<div class=”bbp-reply-content”>We are looking for volunteers to assemble Stars & Stripes. Either Friday or Sunday. If there are 6-8 people available tomorrow Friday that would be my preference. Saturday is not going to happen. The weather does not look good. Sunday if the assembly is finished we should be able to get in a flight or two.

I believe Paragear has shut down so they took it to Rochelle at a sky dive shop.
