[rgoetsch 0]

I'm forwarding this info sent out about Skydive Dallas 4th of July Boogie- See ya there! -rg

Hi Everybody!

4 DAYS UNTIL THE BOOGIE!
We'll, it's only 5 Days away. Our annual Fourth of July Boogie is better than ever. We just added the Southern Cross DC-3 to the flight line for the event. It will fly with as few as 18 jumpers, and gets to 13,500' in just 17 minutes. It has the lightest possible airframe and can take 36 jumpers to altitude at 1,000' to 1,500' per minute with it's twin 1500HP engines! It will hold as many as 45. So if you ever wanted to jump a DC-3, but didn't want to bring a book to read on the ride to altitude, here's your chance! Go to http://skydivedallas.com/exp_events.htm and click on the Fourth of July link if you'd like to see a picture of the Southern Cross.

CASA AND SOUTHERN CROSS DC-3 ADDED TO THE FLIGHT LINE!
Everyone loves a tailgate aircraft, and a nostalgia jump or three from the DC-3 will certainly be a good time. Combine this with our own Super Otter and Super Caravan, and you have a near perfect flight line!
CASA - Holds up to 32 jumpers - Huge Tailgate Door - Raft Dives and Specialty Exits!
DC-3 - Holds up to 45 jumpers - Porch for 8 - 1500HP Engines - Nostalgic!
SUPER OTTER - Holds 23 jumpers - Yep, it's our own Short Bus!
SUPER CARAVAN - Holds 15 Jumpers - Upgraded Engines - Climbs like a Super Otter.

Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Baked Beans, Rolls Iced Tea, and

I'm told that if you liked the Spoonf Fed Tribe that was out a few years ago, you'll love this band. Shoot your own fireworks will be allowed in the field south of the hangar. Please remember to clean up the debris if you're going to shoot fireworks. That area becomes a skydiver landing area again in the morning.

SUNDAY NIGHT
We'll have our own fireworks display on Sunday night. Everyone last year seemed to really enjoy the show. We'll also be serving hot dogs and chips during the show.

The Fourth of July Boogie was our biggest event last year. With the addition of the Southern Cross DC-3 and a CASA, I think we'll have even more fun this year.

See you this weekend!
