WFFC 1 #1 May 7, 2003 Just a mental note for everyone when attending boogies this year...Your reserve must be in date for the entire event that you are attending, even though you might only be staying for a few days. So make sure your rig is in date prior to showing up at an event. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyDekker 1,465 #2 May 7, 2003 Now I am assuming that WFFC will go by the 120 day repack cycle and not the 180 day repack cycle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WFFC 1 #3 May 7, 2003 For the 120 day repack cycle, the magic date is April 12, 2003 for the WFFC. For foreign jumpers, they are subject to the date restrictions of their particular country. The short answer, for U.S. jumpers - yes For Foreign jumpers - whatever their country's rules are Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is their gear somehow superior to my gear? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #5 May 8, 2003 The quick answer is "because the FAA says so." A longer answer is because it is consistent (I think) with practices for aircraft (a real pilot may correct me) and probably for ships too. Another is that it is reasonable. Yet another is that it is good business....

WFFC 1 #6 May 8, 2003 QuoteThe quick answer is "because the FAA says so." Don't get me on the dates, but I think this change went into effect in the neighborhood of 1-2002. Las year was the first year that anyone had to worry about multiple dates... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
