  1. How do you vary the wind speeds of the separate chambers while using a single wind source?
  2. Hello Tunnel Rats, I haven't visited in a while but I just found this tread about Carl and had to jump in. Carl, you're the man. As much fun as we had flying with you, you should know that you flew better than most. Teachers aren't shit without students who really want to learn. Good job dude. Everyone keep an eye out for this guy. We could be reading about him in parachutist one day. He's a damn quick learner. Keep on Flyin' Keith

    "if I'm around another one sure I'd fly that too, why not? " That's the idea. Fly every tunnel you can. Wind tunnel designs vary in many ways. Flying different tunnels will only make you a better flyer.
  4. 10 tunnels at age 10. That is soooo cool. We shot a Dannon Yogurt commercial here last fall. It was hard to find a kid with the skills to satisfy the director. Wish we had Lexi here back then. It's hard to belive, but the wife doesn't really fly that much. Sarah is another story. She's been flying since she was 9. She just turn 17 last month. Now that things have changed, she's been flying much more. I'll extend the invitiation to both Cherlyn and Sarah to join the PMTS. I love the concept and the friendships that can be made from this. This might encourage Cherlyn to get her ass in the air. Much Love from Vegas
  5. That's funny as hell that you burnt down a house to build a tunnel. Hey, if that's what it takes then I've got a lighter. I hope you called the local news crews. That's a golden opportunity for some media attention. Didn't somebody ask about how to heat up the tunnel? There you go. Burn down the neighbors house. Keith
  6. Interesting comparison of tunnels. It's nice to hear another flyers opinion of the different facilities. Anyone who has flown with John Suiter knows it's not the facility but the experience and ability to feel the wind that matters. John is proof of what a "Calibrated Flyer" can do in ANY tunnel. The skills you learn at one facility will help but may not apply to another. Sounds like you're on your way to becoming a calibrated flyer yourself. Looking forward to all the PMTS hotties visiting us in Vegas.
  7. Wow, Lexi has really grown. These kids are the next generation tunnel ratz. Will Lexi be joining you on your cross country tunnel trip?
  8. Cool. Email me the exact dates and number or people and I'll work my magic.
  9. Thank you Evelyn for sticking up for me. When are you ladies gonna come out and fly with us. Vegas has cheap as air fare and I can get good deals on some hotels close to "where I work" (is that better Dawn)
  10. Dawn Marie, I just started reading the posts. I'm amazed at all the tunnel talk that goes on here. I don't want to seem like an advertisment but sometimes I can't help it. I love to fly and can't help but try to share the experience with others. Paige and Ari visited us recently. They were super cool. Too bad you weren't here with them. Keep in touch. Keith
  11. 1. To share good times with good friends. 2. To encourage each other to try new things. 3. Fly for hours instead of falling for seconds. 4. Make memories to last a lifetime. 5. Just to have FUN! It's hard to beat the sensation of closing your eyes and just floating with no concern for time, altitude, malfunctions, or other flyers.
  12. How can Flyaway Vegas get involved with JFTC?
