Thanks for the reply, I know it's been hectic for ya.. what about the whole rotation thing.. we're both so used to flying for 15 - 30 minutes straight... how will that work, will we have another group in there too and do we get to fly our time together, as in 2 in the tunnel at a time..? Added: we have 15 min at 10am sorry for my ramble, what I'm really asking is what will the rotation likely be?

Agreed! Tommy is particularly easy to hang out with.. back when Pam was trying to get pregnant we hung with them a little bit.. my daughter, then an infant.. was always happy as a clam when Tommy picked her up.. but if Pam came near her, she'd WAIL!!! I always chuckle when I think about that! I decided I like his TV show.. funny.. and shows more of the 'real' tommy.. the one we knew anyway..

He's back!! Badnarik for Congress! House-Texas District 10... I think it's awesome that he hasn't given up!!!

Me too

the SOURCE was vanquished several seasons ago .... sorry.. I couldn't resist

It's just another example of how a LARGE portion of modern day parents have further shucked their responsibility of being parents..in fact I'm sure it's really a SIDE EFFECT of the lazy parents & poor parents. letting your kids get fat... is a choice, how could anyone want that for their kids????? but because it's become such a large problem the schools/government must intrude further into our lives. Doesn't sound like they are going to enforce anything though... no way to do that I imagine, but at least the ones will know that they cannot hide from this fact in their lives and perhaps for some it may even encourage change! btw.. no problem issuing "F"s in our schools

So.. wow.. only a couple of dz.com'ers are gonna be there.. I'm pretty suprised I would've thought something like this would draw more attention.. I guess just not from online types maybe?

Thanks... 15 years huh..? That's totally awesome.. I suppose she's 3 now? Our daughter took her first tunnel flight at 2.5 y/o.. and now she's on our home page clicky!!! She'll have 16 or so years in the tunnel on her first jump, which she is looking forward to in 7 years!

"For a Good Time, call Maggie (828)###-####" which is on a billboard next to the Interstate on the way to a sleepy little touristy mountain town called Maggie Valley... it's got a cartoon drawing of a lady pilgrim type on it.. and it has a phone number!!! I just can't believe it it's hilarious!

Diet Pepsi... in a 12oz glass (not cup) with 4 ice cubes...everything else is TOO sweet! diet coke in a can if there is nothing else around..

not lost... although I thought I was...

hey diablo.. I gotta few ?? in the 'other' forum about our upcoming visit.. think you could swing on in over there and help me out maybe??

How Long: Just over a year.. Why: Moved away from DeLand.. no DZ's are super close and I prefer jumping at DeLand or Titusville with friends and in sizeable airplanes (7 min to altitude YIPPEE) When: Next time we go to Florida for a few days... that's how I do it.. a few jumps per year on our annual trip to DeLand..the last trip was for Gus's funeral so that kinda didn't work out for any jumping for me.

I guess if they don't run across this thread then I will.. or call the tunnel & post the answers myself.. in case anyone else is curious too. Still haven't had much luck finding the answers in past posts... Thanks!

Rosa, yes I have the SVO experience.. more than I logged, I never included all the time I flew during testing.. but Rox is a different story for sure.. None of us have had to sit through class at SVO but I didn't want to assume the same of SVP I could never wear lead!!! But how responsive ARE the controls there..? How quickly can it be turned up.. variable pitch or speed? We Tshirt/jeans fly all the time.. even at SVO.. no tunnel has undressed me yet but there is always a first. Have you never flown in a Tshirt & jeans? It's alot of fun and really quite nice, removes all the drag and allows you to just fly your body.. but is that NOT allowed in there? As far as conveying my experience...that usually doesn't hold much weight even at SVO where every time I go I have to still do the 'prove yourself' drills

I finally get the kid tucked in bed... dying to see what's behind the NSFW.. and I GET THIS!!!! that is SO NOT funny hugs, dawn

So.. I have 15 minutes booked for myself & a tunnel buddy on the last Saturday of JFTC.. ANYWAY... I've been working with her on exit drills.. getting her ready for the big exit out of the tube, and the whole experience in general flying at really high speeds. So.. this practice leads us to many questions, all of which we have answered with a SVO answer.. so I was wondering.. how are they different? In operations procedures I mean... I expect us to have to each sit through class 'check out' when we first get in.. but how much of that will eat up our time? Is there a certain 'procedure' we must follow to be cleared? Also.. is a suit REQUIRED?? I mean are we allowed to Tshirt fly and with jeans etc? When does time start.. when the doors close or when the flight begins physically? We have 15 minutes.. will we have to be in the chamber with another group making up a whole half hour or might we go in by ourselves and come out when our 15 minutes are up? What about a camera.. are we allowed to bring a camera into the anti chamber or even into the air? Maybe our instructor

I get in a 7 thursday night.. will I have passed you already?? perhaps we could exchange a hug at the airport (ONT)??

So... I'm expecting the woman's world record draws alot of spectators & companion event jumpers... not meant to be a 'whos who' thread, but I was wondering who I'll get to meet while I'm there.. I'll be there for the last Friday & Saturday.. are you going? or are you a regular jumper/tunnel junkie there and plan to be around? Pink Suits, Dawn Suiter

two words... duck tape :)

the Phoenix.. "The phoenix's flight has been said to represent the capacity to leave the world and its problems behind, flying towards the sun in clear pure skies. "

MJ of COURSE!! I'm hoping to borrow Rosa's harness so she can go in with us at SVP too on Saturday.. um.. Rosa.. if you read this.. can I borrow your harness..

same departure time for us.. so good to know.. leave extra early.. how TIGHT was security? I mean.. we're not bringing anything with us.. so it's just us.. think that'll matter?????????????? long lines or long process.. or both?? I'll tell him, can't wait to see Rox in there.. she's only flown FPF once a LONG time ago.. will be a VERY different experience for her.. so will SVP for that matter! We've been doin slow speed drills in bigger suits and high speed exit drills so she can be ready for the big exit at SVP.. hard to do on our 'flying' net.. but will be much easier on the solid one there for her I'm sure!
