I think this may be a code for Saturday, but only $25 against $150 fee:

FBK09

Sunday is $300!

Vinny, what you guys want to due is fly S/SE across Kingston Bay.

Once you hit White Horse Beach in Manomet turn South and fly between the Sag and Bourne bridges. Once your over the canal the flight should get pretty interesting to say the least. :lol:

I'm sure it'll include a large portion of the coast between Marshfield and Boston. I'll confirm all details with him and get back to you guys tomorrow.

Same here, with 2.5 hours of driving to get there. I plan on getting there sometime between 6:30 and 7:00.


You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Here's to praying Harm is a small dude.

So there is a weight limitation to the choppers, 3 passengers cannot exceed 600lbs. I myself am 220. My friend who is coming along is around 200.

Harm, Vin, Scottes and CDS?

If you have some issues with posting weight, just PM me... We may have to distribute weight a bit differently in this case. Or perhaps make 3 runs. We'll see how this goes.

Please respond folks.

Saturday's weather for Boston looks like crapola.
http://www.wundergroun​d.com …yday=198&weekda​y=Saturday (external link)
50% chance of thunderstorms and precipitation all day long.

Can/should this be moved to Sunday, which is supposed to be a gorgeous day? They won't fly in thunderstorms, I'd think. And I don't want to fly in the rain.

Either day is fine with me, I did see the "potential thunderstorms" for saturday, but did not know that sunday was meant to be fine and dandy.
