WFFC 1 #1 July 19, 2002 Got a call right before I left work for lunch from an aircraft owner that has been in touch with the WFFC organizers. Seems the want to bring a really big white bird to the convention for a few days. OK Fine...It's a C-130...I'll have pictures up shortly. You heard it at DZ.com First. ***DISCLAIMER*** A contract is close to being signed based on FAA signoffs - so until that happens, it's still pending...

Another suggestion was NASA's Vomit Comet...Not sure what part of the cutting room floor that ended up on though.
