wmw999 2,589 #5 August 22, 2003 Congrats! as it happens, I work for a NASA contractor -- what're you going to be doing? But you know you should have stayed around long enough to jump at Ballunar this weekend (jumping into NASA).

But you know you should have stayed around long enough to jump at Ballunar this weekend (jumping into NASA). I checked the web site. It was unclear if you could just fun jump out there or not... I'm working right now and don't have the time to explore it ...any help...I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #8 August 22, 2003 You have to be C or D-licensed. It's a giant landing area, but it is still a demo. If you are (profiles can lie), you might want to email Al Saylor (skysaylor@aol.com), and maybe show up tommorrow night at Cross Eyed Seagull (it's a bar, of course) about 3-4PM and see if there are slots.

AggieDave 6 #10 August 22, 2003 Sweet! Dude, you're so going to have to come up to SD Aggieland once you get in the area. There's some folks that live down in the southern part of H-town that come up here every weekend. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
