Sebazz1 2 #1 January 18, 2002 Everyone must get a demo rating...............I just did my first demo last night (yeah baby a night demo too). I jumped into an Olympic torch carrying ceremony with a California state flag. Flew in right as they were singing "America the Beaitiful" to a roaring crowd. F***in awesome feeling. I havn't come down yet. It was a tight landing area too and I hit the mark. If I didn't have to work today I'd still be partying my ass off.So one more time..........Everyone get your demo rating......I'm so thirsty for some air and some brew.Seb.

Aviatrr 0 #21 January 19, 2002 Quote And yes, open field with a landing area greater then 50000 feet is an open air that needs just a D licence. Actually, that would be a Level 2 landing area, and require a PRO rating, and various currency requirements.. I assume you meant FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND square feet, not FIFTY THOUSAND..Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
