skybytch is going to be the "traveling sales woman" So translating her statement. It mean on the last few days of the boogie prices at the SgaureOne booth with Lisa will be CHEAP so they don't have to pack it all back up and take it back. Or if anyone is interested we could track her route to the WFFC and set up a nice road block on the way and have our way with whatever she has in the back of her truck... Just some thoughts from a man dying for a rig!! hehe My New Website with 24hr Chat

Wonder if there is any Texans interested in traveling together.. Maybe car-pool it or even just make the trip.. I've only got a Chevy Silverado Ext.. not much extra space in the cab for more then 2 peeps and your chit.. My New Website with 24hr Chat

Cheapest rates to fly from Houston to Chicago O`Hare... Midway is more.. is close to $675 for two people. To rent a cheapo car is $200 for 10 days... I can drive and save probably $400 and have all my gear, see the sites on the way and still be there a good 8 days... Got the GF to drive during the day and I'll drive at night.. I hate driving during the day.. Then I have everything I need and more when I get there. So I'm tossing it back and forth. Like I said this is just to see "What Prices Are" My New Website with 24hr Chat

Curious to see how many of you fellow jumpers would be interested in meeting at the WFFC this year... I'm looking into travel rates already... from Houston flying I'm looking at close to $1000 for airfare, car rental and ect.. to fly into Chicago O`Hare...... Anyone got any ideas? I'm thinking it would be cheaper to drive and carry my camping gear then try to fly in and all the hassles of checking baggage ect.. Give me your thoughts... My New Website with 24hr Chat

Conversations passengers don't hear Accounts of actual exchanges between airline pilots and control towers from around the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While taxiing the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. The irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where are you going? I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C's and D's, but get it right!" Continuing her tirade to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God, you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?" "Yes ma'am," the humbled crew responded. Naturally the ground control frequency went terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to engage the irate ground controller in her current state. Tension in every cockpit at LGA was running high. Then an unknown pilot broke the silence and asked, "Wasn't I married to you once?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The controller working a busy pattern told the 727 on downwind to make a three-sixty--do a complete circle, a move normally used to provide spacing between aircraft. The pilot of the 727 complained, "Don't you know it costs us two thousand dollars to make even a one-eighty in this airplane?" Without missing a beat the controller replied, "Roger, give me four thousand dollars' worth." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A DC-10 had an exceedingly long rollout after landing with his approach speed a little high. San Jose Tower: "American 751 heavy, turn right at the end of the runway, if able. If not able, take the Guadalupe exit off Highway 101 and make a right at the light to return to the airport." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unknown aircraft: "I'm f...ing bored!" Air Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!" Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7." Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway." Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern?" Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern and we've already notified our caterers." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign "Speedbird 206" Speedbird 206: "Top of the morning, Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of the active runway." Ground: "Guten Morgen. You vill taxi to your gate." The big British Airways 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop. Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?" Speedbird 206: "Stand by a moment, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now." Ground (with arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, haff you never flown to Frankfurt before?" Speedbird 206 (coolly): Yes, I have, actually, in 1944. In another type of Boeing, but just to drop something off. I didn't stop." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ O'Hare Approach Control: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, eastbound." United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this...I've got that Fokker in sight." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Pan Am 727 flight engineer waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following: Lufthansa (in German): Ground, what is our start clearance time?"Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak English." Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?" Unknown voice (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war!"

I come from the other side of the tracks on this issue. I always felt being a UT Longhorn it was a funny way for the Aggie to get pumped up. On the other hand while I was in college I dated an aggie and had gone to 2 of the bon-fires. As AggieDave had pointed out... It's hard to explain from either side. I enjoyed the pride that 12th man means and is in Colelge Station... I'm soooooooo glad no one found out I was a "tea-sipper" while I was there tho! Whew! My New Website with 24hr Chat

Hey I'm not saying any names. Name calling is what gets threads locked... But, from what I've read here in the last few months some of these people qualify for the JS Show and a couple of the other shows as well. So now STFU!
