billvon 3,120 #1 August 9, 2002 We're on our way back from Rantoul, 400 miles into a 2100 mile drive. I made around 45 jumps; Amy made 34. Two fatalities, a handful of serious injuries, a bunch of jumpers from Eloy determined to take out a Tent 4 organizer ,a DZ.com scandal and a few C-130 jumps later . Here's a picture of the WFFC from the air (I was tracking towards it when I took it) . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weid14 0 #4 August 9, 2002 how does it compare to past conventions in terms of attendance, any pics from the air indicate it's not near as crowded as before, but it could be because the airport is bigger or some such thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,120 #9 August 9, 2002 >Who got nekkid with who? I will let the people involved report on the various scandals; they are all regular posters. At least one such scandal involved breastesses. Convention seemed smaller than Quincy, and I think the continuing jet non-appearances will keep some people away next year as well. (I've done something like ten 727 jumps over the past ten years so I didn't care much, but some people were really disappointed.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #10 August 9, 2002 Quotea DZ.com scandal **News Brief From Rantoul** Local farmers puzzled over discarded beers, condoms, and live stock looking happier then ever. "I don't understand" said local farmer McDonald "The roosters slept in today, the sheep and cows were all smiling and dancing around the pasture.....just plain wierd" Local authorities followed a trail of discarded beers and condoms to a tent at the nearby World Free Fall Skydiving Convention. The tent was home to several skydivers called dot-Commers One individual named Clay Fowler was questioned about the incident but as of yet no charges or even any speculation has been brought or made.........
