FRIDAY – SKYDIVING FIESTA
Friday turned into a skydiving fiesta with 67 enthusiastic fun jumpers across seven loads.
SATURDAY – EXPLOSIVE EUPHORIA
An explosion of euphoria on Saturday with 72 fun jumpers in eight electrifying loads.
Our Tandems today were Candace P., Suzanne T. and Steve T..
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.
