  2. 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.

  3. I am looking to buy a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. I have seen prices for the camera with the 18-55mm EF-S Lens and prices without. I am going to use it for taking pics in the tunnel and personal daily pics. I want wide angle shots so do I attach a wide angle lens to the 18-55mm EF-S or do I detach the 18-55mm EF-S from the camera and mount the wide angle. I'm sorry for being still camera dumb.

  16. I would go with waycool. I have flown both the royal and the way cool lenses and the way cool is better in my opinion. you can use the filter to protect the lense from scratches. once the filter is bad throw it out and buy a new one. -Bowen __________________________________________________ Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings
  17. If You are asking to fly in the tunnel together as in 2 way my answer is No. in the same class or block then Yes.. __________________________________________________ Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

Thanks. __________________________________________________ Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

  21. I am thinking about buying a New PC 1000 from B&H Photo and was wondering if anyone ever has had to use the MACK waranty. any problems with the waranty? turn around time? basically is it worth it? or just save the 100.00 bucks. any other companies I should look into for the PC1000 or the waranty? -Bowen ______________________________________________________ Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings

  25. try a dummy rig on in the tunnel and see what you think. You just have to be about a expert back flyer to do this. the rig has to be super tight on you other wise it will shift and launch you into the wall. I have seen good back flyers get torn up with a rig on. Good luck and make sure it is really, really tight. And wear pads. -Bowen Retired Tunnel Instructor, Sky/Tunnel Coach Former dealer for 2k Composites, Skysystems, Alti-2, Wings
