quade 4 #1 November 25, 2003 Just got back from running some errands and in my inbox was a message from the lovely and talented flyangel2 (aka Mary SantAngelo). Melanie Conatser had sent her an email with some photos included and Mary has asked me to post them here for everybody to see. Quote Hello Friends and Family, Today was the day we cranked up all motors up to 80% power to begin the testing process. Just enough power to allow Alan Metni and I to hop in and experience for the first time our Perris Skyventure! We have several days of testing, checking power consumption, noise readings and vibration. Our staff will then begin their final days of training and then it will be available for all of us to enjoy! Here are a couple of photos from today&.yippppeeeeee Melanie Attached are the photos in dz.com format. Yehaw!quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyangel2 2 #2 November 25, 2003 You rock. Thanks for getting those up on the board. I would have done it, but I don't know how. Maybe I need some private lessons You want me now don't you?May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #11 December 1, 2003 It's way too freekin' easy (for me) just by looking at the jumpsuits -- so I'll step back and let others guess. However, did you know there were also a few freeflyers in the wind tunnel today for a short period while they were testing it at full power? I talked to one that said he could do head down with no problems in his regular freefly suit.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
