n2skdvn 0 #1 May 15, 2002 copied from freefall dot com!Ok, Everyone...Here's the latest regarding me and the 412. Due to all the pleading from all of my fellow skydivers and your unyielding support, I have entered into negotiations with WFFC and have submitted a proposal. If they agree, I will come back from retirement to try this ONE MORE TIME, just for YOU! Now, here's the hard part. It'll be your decision whether or not this will continue. We'll need 3500 jump tickets to break even. That will match our best year. It is possible, but without you, it won't happen. I am not getting any guarantees from the convention so I'll need your support. If we don't break even this year, there won't be any discussions for another try. It's just too big of a loss to sustain every year. I'd much rather come and throw the biggest dog pound party of the century and skydive all week with you. We lost $47,000 last year, and with 9/11 right on the heels, it almost buried us. We're still recovering from the loss of business, and it will be a big risk. My upper management thinks I've lost my mind, but I'm betting on you. For those of you that support the 412, there will be frequent jumper bonus jumps, as well as for the top ten skydivers buying the most pre-registration helicopter jump tickets, I'll give one 10K+ "0" airspeed jump! It's in the Conventions hands now. I've gone over the numbers with them, and they'll make the call. After that, it's up to you. Some think this is "mission impossible", but we all know skydivers are used to that, so should you decide to accept this mission..........I'm bringing my rig, but I hope I won't have time to jump it!Your Favorite Helicopter Pilot,Rod Tinney, CEOAir Center Helicopters, Inc.RTINNEY@ACHI-TX.com fyikregif ya can't dodge it RAM IT !!!!!!click me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
