NWFlyer 2 #3 January 18, 2008 What are we doing? Making a list of all boogies that have ever happened anywhere ever?

Unstable 9 #11 January 18, 2008 I can remember a few good boogies unique to this part of the midwest that sadly have been discontinued... Mullins Boogie - Skydive Wichita - Sure, Mullins is still zipping around, but since skydive Wichita closed a few years back, it's never been the same. Hog roasts, back to back loads, helecopter jumps, good friends, this was a good one. Skyvan Boogie - Yeah, it took 40 minutes to 13,500, but since Harry Barr (Spelling?) sold his old dog of a skyvan, Nebraska Boogies have never been the same. We miss you, Harry. =========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also jumped a Casa for the first time at that boogie. I think Joe Bennett drank Budlight for weeks after that boogieI like coconuts.

Bolas 5 #21 January 19, 2008 Solstice Boogie in Alaska Key's Boogie Pink Mafia February Boogies in Sebastian Naughty Cupid Pyro Vixen Circus Harvest Moon in St. George Bubbles joked at one point every boogie she goes to ends. She did go to the last Solstice, Keys, and Dublin Boogie. She was at Family of Freaks last year, and that got swallowed up by SkyFest. There used to be a boogie at Skydive Orange called the B.O.O.B. - Blarney Over Orange Boogie. Dunno if they do that anymore.

itllclear 1 #25 January 19, 2008 Quotewhat was the twist with the scrambles.... Fastest 8 way star. Supposedly had to have an SCR #. Very often, someone would get the SCR the morning of the meet by getting thrown out base and caught by 7 others. Bill Newell was there to hand out #'s. It was a complete scrambles, often you wound up with 2 jumpers who just got their SCR's that way on the same team. Real Combat RW. At the '76 Scrambles, 2 jumpers on one team took the "Get in or go in" too seriously. They didn't get in and... That night we built a 76 person nude ground star dancing around a bunch of road flares. Sort of looked like a scene from a National Geographic expedition to a remote tribe in the jungle."Harry, why did you land all the way out there? Nobody else landed out there."
