KCSkydivingCtr 0 #1 August 17, 2006 The Beech 99 will be flying this weekend (August 19-20) at Des Moines Skydivers in Winterset, Iowa. For those of you who haven’t jumped this plane yet, you are missing out. The Beech has recently been upgraded with PT6A-27 engines and climbs like a homesick angel! It will climb to 14,000 feet in about 10-13 minutes and has a door slightly bigger than that of a Twin Otter. For anyone who is interested in camping out, the DZ has plenty of camping space, as well as hot showers at the DZ. For more information about the dropzone, check out www.couchfreaks.com. See you there! ------The Kansas City Skydiving Center Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billo 0 #2 August 17, 2006 Who likes to boogie? Couch Freaks like to boogie!!!! They said it couldn't be done. How does a small skydiving club who puts on the best Labor Day boogie in the country throw together an impromptu pre-boogie Beech boogie just 2 weekends before Labor Day? How do they do it you ask? How? I don't have time to go into all the details, but for starters, it involves a lot of heart, dedication, and beer. For those of you out there who think Couch Freaks is synonymous with Ft. Dodge, come out to Winterset and see how we spend the other 51 weeks of the year at home. Huge thanks to KCSC for bringing up the Beech! Looking forward to seeing you there!
