Also remember to show your thanks to the city, people & businesses of Rantoul. The town took a chance on having us despite the the poor reputation some people of that "other" town wanted to label us with.

So try and do some shopping in town if at all possible and let them know why you are in town. We all need to stock up on H20, food, and other "refreshments" so why not do it in Rantoul when you get to town as a little show of thanks for them having us.

Absolutely!

I can highly recommend the Liquor Locker for alcohol runs - the people there are so nice and helpful (and they still owe me a twelve pack of good beer for that flash I gave 'em last year >:().

One more thing... its not nice to steal the security officers keys from his 4 wheeler in the middle of the runway at 2am. >:(

Liquor Locker is the place to go for all your booze in town. They treated all us jumpers very well last year. All my Biotches were taken care of there :D

One other thing.. land near the whuffos. Hand out pull up cords that you steal from PD over there too :ph34r:

Also the Airboss's love attention, they have one of the most thankless and boring jobs at the whole convention. Ladies remember to flash them too. B|;)

Things NOT to bring:




3. Fireworks. No one thinks they are cool or that your cool when they go off at 5 in the morning.



It sure pissed me when someone let off fireworks by my plane one year. The tanks were full of 100 octane gasoline! What kind of MORON lets off fireworks by a plane?
...

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

okay my tips to ad to yours lou......


1. don't come with any expectations....... cuz if you do and they don't pan out then you are disapointed... but be asured it will be a good time......

2. i'm not tellingmy secret nesesity untill i'm alrerady there....

3. if you are staying in a tent bring a small tarp to put up on the east side of it to block the morning sun that will bake you alive inyour tent... the extra hour or two before you really start to cook could count alot if it is half your sleep time....

4. a cooler...... never enough coolers..... it's like a treasure hunt to see what cooler still has beer in it at the dz.com tent.....(all coolers in the tent are considered free game...unless otherwise stated or marked)....

5. a reminder...as already stated... remeber the plastic.... you'll regret it when you reallyneed it for that cool something you just can't get/ do anywhere else..

6. don't lett sunshine drive your golf cart unless you are really crazy or can scare the heck out of her to be carful with it....

7. the most important..... have fun, don't get hurt....

8. this one will really make me happy if you all actually do this one...... find a hottie (female)(and clay no i mean human not sheep)for wingi to make out with....

The Liquor Locker definitely hooked us up last year!

Another thing....if you're planning on making any large gear purchases...hold off until the convention. You can snag some incredible deals there if your timing is right.:)

11) If you're going to do golf cart races down the runway, make sure the FBO is with you:ph34r:



Screw the FBO...I'll just take Bill the airport manager. The best part is toasting the intersection of the two runways... ;)
