I say 727 and and c-130 or two or three C-130 maybe big SAFAIR LC-100 (streched C-130) and big record jumps... why have 400 way in Thailand?? very few skydivers would get to watch it....

They are military aircraft....no civi's in military aircraft. Thai goverment had no problem with it. Im sure there is some sort of price involved. But I am also sure that with the way the good ole USA is, the liability scared away any of the Civilian aircraft owners.She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gemini 0 #15 October 26, 2005 QuoteThey are military aircraft....no civi's in military aircraft. Regs do not actually say that. There is something about "at the descretion of the commander." Unfortunately with budgets and costs being what they are... Rules were put in place to keep civilians from bumming rides on military aircraft. (Read politicians = civilians). Since they can't ride damn it, NO ONE WILL RIDE! Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BirdBabe1 0 #20 October 26, 2005 Hello Everyone, In case you didn't read the ending of the WFFC Survey thread, here is part of my post regarding changes for next year. Individual and vendor pre-registration costs are being reduced. WFFC has a unique set up for pre-registration and will announce the dates and how it works at their timing. This will be most beneficial to vendors, along with individuals who can only attend for a few days. The map will be changed slightly for the benefit of vendors and convenience of jumpers. One change is that the location of the food and entertainment tent will be switched, and the stage in the entertainment tent will be moved from its usual location to the opposite end. This will position the food tent closer to the camping area. There will be hand washing stations! WFFC is working on bringing in a portable swimming pool. Come with a swimsuit! As for my group, we're planning to go to WFFC, then head to the Lost Prairie for some RELAXATION, GREAT SKYDIVES, and some FRESH AIR. Blue Skies!
