1979 Meet at the Chicken Ranch

Recommended Posts

Hi TB,
Just read thru all th posts by Spark, Harry, Bully etc about the good ol' daze at Frans'!!! I wasn't there but I know Sandy, Bill, Harry L., Bob Jones (that crashed the Beech) and a host of others from those daze. Well, I'd like to ad a twist to the story about Sandy and the "first prize!!" Seems as the spin on the story goes when it made it to Perris, Elsinore and San Diego was that this kid named "Jerry Bingston" actually won the first prize good times with a hooker for the accuracy event but because of his good "Christian" up-bringing (anyone remember Jerry??????????????) declined the prize and said,"Anyone want this prize??" and Sandy took it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember Sandy got the prize but Jerry won it! Joe Crotwell may be able to back me up on this one if he is still alive?? (Spark, howz he doin'??? 'Havn't been able to talk to my old skybuddy since the crash!!) Joe, myself and Jerry used to work together at Drugless Aircraft in Long Beach back on the ACES II program along with the late Max Kelly, Nanc Gruttman and Ron Haun, Bob (Pecker head) Zinn, Jim Buckley and Willie (Tako Bill) Manbo.

Like I said, just thought I'd add a twist to this story as that's how I heard it at the DZ and nobody else ever said anything different??

Yeah Bill, I do remember Jerry Bingston, he used to jump at Otay a lot. Joe Crotwell too. You jogged my memory there and I do recall hearing the story that Jerry had won a prize and passed on it because of his religious beliefs. I was more surprised that Jerry would even be there at all, but to each his own I guess...

Well, now that you mention it! No shit, there I was. Didn't win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, but the guy that won 1st place was a Virgin and gave me his 30 min. Yes, I am female. I knew this guy would win, so I asked at the awards dinner if he would give me his prize. He did, and were my male friends pissed. They said what are you going to do with 30 min? Well, to this day they are probably still wondering. I'll never tell!!! LOL I love to B.S. all my skydiving buddies. This happened in the 70's. There was a wrecked plane at the entrance. It was Fran's Star Ranch then. I recently saw it on Spike TV as The Chicken Ranch. Small World. HUH? This really did happen. I am a skydiver. We are a select bunch of crazies. We have lots of fun and do very crazy things. I'm thinking that one of our Pilots crashed that plane that weekend. Been a long time, not sure. I'm OLD now. LOL LOL

Bill!!!! How could you tarnish my name like that? Wow, what a weekend. Yes, it's true. You have a good memory. Too good. I already spilled my guts about this, then I saw your note. How funny? How the hell are ya? Remember the weekend in Otay? I think I spelled it right. Remember when we went to the bar? The band was playing for us and I gave them a show too. Those were the days. Sometimes I am shocked at the things I did. I was just CRAZY, I guess. Wasser reminded me of the bar thing. LOVE IT!!!!! LOL Hey, I'm Air Trash now. Sooo Cool. Write me, I'd love to hear what you are up to. SANDY

Frank! Who are you? I did not go with 2 women. It was just one and it was 30 min. I watched her and Bill, then threw him out. I caught him in a closet with some Bitch that was doing all the truck drivers from her CB radio, (where she heard about the meet). So, when I got the time with the (redhead) I threw him out for a payback. He was really pissed cuz he wanted to watch. When I came out of the room, Fran asked me if I had enough or would I like more time. I said no thanx I'm good and the redhead said, Yeah, she sure was good. Bill was fuming. I was cracking up. When I got back to Elsinore, none of the guys would let me talk to their wives. I wonder why??? LOL LOL Sandy

Sandy-

You're bringing back a lot of good memories!

Those were the days!

Skydivers have more fun than people!!!

Remember when sex was safe and skydiving was dangerous?

Blue Skies!

The last "Whorehouse Boogie" was supported by Van Pray from Cal City in the mid 90s....I was doing tandems. There were some interesting tradeouts being done.
Damn...those were some good times.

So, they haven't done one of these in ten years ? What the fuck is up with THAT ?? Just wondering....

Maybe the new wave jumpers don't wanna do that stuff when they can go to a local boogie and have a good time:|

Or the old joke about the sperm eggs looking out the jump door one says to the other " remember when jumping was dangerous and and sex was ....(fogot the last word)B|

Could be different demographic's[:/]

I agree with th demographics. We were a different bunch then, Tom.
The new kids are having just as much fun but differently.
Just as we took the torch long ago...its been passed again.

Frans Star Ranch at Beatty Nevada.
The Beech that crashed was from Yolo.....its still sitting there off the runway out by the highway.
The last "Whorehouse Boogie" was supported by Van Pray from Cal City in the mid 90s....I was doing tandems. There were some interesting tradeouts being done.
Damn...those were some good times. "

It was called "The 1st annual Hooker Boogie"

West Coast Otter was aircraft, the door came off in flight during the boogie, people landing next to town people, having picnics on the ground, the town supplied coffee and donuts, there was a accuracy contest, landing on a mattress. Got very thermal doing that jump I actually went up ~1000 feet under canopy, a lady also had her dyter go back off during this jump!
She wrote this in my log book.
Only had three girls working.
Yes, I was there..it was along time ago! hahaha
Bill Eberly, I think had something to do with the event!

I just figured this thread was worth a bump & it looks like I was right. (Besides, the wife would strangle me with a pull up cord...).

You're right about the new generation too, they'd rather spend even MORE money - in a wind tunnel ! (Though I've heard some pretty good rumors about the things you can do in a wind tunnel if you bring plenty of lube...)
