ZigZagMarquis 9 #161 October 17, 2010 I ran into ol' Gordon Foster in the grocery store today. He even had an old Skydive Cal City t-shirt on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9n1PL77kCA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,362 #162 October 17, 2010 Hi Zig, Re: Gordon Foster Do you remember when he ran the ad that said: If you don't read this ad your ripcord will catch on fire! I always thought that was some unique advertising. It got your attention, anyway. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZigZagMarquis 9 #169 December 16, 2010 Yeah, well, like I said on YouTube... technically, she's been "for sale" for as long as I've known her to be owned by Van Sr or Jr... everything has its price... Maybe a bunch of us could pool our money... buy her... stick her on a pole at the Ol' Cal City DZ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 6 #170 December 16, 2010 I've made too many jumps out of 121PM -- and am too familiar with her history -- to want to see anything but her flying jumpers. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZigZagMarquis 9 #171 December 16, 2010 Quote I've made too many jumps out of 121PM -- and am too familiar with her history... ... ummm, yeah... me too... But seriously, if its time for her to go out to pasture, maybe she could be mounted on a stick outside the USPA Skydiving Museum? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 6 #172 December 17, 2010 There are already plans for an Otter in the museum. But it should be a crashed one, not one that still can fly. It's not the USPA museum; it's an independent entity, even though it will be next to USPA. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, I'm a bit too superstitious about such things. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Quote It's not the USPA museum; it's an independent entity... That's good!

NickDG 23 #174 December 21, 2010 When I die I'd like to be stuffed and placed into that museum. Maybe in a nice diorama. You know, beer in one hand a joint in the other and a crappy old trailer in the background . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
