons. I suspect if you could guarantee the same (or close to the same) lift capacity with non-turbines, there are people who are backing out who would still be coming. The fact that the lift capacity has been drastically reduced, though, is a concern for those who really want the chance to jump their ass off. There's no getting around that, turbine snobbery or not. I choose my boogies because of the people and the atmosphere, not the planes. Anyone who asks me what aircraft are at Lost Prairie always gets a dismissive wave from me "oh, there's a Skyvan and Otter and King Air but that's not really the point of LP." Same goes for this one... for me.

Coming from the north heading south I would take the same or you could also take the Mission street exit. I also just want to mention to folks that regardless of the plane issues or whatever this is a really fun place to chill. It's a remote area, incredibly peaceful and visually beutiful. With a Cessna it's going to be a littles lower but still tons of fun. Also if there is enough demand and things slow down in lompoc I think Lisa mentioned that the Caravan would come up... Kari and I and my GF will be down late Friday evening. PM me some #'s so I can call when we get down and meet up with folks...

After exiting go east, down the hill past the gas station (trust me it's easy to know with that description which way to go)... Go to Mission street and take a left... Take a right on San Miguel / 14th street... Go acroos the bridge and San Miguel / 14th street becomes River Road... Keep going down River Road and take a left on Estrella Road... Star Farms will be on your right after a mile or three...

Therefore I think it's ok should Lisa decide to tell us what happened, afterall, it was the DZO's decision and he/she needs to live by it and should not be asahamed of his/her actions.
