kameraflyr 0 #2 May 8, 2008 Craig and I will both be out to warm up on Friday. Should be rolling in town on Thurs night late. Any recommendations for a hotel near the DZ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frost 1 #3 May 8, 2008 Good luck there guys. unfortunately, i will be skipping the last two FLCPA meets... No direct or cheap flights. The upside is - at least I'll be saving the lunch money. The downside is - it doesn't matter since you'll take it at the Nationals :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikiBee 0 #4 May 8, 2008 i don't know of any hotels that close to the DZ, but there are some about 20 minutes away. not sure wich ones are good, you might want to ask McNenney. Lets try to figure out what time people want to start on friday. it takes 4 to fly and i need to let the pilot know what time to be there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frost 1 #5 May 8, 2008 Thats right, Beek, McNenney said everyone can crash at his place. He said everyone was welcome. You can drink and party there. So dont hesitate to call him up when you get in town, late at night. Or dont even call - just show up at his house he'll be happy to see you.

frost 1 #8 May 8, 2008 We did ask him if it would be ok with you, but he laughed and said that he knew how to control his woman. And that he didnt really care what she had to say anyway. Seriously. Thats what he said, i got like 5 witnesses. P.S. Gosh, i sure do hope i didnt get him in any trouble... He is not grounded is he? He'd still be able to swoop at the meet right? btw, did he say he's been drinking beer and playing cards again? and losing money? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piahenzi 0 #9 May 8, 2008 yes yes yes !!! 8 am wheels up please ... I need ALL the practice I can get I'll be driving up Thursday afternoon from Orlando. I think the hotel scene pretty limited around DZ. I am booked at a Marriott Fairfield Inn abt. 17 miles frm DZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speak up if you plan on it so i can make sure we have a pilot to fly loads that friday. We will open at Noon on Friday. Pilot is lined up. There didn't seem to be a huge interest -at least not in this forum- about Friday practice jumps, so we'll probably just fly 1 C-182. Let me know if we need more. BTW. if you've never been here. The landing area is huge (the whole airport if need be) and very nice, very level grass. No taxi-ways. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kameraflyr 0 #13 May 14, 2008 Any chance that it could be a bit earlier? I can account for at least 6 people that are interested. (Craig, Pia, Chris M, Steve, Chris W,and myself) We were all talking about 4 jumps a piece. Any chance fro at least 10:00, the weather is looking shady in the afternoon. Email me if you have any diect questions. kameraflyr@yahoo.com thanks... Bryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piahenzi 0 #14 May 14, 2008 I can be there at 8 - whatever time load 1 will be - I will be there. SOMEBODY pls call me when this is decided as I wont have internet after today. My Palm cant handle this website. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gkchristopher 0 #15 May 14, 2008 Greg and I will be rolling in Thursday afternoon and can start anytime on Friday. Dropzone just said they will be starting no later than noon but may begin as early as 10am. They are going to give me a call if 10am happens. I can give you a ring if you like. Did you make it to Chicago? I wanted to but didn't work out with the team. Maybe later.....

psychoswooper 2 #16 May 14, 2008 OK we will open at 10 AM Friday so you guys can get started on your practice jumps. If you are staying in Tallahassee, check out our website for driving directions. www.skydivetallahassee.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berchtoldaj 0 #17 May 14, 2008 Anyone who wants to ride up, I am leaving Deland in the party bus on Thursday around noonish. I'm driving so you can sit in the back and make cocktails for everyone. We've got 3 Cessna's at our disposal and there are probably going to be some locals who are going to come out and spectate. I bought some new noodles. Hopefully nobody slices these in 1/2?!?! See ya'll there!!!! Albert************ Watch out for planters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikiBee 0 #18 May 15, 2008 i'll be there at 9:30 to open and get people waivered. as soon as we have 4 people, we can be wheels up by 10. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piahenzi 0 #21 May 19, 2008 I can tell you that I made 12th.. :) Beek - 1st....just under 500 pts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frost 1 #22 May 19, 2008 Great job! Beek got lucky AGAIN? Last year - same thing, comp to comp, 1st-2nd-1st... taking my lunch money... this year same story?! just lucky as hell i guess :) Congrats man! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piahenzi 0 #23 May 19, 2008 There was some very good flying, Mike. It was a very high scoring meet and very few verts. You'll see when the scores are posted. The dz vibe, weather, pilots, competitors were all in sync...it was a really terrific meet on every level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #24 May 19, 2008 Beek squeeked into 1st place at the last second, bastard In all seriousness, we had some goofy conditions (high, shifting uppers, up and down ground winds ranging from 5-10, etc) and the times/distances will show that. The results were VERY close and EVERYONE did great. Always good fly with you all. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
