Keithmaj 0 #1 October 15, 2008 Presenting the: NC Thanksgiving CASA Boogie November 27-30, 2008 Location: Halifax County Airport, NC (just N of RDU) Let’s have an awesome Thanksgiving CASA Boogie in NC this year!! We need your commitment to make it happen. We lined up the airport and a CASA...will you come jump with us? Here’s the deal… Halifax County Airport will host the boogie and we lined up the CASA! This huge, wide open, municipal airport is located approximately 1 ½ hours northeast from Raleigh-Durham, NC. There is space set aside for tents or trailers, and plenty of hotels are within 10 minutes. We will offer a Casa, covered packing, FF and RW organizing, tracking/hoop/raft dives, a big cookout, a bonfire, concessions, and more. There will be cool prize drawings for the first 40 people who pre-register, which will be announced throughout the weekend. We need to know…do we have the interest from everyone to move forward with this “break-even” boogie? It is very dependent upon the amount of responses we receive. Please respond to this post and let us know if you are interested… quick, fast, in a hurry… by Friday October 17th. More details about the boogie will follow if the interest is strong. Blue Skies…and hope to see you there. The CSS GangKeith "Jump to Live!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustChuteMeNow 0 #3 October 15, 2008 I would love to jump with you grannyinthesky and I think I will be in NC during that time. Hopefully we can do it with a lot of different people in a lot of different positions. Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

grannyinthesky 0 #4 October 15, 2008 That would be great. I've met lots of West coast people in the year I've been jumping, but not many from the East coast. Hmmmmm, I'm assuming bolas isn't typical of jumpers from that side of the country. I still haven't gotten the image of him and his thong at Prairie out of my mind. lol Now for my dumb question of the day.......what's a CASA? I know it's an airplane, but that's about it"safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!! " ~~jmy POPS #10490 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peregrinerose 0 #13 October 15, 2008 Granny, I'll jump with you in a heartbeat... we can do my favorite CASA exit... the same as my very first CASA exit. Start as far front as you can get, say 'ready, set, go' and you and a friend go running the length of the plane and canonball off the back, it's a blast!!

philly51 0 #22 October 17, 2008 If I can make it down, it will only be for Sunday. I'll be happy to jump with you. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

grannyinthesky 0 #23 October 17, 2008 Darn. I have to head home on Sunday. It's a long flight from the east coast to Boise, as in all day. And they make me land with the plane every time.
