GERONIMO JO
HAS LEFT THE AIRPLANE!
.....and says "Thank You"
TO ALL OF YOU THAT SUPPORTED JOHANNA'S FIRST AND I AM SURE LAST JUMP FROM A PERFECTLY GOOD AIRPLANE IN SUPPORT OF THE FIGHT AGAINST TEENAGE CANCER SHE WANTS TO PASS ALONG A GIANT THANKS.
 
PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO VIEW THE VIDEO WHICH HAS TO BE ONE OF THE SCARIEST AND FUNNIEST THINGS WE HAVE EVER SEEN.  THE STORY IS:  8 JUMPERS WENT UP WITH 8 INSTRUCTORS THAT THEY WERE TIED TO AND 8 PRO PHOTOGRAPERS.  SHE WAS THE SECOND TEAM OF 3 TO LEAVE THE PLANE.  SHE SAYS AND WE QUOTE " I WAS OK TILL MY FIRST FRIEND JUMPED .. ALL I REMEMBER IS SEEING HER LEAVE THE PLANE AND THE INSTRUCTOR WAVING TO US FROM THE AIR THEN THEY DISAPPEARED....JUST LIKE THAT .. GONE...I SAID NOPE I AM NOT GOING BUT AFTER HANGING ON TO THE SIDES AND WRAPPING ONE LEG AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR WHICH MY INSTRUCTOR FINALLY KICKED LOOSE IT WAS OFF WE GO INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER"!
 
WATCH THIS:
 

 
WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING AFTER THE FIRST MINUTE OR SO OF TERROR CHECK OUT THE "THUMBS UP" SIGNAL!  BUT AS  SAID EARLIER WE ARE ASSURED THIS WAS A ONE TIME EVENT AND THE NEXT FUND RAISER WILL BE A CAR WASH OR CANDY SALE!

CHARLOTTE 2009
 
LAST WEEK WE INFORMED YOU THAT THE CHARLOTTE HAMFEST WILL MOVE FOR 2009 BUT WE FAILED TO GIVE YOU THE DATES...SORRY  2009 DATES FOR CHARLOTTE ARE MARCH 14 & 15.  PLUS WATCH AN UPCOMING EDITION OF "APPLE SLICES" WHICH WILL REVEAL THE OFFICIAL HOTEL OF "TEAM 22 CREW CHARLOTTE".
 
AGAIN WE REPEAT THE FOLLOWING THANKS TO MIKEEE-WD4DUG:
 
Tonight at the Mecklenburg Amateur Radio Society's (W4BFB) June meeting, it
was officially announced that the Charlotte Hamfest is moving for 2009 !
Like our friends in Shelby, we have also grown tired of the limitations of
our venue, the Merchandise Mart, on things that we couldn't control and saw
no income from,
especially the high parking fees and food and concession pricing.
I am happy to announce that for 2009 the Charlotte Hamfest will be held at
the Cabarrus Arena off Highway 49, just North of Harrisburg, NC.
Its just minutes away from North Carolinas most visited tourist destination,
Concord Mills Mall.
