Hey skydivers! This Saturday is a very special day. It’s Safety Day at Archway Skydiving Centre.  This is special because it’s kind of like a season opener for the dropzone.  If you are uncurrent then you can get recurrency training for free! There will also be other activities going on, as well as Van’s Twin Otter. If you haven’t seen or jumped this plane then you need to come out, because it’s awesome!

So if you want to go email me your name, number, which day, what jump you want to do, and if you can drive. Hope to see you this weekend.

Blue skies!

Hey skydivers! The season of jumping is almost upon us. This weekend looks pretty good. We are going both days, and we would love for you to come out. If you want to go skydiving, respond with your name, which day you want to go, what jump you want to do, your number, and if you can drive. You can go skydiving this weekend!

 Blue skies,

 Daniel

A big congratualtions for Liz Mengyan going out this past weekend and getting her 100th Jump! Great job Liz!

Hey skydivers! The weather doesn’t look too good this weekend, but if you’re interested in jumping we will take you down. Email me your name, number, what jump you want to do, and if you can drive. I’ll get you set up. Thanks!

Blue skies!

Hey skydivers! Thanks to all of you who showed your support at the Aviation Career Night. The Falling Illini had a booth there and we spread information, flyers, and stickers for the club. We even got a few excited people and soon to be students to sign up for the mailing list. It was great! 

Hey everyone! Welcome all of you new skydivers who signed up during Activity Day. We had a great turnout. I thought we were going to have a meeting this Thursday, but unfortunately we are going to have to postpone it. However, you don’t need to go to it to go skydiving!

This is how it works: if you want to go skydiving any weekend simply email me your name, what day you want to go, your phone number, what type of jump you want to make, and if you can drive.  If you have friends coming with you just send me their information, or email. If you don’t know what type of jump you want to do check out fallingillini.org under “My First Jump” or “Types of Jumps.” Or you can email me and I can give you suggestions. It’s that easy!

 It’s looking a little cloudy this weekend but if you want to go we will take you down! Blue skies! 

I’ve been thinking about some things that I would like to see happen before I take off, before the end of the semester. So here are a few ideas, some goals that I think we can accomplish!

250 New Jumpers

5 New Licensed Members

Cool, new flyers for publicity

Give aways on the radio

Raffles for tandems for fundraising

Travel to dropzones around the state

Skydiving courses on canopy flight

Getting a Falling Illini Parachute

Hosting a Skydiving Collegiate Invitational

New contests for members

All of these goals are possible with the help of our jumpers, members, and supporters. With your help we can share the wonderful sport of skydiving with everyone!

Welcome back to the beautiful blue skies! I know it’s cold out, and you’re getting back into the swing of things but if you want to go skydiving too, then we’ll do it! If you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane this weekend email me back with your name, the type of jump you want to do, your number, and if you can drive. We’ll get you set up.

 Blue skies,

 Daniel
