upndownshop 0 #1 May 15, 2007 With the changes in other events and other circumstances SF has been flooded from customers, manufacturers (over a dozen confirmed) and Aircraft owners wanting to attend. The AN2 owners have inquired recently so i thought I would give this a shot first before i decide. We have on line Steerman 75% confirmed Pitts -Confirmed Powered Parachutes -confirmed (instructional flights)1942 Champ-confirmed (instructional flights)Heli - 50% confirmed PAC 750 unknown (but local) Balloons- have no freakin clue damn balloons always a pain.. and of course the usual Casa Otter Grand Caravan C182 and maybe a 206 As some of you know these AC can be real expensive and at a great risk. Their deal is paid no matter if they fly jumpers or not. If they show up, they get paid. So what does the dz.com public say? Get em J!!! Lets make SF once again the only place to see all of this and for the fourth year in a row nowhere will you find more than about four Mfrs. in one place. Hell no J give it up no one is showing this year! Bitting nails for the next few weeks, no matter what ya'll say!!

Opie 0 #5 May 15, 2007 Putting together the biggest most diverse fleet of aircraft for a boogie?? Look what it did for the WFFCConcentrate on being the best, not the biggest! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airtwardo 7 #6 May 15, 2007 Humm...On one hand there is no WFFC this year, could mean TONS of turnout. On the other hand it IS in the hottest most humid state and the hottest at most miserable time of the year...But on one hand what else IS there for a summer time boogie bound jumper to do? One the other hand, there IS Lost Prairie...I will interject that I wouldn't be paying for speciality AC that can't be jumped...it's a boogie not an air show. I know from working with you that you definitely know the difference.I'll be there no matter WHAT extra bells and whistles you decide to add...I'll also again offer my services for some pre fest promotion as we spoke about...all that being said: Just glad it's YOUR ASS & not mine on the line! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upndownshop 0 #7 May 15, 2007 Quote Putting together the biggest most diverse fleet of aircraft for a boogie?? Look what it did for the WFFCConcentrate on being the best, not the biggest! I appreciate that comment, this is what is so cool about all of this. This event is not about the AC necessarily. It offers numerous things that no other event does, so its uniqueness has helped make it one of the largest on its own. The AC are just a bonus. And whats even better, they came to meOf course I want a few specialty AC but if our event stayed at 300 to 400 folks forever, I would have no problem with that. I have already told people that if by Friday we have 600 registered, I am walking up to the DZO and telling him your welcome I am going home!! Thanks for the reminder.. So what day are you showing??

popsjumper 2 #11 May 15, 2007 Every year I go to SF with high hopes and eager anticipation only to leave dejected and sad...my name has YET to be drawn for a Pink Patch. Last year the consolation prize was having to look at Keith's mug organizing SCR/SCS jumps...as it will be this year, too, I'm sure. Screw the A/C...gimme the ladies! I voted the more the merrier...but then it's not my wallet facing the gallows. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

sharimcm 0 #15 May 15, 2007 Quote Screw the A/C...gimme the ladies! I could make it, but I don't think Spaceland would let me do a paid nekkid tandem with all those people there. So, I guess that means I will most likely stay home this year. But J - There will be plenty of AC for people to jump out of, even if there is a better turnout this year. If the SkyFest budget can handle more, why the hell not, but like someone else said, it's a boogie, not an airshow. Hope the weather holds out and it's not hot and humid... But then again, it is Texas, and it is Houston.

racer42 0 #21 May 16, 2007 Looking forward to SkyFest, but honestly I'm not so in to all the specialty aircraft. They are fun to watch, but too expensive to jump. Otters and the CASA are plenty for me. Maybe a helo.

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #22 May 16, 2007 That sounds wonderful, J! Congrats on the line-up, thus far. I wish that I could go, but I'm unable to confirm at the moment, due to my Masters classes & credentialing. My schedule is rigorous and sequential. I don't have (summer or otherwise) vacations; otherwise, I would try to make it. Well, we shall see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
