New Wanna ride in airplanes?
You're in Champaign - right?

Keep an eye on [link|http://www.freefall.com|http://www.freefall.com] for next year's schedule and lineup of airplanes. In past years they've had Ford trimotors, balloons, a constellation, a B-24, and even a 727. Its pretty near to you I think. I went a few years ago and jumped the jet. Quite a rush.

New You betcha.
I've only ever been on commercial planes. Mosty large, some small. I got some family in Chicago that it would be fun to visit.

Sorry, what? I wasn't listening. I was fantasizing that I was far away, very alone, and reading a book.
