Joe,Looks great – 6 weekends for call-ins to 35k is fantastic! Thank you for all the hard work you do getting the waivers in much appreciated! Hopefully we’ll get some moisture and have a great flying year.-Sean

I’m certainly one of those flyers who would be interested in a higher waiver. But there are a couple of reasons to be careful. Most of the land beyond 2 mile radius to the north and east is private. As…   Read more»

Joe, ofrgive my ignorance. I have no idea what kind of hoops you have to jump through to get us our launch waivers. So to increase the radius of the launch cylinders would be necessary to go to 50k? What…   Read more»

As I’ve said for 10 years now… we need to request 50K windows. 35 K has been OK… but everything I’ve doing is 35K+. you never know if you’re gonna get it unless you ask… and rag them about it.

Still waiting to hear back from the FAA regarding approval of North Site waiver which has the 20K standing waiver and requests for specific days for windows. Just so happens, the specific days coincide with every planned day for the…   Read more»

I wasn’t thinking strippers… they’ve been boring since I was about 26…. Now Cubans, a decent homebrew, a nice bourbon and some good conversation over interesting topics… I’m there.

No keggers except if the money and desire is there. I have no plans on going in the hole for this thing. Also, I have had to kick people off in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the…   Read more»

Oh god… total debauchery… Showers even….a bus, a trailer… I assume a kegerator would be a part of this event?

I did some further research and found that I can get mobile showers delivered to the site, starting at 6 showers ina trailer up to 14 showers in a trailer, with generators for power and heating, along with water supplies…   Read more»

I was also thinking the bus could be a shuttle to take people to and from Bruno’s or the restaurant, for breakfast and dinner if they did not want to cook or be involved with the camping. The bus would…   Read more»

Love the idea, trying to coordinate this will be a headache and not to be negative but I don’t think you’ll be able to get 52 people, my guess is about 20 or so. You may also add an option…   Read more»
