PhreeZone 20 #111 June 30, 2006 Talk to WFFC about it. Last time they ended up with like 50-75 DV tapes worth of footage that they had to edit down to a 40 minute DVD. Then it was professionally authored and pressed then sold through Paragear. Adam is a full time editor and it took him 5 months I think to publish the DVD.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 2 #112 June 30, 2006 QuoteFingers crossed and keeping the faith - Jet, Jet, Jet Thats cool. Just dont hold your breath.

How quickly people forget..... It's actually the place that made the Jet happen, now all the newer jumpers just expect it and have little appreciation for what it takes to make it all come together. Have you ever jumped a 727 anywhere else??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sartre 0 #120 July 4, 2006 Quote(Sorry, no jumping the L39). Don will have one of his L39s at the WFFC again this year and will be offering rides for anyone who wants to go. Costs? $2000...100% of the proceeds will be donated to charity so the full amount is tax deductible. This is incorrect, but a common misperception. If you receive goods or services for any donation, it is not tax deductible. You can claim it, but if you get audited, it will not fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgvette 0 #124 July 5, 2006 QuoteSince this is something we need to plan for, those who have previously jumped the 727 all received their DB Cooper numbers. Since our buddy DB didn't jump out of a DC9, what kind of numbers should we come up with for this bird?Hold on, I jumped the 727 and didn't get a number!!!!!!!!
