Guy & Boxman & a New Record

Recommended Posts

Done today FINALLY! 121 Way, 2 point skydive at Z-Hills on Jump number 20.

Started with 140 people on Thrusday, several dives VERY CLOSE with one person out, several dives keyed to the second point with people missing, and several dives that did not go so well.

Today (Sunday) met with people departing, a very close dive, more people departing and finally pulled everyone on board, including a large chunk of the bench team to try the fourth jump today at 121.

Both points built beautifully, done and held for many seconds, and a lot of celebrations.

Condolances to those who had to leave. Congrats to those that did it. THANKS to everyone that helped out, it was a tremendous effort by too many people to mention.

Pilots were dialed in from the first try on Thursday. Thanks to Billy Richards crew, Paul Fayards Crew and Toby from the Eddowes Factory at Crosskeys on that side of things.

Plane captains, Lou, Guy, Gareth, Derek, Boxman, Markku, Leslie and Mike, Videos by Tom and Tony, Alicia for doing so much on the ground, Ally and tracey, the rest of my staff for picking up the slack, riggers for putting people back on loads within an hour of a cutaway, Janine for the food, Paul for the beer, Craig and Charlie for the rides back to the DZ (every load was on the airport), Differ and volunteers for the Oxygen, and even the guy who drove an hour to bring us the last 3 bottles they had......

whew, I need a drink - what a week

I have to say, although I am not an RW person, this was a pretty exciting event. We went to Zhills for the weekend just cuz we knew there'd be planes flying constant ;) plus my honey wanted to play with the pond :P. But it was cool as hell to see that many GREAT aircraft in the air at once, it was amazing to watch the formation build from the ground and the breakoff was breath-taking, literally. I give lots of props to anyone who has the balls to play in the air with that many people, it looked pretty darn scary from the ground, especially that one jump yesterday where at breakoff they had drifted into a nasty cloud.....ugh.

For the most part, everyone was friendly....everyone was safe and the manifest girls KICKED ASS!

Zhills was a blast this weekend and congrats to all those who now have a record under there belts!:)

Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...
