And if you just can bring yourself to stay at the RV Plantation, there's a super B&B right in Raeford - cheaper than a hotel and a killer breakfast. Ask Tony or SkyOne when you get there.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #14 June 14, 2003 I am swamped with tandems and AFF all day, weather permitting, but I am sure we can accommodate you with some decent skydives. There is a hotel five miles from the DZ in Raeford proper, but like everyone else said, I can put you up on the DZ if you like. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #15 June 14, 2003 It is official. Bill Von Novak has been on the dropzone all day. What did I do? I had him doing AFF all day with me then we jumped together on the end of day load; a four-point nine way. I will let him tell you about it when he posts later. Bad Monkey is playing in Aviators tonight, so it ought to be a great evening. Monkey Fries and cock-a-tillios for my friends. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raefordite 0 #17 June 15, 2003 Your not the only one "out" today Katiebear! I just spent 6 hours standing on asphalt under clouds and sun, heavily watched by the FAA. Ended up doing only two, that's 2, Cessna loads. Then drove 3 3/4 hours home. All I have to show for it is a hell of a sun burn and a fuel bill to fly the Cessna to Union County Airport, SC and back. I hope for better turn out and weather next year! BUT - on the bright side - everyone there was very nice, great hospitality. It was no one's fault the weather sucked.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #18 June 15, 2003 And thank god yall took TWO tandem rigs and a crowd of jumpsuits. We were in a state of Tandemonium here at the DZ. Come and count the money, Kate! Nice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raefordite 0 #20 June 15, 2003 It was Union County Airport Fun Day. An annual event in Union County. Many airshow type activities have "extra" FAA eyes watching. I don't disagree with the FAA being there. They are just doing their job. You should have seen the poor FAA guy dealing with a hot air balloonist. He had his balloon tethered for rides and as long as it was tethered FAA couldn't do anything! The ground winds were averaging 6 mph, but when we would get a gust to 11.6, the balloon wanted to go east. With a tethered basket, it made for a little entertainment.
