Price of accomodation, getting there etc. "Into the dangerous world I leapt..." William Blake, Songs of Experience Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear the owner owns two wind tunnels. One for customers and another one at his home. If true, I think that explains it.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratostar 5 #3 October 17, 2011 That and anybody who is anybody has been there working or comps.... I know a number of people over there on staff and I don't think they would be there if the checks bounced or the place was a dump. Looks pretty and has a hell of a view too.you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crotalus01 0 #4 October 17, 2011 Getting there is easy as the Emirates are served by all the major airlines as well as most regional carriers. Expect to spend a lot of money as it is a very expensive country. Also be careful with the booze - its fine in Dubai but the rest of the Emirates that comprise the country are much more conservative, and alcohol/pork/"porn" are illegal ("porn" in this case means any magazine that shows women with uncovered arms/legs etc)... As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
