benforde 0 #26 August 30, 2005 QuoteBoogie fees should not include beer. It's totally unfair for anyone that doesn't drink beer. I agree, make it free Vodka! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites vdschoor 0 #27 August 30, 2005 Quote Ferry fees vary due the distance traveled for ware and tear on the aircraft and the cost of the fuel for travel. The actual use of the aircraft during the boogie is $1 per person per 1,000 feet of lift and the DZO provides the fuel. If anyone else would like to provide further ferry/cost info lets have it. Some additional terms and conditions: If you get my plane for the boogie, it's x dollars per slot to x altitude.. for every 1000ft above that, it's x dollars extra per slot If you use my aircraft, you have to fly it for a minimum of x loads, preferable no less than 2 loads back to back.. If you want my aircraft for the boogie, it will be the primary aircraft, and you can not use your own until my aircraft is backed up x number of loads... etc etc etc etc. These are just random terms and conditions that are out there... it's not just flying the airplane out to your boogie and then get billed afterwards for the usage.. there are all sorts of minimums related to it usually.
