From reliable sources I heard that plans are made for an
* European * 100-way.
Training will be in Spain by attempting an 80-way.
The record attempt will be made England in June , using 2 Hercules planes.
The major goal is to beat the official 100-way record attempt, which is planned
to be in August at Sandwich Ill.

Once I know more I let you know. _

A friend of mine from Florida called last night. He said the DeLand, FL DZ
flew in a Boeing 727 for what they are calling "D. B. Cooper Day". (For those
of you unfamiliar, Cooper was the fellow that parachuted out of a hijacked 727
with lots of $ a number of years ago and was never seen again.) Anyway,
besides the fun of having a jet listed in your logbook, he said they will
probably make some sort of attempt at the 100-way while it's there.
