Jessica 0 #1 April 27, 2003 I'm stuck here at work, looking at the WFFC page, and getting all het up! The C-130 is confirmed! I didn't know that! I was only there for four days last year, but this time I'm gonna do it right and be there from Saturday to Saturday, at least. Can anyone give me a ride from Chicago?

Jimbo 0 #2 April 27, 2003 QuoteThe C-130 is confirmed! I didn't know that! Ha! The 727 and the Super Connie were confirmed for 2002. WFFC is a hell of a party, but if you're going just for the specialty aircraft you might be disappointed. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

Jessica 0 #3 April 27, 2003 Chill out Jimbo. I'm aware of the cancellations. The C-130 was there last year, and I trust it will be this year, too. And if not, je ne care pas. Everyone is so grumpy.

Michele 1 #4 April 27, 2003 There is the tiniest, most remote, barely possible chance that I will be there....there are lots of things which will need to happen before I can be sure, but instead if impossible, there have been some recent changes which may lead to me managing to get there....

Jessica 0 #6 April 27, 2003 Eeee! You should come! It's so much fun sleeping in a tent and spending a week with all your focus directed on solving the formula that will allow the maximum partying at night without cutting into the jumps you make during the day!Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WFFC 1 #7 April 27, 2003 QuoteHa! The 727 and the Super Connie were confirmed for 2002. Yes they were...Up until the insurance people changed their minds about it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #8 April 27, 2003 QuoteYes they were...Up until the insurance people changed their minds about it... I wasn't suggesting that there was any deception by the WFFC; only that the planes in question were advertised as 'confirmed' but never showed. That's a fact, nothing more. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WFFC 1 #12 April 27, 2003 QuoteI wasn't suggesting that there was any deception by the WFFC; only that the planes in question were advertised as 'confirmed' but never showed. That's a fact, nothing more. They were confirmed...I've got the 'were not coming' letters from both planes since the insurance people won't let us if you would like me to post. I only get defensive about this since I'm the one who catches a lot of flack for them being on freefall.com. Unfortunately, most people make their judgements without all the facts. There are things that are out of the WFFCs control. This unfortunately was one of them. BTW, the 727 was owned by Connie Kalitta (sp?) and he was interested in the whole prospect of it since he's a speed freak in his own right... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
