I heard the birdman office is closing down. everything else edited out by the moderator because it reeked of trolling and that pisses me off.

don't think that it's a big secret that bird-man is being run from europe as of feb 1st. it's all right there on the website...easy to read. you should try checking there once in a while.

btw, jari never had to leave the country. some people should really, really get a life.

Effective feburary first, BirdMan INC will close down the Deland Florida
office as the company under goes restructuring. We continue to grow both in the
US and European market and have found the need to expand beyond our current
location. We will maintain a US presence while we determine where the future
Birdman office will be located.In the meantime, all inquires about previously
ordered suits or to order a suit should be directed to Jussi@bird-man.com.
Any correspondance or mail should be directed to the European office until further notice:

If you would like BirdMan to attend your event contact BMCIs Chuck Blue,
Scott Campos or Ed Pawlowski at info@bird-man.com. Requests for BirdMan
instruction and previously coordinated events will still be meet and future
events can be scheduled.

BMIs you will still be able to access the demo suits during this transition
as BMCI Chuck Blue will manage the demo fleet. You can contact Chuck at
bmcichuck@bird-man.com

We expect 2005 to be an exciting year for BirdMan as we continue to expand
and grow in the US and Internationaly. We continue to work on improving our
suits and have conducted extensive R&D in the horizontal wind tunnel so you
can fly longer and farther then ever before. Look for our new line of suits
the LEGEND, PHI and the S5 BLADE to be out in winter 2005 along with
improvements to the existing clothing line and some new additions.

While it is true that the Deland office is shutting down, that does not mean that the company is not maintaining it's presence in the USA. Every service previously available in Deland, FL is still happening there under BMI's Ray Dutch and Pine Pinear. Likewise, all of the new stock suits that I had at the PIA symposium are now displayed and on sale at Raeford Parachute Center in SkyCAT gear shop. As there are two east coast chief instructors and we both work out of Raeford, that was the logical place to bring the retail goods. Ed Pawlowski maintains a fleet of demo suits on the west coast and runs BMI training there.

Each and every BMI in the USA has access to the full demo fleet and are available to take orders for new suits and all the other products offered by the company. The only thing that has changed is that Jari has moved overseas and has simply shifted the day-to-day operations over to the European office.

The way I read your post Chuck, it seems like Birdman-USA will not have an office, otherwise everything else is the same. In other words, I would not be buying a suit from a European company and will not be liable to pay duties for importing a suit.

You mean the beanie hats? Guess you should have been at the PIA symposium. I was flying them like frisbees to our loyal customers.
