Bowen 0 #1 August 12, 2006 Hey everyone on Thursday I am leaving to tour all 8 permanent tunnels in the US. My trip unfolds in this order: Wednesday: SkyVenture Orlando Thursday: SkyVenture Perris Valley Friday: Flyaway Vegas Saturday: SkyVenture Arizona Sunday: SkyVenture Colorado Monday: AAC’s L1 and then to Flyaway Pigeon forge Tuesday: SkyVenture New Hampshire I work at Orlando so I am going to fly in the tunnel on Wednesday night and fly out to LA the next Morning. After I wrap up the trip I am going to submit an article to Parachutist and if that fails to get published I have been told by my friends at PD that they will put the story on the PD web site. Thank you to all those that helped me out with discounted or free fly time. This trip has been very expensive and every little bit has helped tremendously. I am looking forward to meeting all those that call (_______) they’re home tunnel. See you all next week.

Paige 0 #2 August 12, 2006 Be sure to fly lots at each tunnel. It's quality not quantity Tunnel Pink Mafia Delegate www.TunnelPinkMafia.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulipod 0 #3 August 12, 2006 I think you should trip across the pond too - may as well make a full set! We will add tunnel time if you make it this far Bodyflight Bedford www.bodyflight.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 3 #4 August 12, 2006 Yes! I volunteer Paul to sponsor you on that trip, Bowen! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewels 0 #5 August 12, 2006 SWEET tour--just not nearly long enough! I'm glad that Colorful Colorado is on your route. I'm biased and have never been to other tunnels to compare, but I love ours and hope you enjoy it, too. JulieTPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodyflight.Net 0 #6 August 12, 2006 Hey Bowen, Have you called AAC about Monday? They are usually closed on Monday and Tuesday, but often make exceptions for traveling tunnel junkies. Love to go with to PF and see you at AAC when your here too... give me a call... Paige has my number or pm me! See you soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VegasBrad 0 #7 August 12, 2006 Bowen you rock! Myself and three other Vegas rats took a similar trip in May. We hit up Eloy, Pigeon Forge, AAC, and Denver, and had a goddamn blast. I look forward to flying with you on Friday.Brad Hess Manager Vegas Indoor Skydiving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bodyflight.Net 0 #9 August 13, 2006 Awesome!!! Although I HIGHLY recommed doing PF first, and I mean first class of the day... otherwise it really does get uncomfortably HOT in there, last time I thought my flex-z's were going to melt... it's only an hour from one to the other tunnel... there is still plenty of time & availability on Monday to 'adjust' your time slot if you needed to. Can't wait to see you again! We can meet at 1 tunnel and you can follow me to the next! It'll be nice & I will be honored to accompany you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Bowen 0 #10 August 16, 2006 Hey Dawn, Who should I call about moving my time to the afternoon at the L1. You are right I should fly in P.F. when its morning. -BowenRetired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Bodyflight.Net 0 #11 August 16, 2006 Hey Bowen, I'll send you my # via pm or just pm me to make arrangements. Flyaway, we just called, will open up at 9:45 am so that is the time to be there. We can go directly to L1 and be there by say 11 or 11:30 at the latest.. how much time are you looking to fly in PF.. I'm guessing just a novelty flight of a few minutes.. so both are do-able in the a.m. Anyway.. just let me know if that works for you.. John can relay the message & adjust your reservation on Monday for you.. he's thinking about skipping out on work that a.m. anyway to join us both.. is that cool?

List them in order starting with your favorite and it can't be Orlando just because you work there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Bowen 0 #14 September 4, 2006 Hey everyone. I am in the middle of writing an article to submit to a magazine so I don’t want to get into it all that much but I will say That Arizona is by far my favorite tunnel. I will try to put together a more detailed list later this week. As far as having fun, I had a blast at each and every tunnel I went to. I saw some amazing, mind blowing things and met the coolest, friendliest people. Special thanks to the Suiter family for taking me under their wing and rolling out the red carpet. You guys treated me like family, Thank you. -Bowen ________________________________________________________________Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
