Remster 30 #8 June 26, 2002 ahhh... the AN 72 Coaler..... +/- 75 people to 15K in a few minutes (cant remember how fast anymore)... the 727 at the WFFC aint the only jet you can jump Those pics look like the Espace 2000 Boogie in Vichy France (well, it definetly is Espace - the pic names kinda gave it away -, but from the set up and number of bird man there, it looks like the 2000 one)...Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
