Sunday 1st – First day of summer and it was a typical summers day hot and then storms and rain in the afternoon. Irene Davey (Winner of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail Fun Run Gift Voucher), Matthew Whitney and Scott Caller all completed a Tandem skydive – Congrats.
Angela Lyons did her 100th jump. Jag worked on her B-Rel jumps with Darren. Then it stormed, with some much needed rain.
Warwick Hodgson – Darren was brilliant! Clear, concise and to the point. Beaut landing too; awesome experience. The guys!!
Irene Davey – All good! Darren looked after me very well. After the moment of terror as he exited the plane – it was really fun. Thanks to everybody involved.
Went with them today for my first ever skydiving. It was amazing, exhilarating and exciting. Don't be scared, there's nothing terrifying about it. Once you are out of the plane, it feels like you're flying.
