Wind tunnel for Atlanta freeflight festival?

Recommended Posts

Something new they are doing with GA Tech is the way I heard it. It is going to be at the game to promote skydiving then at the festival (or maybe the other way around) for the rest of the time.
Sorry I don't sound excited but I really hate heights and the tunnel camp I went to stressed that fact home with me. It should be a blast and a good learning experience.

Hey, Lisa-
I just printed out the info. It looks like I need to request that weekend off at work! I'm going to see if I can get some more of the guys at the dz to come with me. What about you, Marc and Mike?
Andrea
hmmm, thinking of a new tag...any suggestions?

Wahoo Andrea. Sounds like a plan. I'm going to be sick that Friday I can already feel it in my old bones!! Anyone that is planning on being there needs to think about getting a room as there is no bunkhouse. The loft at the DZ is a great place to stay but you won't get any sleep at all if it was like last year.

If you slept through all that you had passed out. When I left at 3:30 it was so loud I couldn't hear myself think. Everyone was swinging on that swing in the FF area, some of us were doing electric 8 ways minus a few people and trust me I screamed really loud several times, and several people were doing body shots. My ears were ringing still when I got up the next morning.
I'll be getting a room everyone else do as you please.

Just make sure you introduce yourself BEFORE I consume to many beers. That way I'll be all polite and not slur anything like "Show me your tits!" You'll probably get that on the plane but at least I'll be sober....

You don't have a picture on your profile, Clay. How will I know who you are? You'll have to find me.
Can I just say, that my tits never had so much attention until I started skydiving? What's up with that?! I'm not complaining though, my girls are feeling quite perky these days with all of this attention! ;)
Slappie, I'm so glad you're going to make it too! Woohoo, another dz.com record attempt is coming, I can feel it in the air!

Cyber,Sad to say they put tarmac access right through the student area; however, it is still about as large as the landing area at Monroe and there are the two parts of it to choose from now. The C and D landing area is the same and you can always choose to land between the taxiway and runway or in one of the airport fields. Just stay out of Farmer McNasty's field...he is MEAN. Spectre could probably handle him but I prefer to land away from there. HUM...maybe Spectre could arrange to handle that for us.
Andrea, I'll introduce you only if you promise not to take Clay seriously.
Clay, you best be there Sat as I haven't seen you in forever.
For anyone interested I usually stay at the Sun Inn in Barnesville. About $50 a night, but we fill up a room so it is not a big deal. Danny is a neat person just tell him I sent you and he should take care of you. Close to good food (Italian) and the liquor store (Danny owns that too!!). The number is on Skydive Atlanta's web site...www.skydiveatlanta.com
All you Texas folks get together and road trip. Sis should be up for one by then and I would love to meet and jump with one and all. Check flights as Delta and AA are big in both places.
Kingie, I haven't forgotten you. I expect you to be here too.
Anyone wanting to fly in we can arrange for you to be picked up in ATL on Friday or early Sat if you give me enough notice.
Hope to see a large group of you with smiles on your faces and rigs on your backs!!

Lisa- I will be there all weekend starting hopefully not too late into Saturday. Depends on how late I stay up Friday night..LOL. Yep if anyone wants to fly into Atlanta I drive within a couple miles of the airport on my way down so it's not a problem to pick you guys up.
Lisa/Andrea......God forbid anyone ever took me seriously! Never ever do this!

I'm off work that weekend, so I'm definitely there! I'm sure Marc will see this thread soon and tell us if he'll be going, too..
Cyber - I'm sure the 'wind tunnel' is one of those that is portable, sits on the ground, and just has a big ass fan at the bottom.. Not enclosed - but just blows a column of air up and is padded all around.. Kinda interesting trying to stay on the column of air.. If ya fly out of it....WHAM!
Hopefully, the weekend after that, I'll be going to the Keys boogie.. I hear that boogie rocks..
