kristof_vdb 0 #13 November 6, 2007 I don't see why , even when they moved or changed management, they should take their website offline or should stop answering support calls/emails. This does not really give a good impression... I personally have the idea they are struggling for survival... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll see the group is doing well. It's just that they don't give a rat's arse about "public jumpers". But they are doing better since last year.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloggy 1 #15 July 31, 2008 Anyone know PdeF's current status? I noticed they let their internet domain name expire and I heard some people complain about ridiculous delivery times. Also, I was told by my rigger to hold on to my release pillow and reserve handle at all times , due to delivery problems... Bart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloggy 1 #17 July 31, 2008 check their website aerosafety.zodiac.com/?p=parachutesand click on Parachutes de France ... Some time ago I saw the domain status was up for deletion, I thought about registering it to myself but holidays got in the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacqueslevrai 0 #18 August 2, 2008 effectively there is no more web site available. And they didn't planned to have one in the next weeks (months ...) It's very hard to obtain parts from them, but they still exist @+ en l'air et bon saut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloggy 1 #19 August 2, 2008 Just received an email that they are working on a new website, which is why the old one was stopped. Anyway, I still find it strange that the domain name wasn't retained for those few $/year. I'd think it still represents some value. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
