Photos Missed From Last Week:
Here we go again, the Story continues. Newsletter 308, starting from Monday 11th December, our last one before Christmas. A half a dozen fun jumpers were here. Emilo Martinez was back. Sam Neild and Andrew Scott were still here and continued on from their Wind Tunnel AFF Courses. We did two Caravan loads, there would have been maybe a couple more but the weather was a bit low cloudish.
On Tuesday the fun jumper number swelled a little and we went up for a few loads.
Wednesday was a Cessna 182 day. James Smeath did a couple of B Certificate training jumps. Chase Andrews tried a B-Rel.
Things were getting livelier Thursday. We did six loads, one a Caravan. Ellery Miles did Stage 6 of his AFF Course and Ben Galvin did Stages 7. Mr Woo’s Crew arrived again from Korea in the afternoon.
Friday was like a weekend day. There were about 17 fun jumpers here and with our students Aidan Everingham, Tim Nord, along with the Korean students Jae Seung Jo, Jun Young Kim and Yong Ho Jung we all did few jumps each.
Saturday was huge. We only had one tandem, Amanda Cavanagh and she had a ball at sunset.
Student Lyle Douglas did his Stage 2, what a jump! The other students Andrew Dickie, Dave Oakroot, Young Jun Kim, Yong Woo Jung, and Jae Seung Jo all did a few jumps each.
B-Rels were happening. There was also some freefly coaching happening.
Saturday was also big on flatties jumping, Star Crests and Big Ways. And Hybrids. There were 60 fun jumpers here and there was a lots of jumping action happening at the DZ.
Also check out the blog: Ramblers Star Crest Day with a few more photos.
On Sunday the pace slowed, especially after the Toogoolawah Skydivers Club Christmas party – what a beauty it was. Our tandems on the day were Stacey and Finlay Robertson (Mum and Li’l Brother of our very own Angus).
Students Che Pritchard and Ka Lam did Stage 1 of their 15 Jump Packages, welcome aboard! Radion Granenko continued with his Wind Tunnel Course.
Our Korean students didn’t stop.
What a great week, what a fantastic weekend!
See ya,
Macca and the Ramblers Team.
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
