    A few of you are here initially by invitation to help get JF airborne. We are fortunate to have some high time pilots and owners on YF who expressed an interest in this new community. People such as yourselves are the reason YF is successful.

    I've laid the foundation for JetForums, but ultimately your discussions will determine the kind of people JF attracts and the resource we build, collectively.

    Initially, it's important to have relevant discussions; the kind of topics that pilots and owners will benefit from.

    Thanks to all!

    Carl,

    Thanks for the invitation. I have every reason to believe this will be a huge success, as is YachtForums. Hopefully I can be an asset, not a liability

    Keep your nose up in the turns!

    Hey Carl,
    Congratulations on bringing JF from a distant dream to reality. All of your hard work and countless hours have now resulted in the birth of a new, valuable forum. Your dedication will help bring JF to the same level that YF is at.
    All the best!

    Let me be one of the first to post a photo of said subject.

    Thanks Carl and be careful: Fly low and slow..:D

    Refreshing with a brand new forum, lets keep it clean and honest with a bit of humor in the Mile High Club: Gentlemen Start Your Engines.

    Best of luck Carl, no doubt this forum will be as popular as its older sibling.

    Great work as usual.

    Regards,

    Good Luck and Best Wishes

    Still trying to ascertain a reason to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.

    Anyone having any input should start a thread to enlighten me.

    Thanks in advance.

    P.S.- Other than D. B. Cooper's reason, that is.

    Well, I had a good reason back in 1982: My girlfriend ditched me for somebody else and to help forget her, I took up parachute jumping.
    Crushed left ankle on first jump and it worked: I quickly forgot about the girl. Had other things on my mind..:rolleyes:

    Just got the email about the new forum, I'm a long time lurker over on YF from when I was living in Poole on the South Coast of England. I'm now living in the peak District, pretty much under the flight path for Manchester airport so get to see some interesting jets flying around now and then. I enjoy a good airshow as well so I guess I'll be lurking here too :D

    I hope you'll retire your lurking status and help us get this virtual airshow started!

    Carl,

    Thank you for the invitation. While I have spent my life involved with the yachting industry, I have always been interested and enjoyed jet aviation. I have been fortunate to have flown on some beautiful aircraft since my early 20's. Just love the smell of jet fuel in the morning! :)

    I'm sure this will be a wonderful forum!

    Thanks for the invite, Carl. I hope that I, along with various aviationistas, can contribute to your great idea. Keep up the good work and hopefully, we'll get some great stories and pics on here for the rest of us to gloat and slaver over!

    Again congratulations for your stunning new forum. The wait was it worth even if I did not get an invitation. :eek:

    I will now take time to stroll through the forums and educate myself.

    Long time YF lurker here. Have dreams of retiring on a boat some day, but keeping a fleet of birds in the air leaves little time for water. I'll keep an eye on JetForums. Might have something to add here. ;)

    So I tried to upload an avatar, but "Remote File is Too Large".

    How do I make it smaller...?

    Dag,

    I'll miniaturize your pic into an avatar when I return from a biz trip. Currently in Charleston, logging on from an iPad. Back tomorrow.
