⭐️ Brendon Hunter – 100th Jump
⭐️ Michael Foenander – Completed AFF
⭐️ Jordan McEvoy – Completed AFF
Monday 11th was a quiet start to the week. No loads due to the weather.
Tuesday was better. Several loads were done and Michael Foenander and Hiro Xu did Stages 2, 3 & 4 of their AFF Courses. Kristina, Finn and Kurt got stuck into it along with a few regular fun jumpers.
Another three loads were done on Wednesday. Grace Dunbar arrived for a Tandem.
Michael Foenander powered through AFF Stages 5, 6 & 7 and Jacob Leggett did a Refresher. Kurt was still having fun. So were other fun jumpers.
On Thursday Michael Foenander did Stages 8 & 9 – completing his AFF Course. Congratulations! Chico did B-Rel 3. The regulars plus some also got stuck into it.
By Friday we had run out of AFF students but Rhiannon and Kurt carried on with their B-Rels. More fun jumpers arrived.
Bad weather also arrived on Saturday. However some loads got in the air. Our new students, Mathew Docherty, Joshua Hart, and our pilot Dominic Gretener all managed to get Stage 1 done.
The Bellas all-girl 4 way team managed a couple of practice jumps and Mossy’s new 8 way crew managed to get one training jump away. The rest of the fun jumpers here dodged the clouds.
The low cloud base on Sunday morning kept everybody grounded. Eventually it lifted and fun jumpers, teams, students and our new Tandems Tarley Maddern, Luce De Yrigoyen, & Evert McQueen got to skydive.
Student Hiro Xu did AFF Stage 5 and Jordan McEvoy did AFF Stage 9 – congratulations Jordan!

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.
