pjchis 0 #405 February 4, 2006 Man, I drove to the tunnel today on my way back from Colorado Springs but I just sat in the parking lot and stared at the beauty for a minute before hurrying to school. Good thing I didn't know there was some FLYING going on or I would have skipped class!!! How was it??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phlip 0 #406 February 4, 2006 Here is how it was: http://www.skyventurecolorado.com/photo/displayimage.php?album=7&pos=0 Congratulations to Norm, Joe and the rest of the gang for all your efforts throughout those years. You guys did an awesome job building this one-of-a-kind facility and I'm glad I got to witness that first flight... a jumpsuit, a couple of cowboy boots and a smile on your face!

As far as the space in the tunnel itself goes -- as Kelli said, we'll have a great de-brief room available.
