The weekend is approaching and that means time to skydive. If you’d like to go, please let me know what day, if you have a car, what type of jump and a phone number I can reach you at. The weather looks not too cold, though we’re gonig to have to keep an eye on the clouds, but it looks like its going to be jumpable, so come on down!

Congratulations to New Jumpers

We had a great time skydiving last weekend. Several people are getting very close to their A license, so we should have a bunch of new licenses by next term. We also had several first timers this weekend. Vasanth Sivasubramanian made his first tandem skydive, Janet Monsivais, Kevin Schulz, and Austin Ouyang took the static-line first jump course, and Erin Henry and Kat Kramer completed the Accellerated Free Fall first jump course. Way to go guys!

Also, check out Charley’s new Birdman Wing Suit.
