Get this board going

Post by Boomerang »

I went to Aviation Challenge in July of 1996. I went to what was then called Aviation Challenge Intermediate. A year later they changed to the Mach 3 name. It was my second favorite Space Camp program right behind Advanced Space Academy I've actually been to 4 programs. I had a great team I was there over the 4th of July in 1996 on the Red Rippers team. My callsign was Loverboy. If there is anyone out their who was there the same week during the same summer or who went to AC any time and would like to talk just send me an IM if you're on AOL or have AIM or you can email me.

Yeah! Nathalie is awesome!

While I never had the pleasure of having her as my counselor, she picked me up at the airport on several occasions, and I fairly recently had the pleasure of speaking with her at one of the "Mission to Malls" events (of which, I will post [underexposed] photos of eventually)

I never went to AC but at ASA we got to go on a couple of the water simulators. They were a blast. I'd really like to go to AC. If I do I'd go next summer.

Space Camp is (or at least was) offering 10% off and were waiving the "stay a day late/arrive a day early" fees for the weekend if you attend two camps back-to-back.

yeah, here's a quote from spacecamp.com:

TWO WEEK OPTION

Six days is not enough? How about two weeks? You can now pair your ADVANCED SPACE ACADEMY training with AVIATION CHALLENGE MACH III. Most career Astronauts are all former aviators. Go though MACH III and earn you aviator wings just like the astronauts do, and then you'll really be ready to command the Space Shuttle. Please refer to the MACH III section for specific program details. If you choose this option we recommend that you attend MACH III first and then ADVANCED SPACE ACADEMY. All participants choosing the two week option for MACH III and ADVANCED SPACE ACADEMY will have the in-between weekend late departure/early arrival fees waived, and you will also get 10% off your total tuition!

I'd love to go for the two week option but with the exchange rate with the Canadian dollar I can't afford to do both in the same summer.
