Other than three of the tourist sites you have picked I have been to all of those. My time as a Mfr. Rep in this industry enabled me to drive thru the 48 states. Niagara Falls would be a place I would go again. Maine for more Lobster. Hit Tennessee in Oct, the view is beautiful in the fall. Back to the Olympic Mountains. Ole Faithful is always nice. Still enjoy driving the country. As a matter of fact I think i will drive from Tx to S Carolina when I have to head out for SkyFest. Hope you get to make some of those some tie.

My phone is dead, I replied to your email. Holly crap!!! Lets not get that discussion in this thread, I am sure we can get another thread strictly for a WORLD CUP EVENT. Lets chat tomorrow and get it worked out. Hey everyone I would like to welcome you to the new and improved: WSFC - World SkyFest Confederation

I totally agree with you about Dallas. It was a greaat place, the talent there, the vibe, the good times I really miss it. Hell I moved back to Dallas in Oct and still have not made it out there. Heck my father took his last breath of air there and it saddens me to see it the way it is. Its a shame Spaceland is a big Skyride fan too.

Hell, how do you think I will get to SC, a map? geez..... LOL

Dont know, but here is the original email he sent to me. U.S. Marines select Rockwell Collins ParaNav™ CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (February 11, 2008) - The U.S. Marine Corps has selected Rockwell Collins to provide more than 3,000 ParaNav™ units, a helmet-mounted navigation system for parachutists. ParaNav is a personal, GPS-based, flight management system with an integrated head-up display. It provides parachutists with accurate navigation capabilities and enhanced situational awareness, allowing them to fly to their designated landing zones. The system also allows the parachutist to divert to alternate sites with the same level of accuracy. "This contract significantly advances the capabilities of the Marines," said Bruce King, vice president and general manager of Surface Solutions for Rockwell Collins. "ParaNav enhances the navigational abilities of each individual parachutist, while at the same time maintaining their ability to efficiently exit the aircraft and function under the canopy." ParaNav is the industry's first production helmet-mounted navigation system designed specifically for parachutist guidance. The system consists of a lightweight battery-operated GPS pod that connects to a parachutist's helmet. An integrated, full-color display attaches directly to goggles or helmet shields. The unit contains an 802.11 WiFi interface for Joint Precision Airdrop System data connectivity and custom circuitry allows for dead reckoning calculations in the event of a GPS lock failure. The total system weighs just 0.9 kilograms and has an advanced, full-color display that attaches directly to goggles or shields, providing the parachutist with multiple navigation screens and data that includes altitude, ground speed, distance to landing zone, heading to landing zone, estimated time of arrival and a glide slope incorporating wind drift. Rockwell Collins (NYSE: COL) is a pioneer in the development and deployment of innovative communication and aviation electronics solutions for both commercial and government applications. Our expertise in flight deck avionics, cabin electronics, mission communications, information management and simulation and training is delivered by 20,000 employees, and a global service and support network that crosses 27 countries.

If i remember right that was because he was trying to make up for the difficulties of no electricity, lights, or PA system that was not supplied as promised. He helped make that auction survive with nothing, and saved SkyFest. Which was a hell of a lot more than I can say for others. Hold your head up bigun, you da man!! Who TRUELY gives back!
