		<description>To Whom It May Concern,
Are you interested in having our Green Beret Parachute Team jump into your 12 Hot Air Balloon Festival, City Events, or any other events that you might want us for this year or any
other year (fairs, festivals, parades, rodeos, races {car, horse, dog, lawn
mower, soap box derby, etc}, schools (elementary, high schools &#38; colleges) ballgames {football, baseball, soccer, rugby, tennis, etc}, grand openings, social functions, beauty pageants, etc,)?  We can jump other flags, smoke, presentation items, etc.

My name is David Lillico and I'm the demo team leader for the Green Beret
Parachute Team.  We are out of Ft. Bragg, NC (Fayetteville, NC).  We are a
military parachute team comprised of active duty, retirees, and dependents
(all branches of the services &#38; ID card holders).  We do have regular jobs, so this is our part-time, non-paying job.

We have jumped all across the country for various events and people have been elated by our performances.  We have done bomb bursts, diamond tracking, barber poles, CRW (canopy relative work anddownplanes), flag jumps, smoke jumps, etc..  We have one jumper, that is an
honorary Green Beret Parachute Team Member, that jumps a 33' x 65' American Flag.  That's over 2,100 square feet!  Jamie Lynn is an authorized Civilian who has been jumping with our team for the last three years.  He charges $350 per jump for his huge American Flag.  It takes him over an hour to pack it.  This price pays for wear and tear, etc. of the flag.  You can see some pictures at our website:  http://gbpt.us.

The cost involved in having us for your demo is:  Paying for our transportation to the event, lodging, meals, rental vehicle, parking at the airport, and furnishing &#38; paying for the jump aircraft.  Medical coverage should be available and provided.

Vicky Lee, 18th ABN Corps PAO (Public Affairs Office), is the person to
contact (or myself) to get the required forms to fill out.  She or I can
answer any questions that you might have.  I can help you fill out the forms
once you receive them.

Requests should be made as soon as possible.  The sooner Vicky Lee gets the
paperwork back (do not send the Certificate of Waiver back to Vicky; that
goes to the FAA) then it's put permanent on her schedule.  I put it
temporary on my schedule until she tells me that she has the paperwork back.
If you can put in the paperwork a year out, you can almost be guaranteed
nobody will bump you.  You should request demo's at least three to six
months out, but we have been able to do them with as little as three weeks,
but that depends on the FAA since they require the paperwork usually thirty
days out.

I can also show you how you can cut your costs by getting the Army
Recruiters involved.  You can defer some of the costs, if not most of it
through the Army Recruiting Command with the use of TAIR (Total Army
Involvement in Recruiting) funding.  The closest Army Recruiting Station to you is:  .  If interested in having us jump for you or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you.

		<description>Hi Neil,

That is indeed unacceptable! Especially since most people are traveling all the way from Manila or even further away like you. 
At least they should apologize.
I am very sad to hear that. I hope that the show will go on as planned on Saturday and Sunday!</description>

		<description>Balik Bayad! We travelled for 5 hours from Laguna to Pampanga, checked in Oasis hotel (nice and affordable) and finally went to Clark for the show. Wow man, the Ballons were there but they didn't fly! What a gyp.The schedule clearly said that there would be a 5:30 balloon flight that Friday, what gives? When we wanted to ask some questions, all the staff members were either packing up, have hightailed it, or we're giving lame excuses: "Well the balloons really just fly in the morning, etc..." Even the show mc didn't apologize or give an explanation. The whole family was disappointed. Somebody should sue the organizers. Hot Air Balloon Festival 2008? No thanks!</description>

		<description>JM:

I don't think so but you never know...
Bring cash, food and drinks in case you manage to board a balloon.

You might be interested in an old Manila Times article:
