Hey everyone,

I sort of hijacked the last topic about skyward with a video I made, but that thread is dead. Here is the link again for those who haven't seen it.

1. Turn on speakers,
2. Click on "Skyward.wmv"
3. Watch

Enjoy!

Hey nice job!

Brings back a few good memories though I only recognized two folks in the show. My time there was quite a few years ago.

It looks like you folks made the best of it and enjoyed life to the fullest

cheers

Does anyone have the video of them maintaining their airplanes? Oh wait. That's like asking for a video of Bigfoot.

Wow, hey CID, that's pretty funny, and it only took you 14 months to come up with it.

Cool vid though, good job skip, clearly too much time on your hands. Still have yet to hear of a company with a tight knit group of good guys and gals like K9. "Livin' the dream, man.."

I dunno... other than the unfamiliar faces it all looked pretty familiar to me... and I never worked at Skyward. I think that most of us who've trapped together in anywhere Limbo had a pretty similar experience.

I never worked at Skyward

exactly.

But I more ment to say that it was a good bunch and a lot of fun. And my subsequent jobs, as well as those of my peers, lacked that element.

LOL That used to be me. "Thompson Radio, Skyward 302 is 5 miles back, and I think a truck on the highway just passed us"

Looks like you guys had a great time!

Well done! Its a great video that I'm sure many here can relate to. It kinda makes you reflect on past companies and the friendships made there, no matter which one it was.

Thanks for sharing.

Looked more like a frat party to me than a company memoir.

You know CID, at times, I am almost inclined to agree with your input on some forums but it is the dumb-ass posts like this that get you labeled a troll and allow you to discredit yourself as someone that should be listened to.

I would consider a retraction...

great job on the video. The editing/lyric/picture selection was amazing

Great video.. It must have been a great time while it lasted..

Too bad there is always a jackass who will make rediculous comments..

Probably just pissed that they didn't send their avionics work to him..
