Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were also weathered out.

Friday at least was a better day. Ricky Maggu did his Tandem. And Max did his B-Rel Stage 2 progress jump.

Saturday was a beautiful day. Fun Jumpers started arriving early. There was a fair amount of Relative Work happening. There were also quite a few novice and intermediate-level jumpers here. Max did his B-Rel Stage 3, and Trent did his B-Rel 6.3 with Keegan and Pat.

Our Tandem today was Josephine Dines. It was a beaut day.

Sunday was much the same as Saturday – great weather, lots of happy skydivers jumping, and our Tandems were Nikita Sovetov, Tsung Leung Lam, Shannon Reed, Tyson Heffler and Ross Windle.  It was a great way to end the week.

Toogoolawah DZ was the first Drop Zone in the world to use piggyback systems for 1St Jump Students. The Student Pigmee harness with the revolutionary Single Operation System or SOS, was invented by Dave Smith and Parachutes Australia. Photo courtesy of John Meara.

(to be confirmed…)

Bill, Just a note to say thanks to you mate for your continued support it was a great trip. I would also like to bring to your leadership teams attention the exceptional support provided by Andy who did the tandem jump with a great friend of mine, Julie. To say Julie was petrified on the lead up to the big day would be a huge understatement. I had my doubts that she would actually exit on the day. I put her decision to exit firmly in the hands of Andy who excelled in calming her down, reassuring her whilst having a bit of a laugh along the way. The manner in which he guided her through what was to her a daunting task was oustanding to watch. He should be commended not only for his flight skills but also his raport and interaction with the customer. I was not surprised to find out he had a military background. Ramblers should be proud to have such fine men on their books as you and Andy, Bill.

“exceptional support”, “reassuring… whilst having a bit of a laugh” – by John D. – Julie’s Tandem
