Another Newsletter, Monday 16th of April. Riley Russell picked up where he left off yesterday and did Stages 5, 6 & 7 of his AFF Course. The 182 carried the loads. Matteo and Michael filled them.
Tuesday was busier but still a 182 day. Former students back for a jump were Michael Sutter, Matteo Chiodi, Quentin Morel, and Robert Lyndon.
Wednesday was quiet but our newest student Stephen Roberts did Stage 1 of his AFF Course. And on Thursday Charles Grevell was along for his Stage 3. Friday was similar, a bit quiet, and the weather turned a bit nasty.
Things picked up for the weekend. On Saturday Tandems were our first loads. Kodi Saies, Kalan Callcott, Abigail Clifford-Drady, Paul Crismale, Skye Marsh, Geran Roberts, and Cindy Mintern-Lane all took to the skies. Marj was in the sky for 6 loads and the 182 kept at it as well. About 40 people kept things reasonably busy. There was a bit of everything happening. Wingsuiters and Angles were the order of the day.
Sunday was slow and steady. Our only Tandem was James Burnell. The wingsuiters were still active. The fun jumpers were having fun. The pub night was a beauty. It was a beaut week.

That was the most exciting adrenalin rush I have ever had. It was made so easy by the staff and those who jumped at the same time as I did. Not only did I feel included, but the genuine friendly nature of the people in that plane dissolved any nerves I had. What was so invigorating to see, was the eagerness of all to get out of the plane with no hesitation. Now: to the guy who took me as a Tandem, Tye, I know this man personally and wanted to jump with him. That never distracted from the professionalism shown and practiced by this Tandem Master. You made it easy and fun and beyond that safe. You are one top notch flier and I will jump again with you should I ever decide to do it again. Thank you so much everyone.
