fmmobley 0 #26 February 28, 2010 Quote...Of course we will have 2 Otters, and a Casa... This will be my third Skyfest. Of course I will be there, especially since it is very close to home. Not to bring up a bad subject, but are you sure you will have a Casa this year? Last year you charged a very hefty registration fee and both the Casa and the Pitts were no-shows. Also, I hope you do not handle manifest like you did last year. That got bad reviews from just about everyone.... Marion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueskiesbill 0 #27 February 28, 2010 if i remember correctly the casa was under construction every day of the boogie except for saturday and the weather was not spectacular that day ... this is not a guarantee but just what i believe i remember hearing the condemned convict climbs the highest peaks without fear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marion, I hope you, and others, understand that the CASA appearance AND the manifesting were all under the control of the dropzone and that SkyFest had no input into any of that. Why the DZ didn't bring in the CASA as committed and advertised is something else...the "official" excuse was mechanical problems. You may want to direct those questions to the DZ management. Good luck. The Pitts bailed on SkyFest after committing. The cancellation was discovered and posted about 3 weeks before the event.My reality and yours are quite different.

I like the idea of a DC-3!!!Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

popsjumper 2 #41 March 11, 2010 One thing about the Load Organizers... I think that, this year, unlike last year, the LOs that commit really do understand the concept of "Pay it Skyward". So many years passed with the LOs being firmly committed to helping out the youngsters through SkyFest. I think this year will see a resurgence in that concept.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
