DualHawk 0 #1 November 20, 2007 Strong Enterprises will be doing two AATV (Aerial ATV) drops out of a Casa on Sunday morning, November 25th, 2007 in Lake Wales, FL, and Ted Strong would like to extend an invitation to all local skydivers to come on down and check out the drops. We have a few factory videographers, but will also be hiring additional videographers to help chronicle this latest drop session. If you are a videographer local to Central Florida and would like to be a part of our drops, please feel free to send me a PM with your video resume. (Any videographer chosen will of course receive a full briefing as to the Do's and Don'ts of skydiving in close proximity to a manned vehicle.) We are bringing the 2-Seat AATV, and our driver will of course be Ted, with a couple of lucky factory workers riding right seat on the drops. If you like what you see, you can always encourage Ted (hint...hint...hint) to bring the fleet of AATVs to the next World Freefall Convention so some lucky fun jumpers can log "Kawasaki AATV" in the "Equipment" section of their log books. I apologize if this is considered product advertising, but people ask all the time when we will be dropping locally, and Ted wanted to give you all an opportunity to see it live, and of course ask any questions you have about the AATV system. Even if our jump roster is full for videographers, we always welcome additional photos and video from the ground. So, if you need an excuse to get out of the house this weekend after Thanksgiving, come on down to Lake Wales and watch Ted Strong drive an AATV out of a Casa. If I can answer any questions, feel free to contact me via email (tomnoonan@strongparachutes.com) over the weekend. I'll be out of town until Sunday, but will be checking email daily. Best Regards, Tom Noonan Tandem Director Strong Enterprises (PS- I suppose technically this could/should be posted in the Events forum, but I thought given the uniqueness of the AATV, that I would post it here first, and if it's considered too specific for this forum, that a mod could move it. Thanks!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DualHawk 0 #2 November 21, 2007 We decided to drop a second AATV, so we have post poned the drops from Sunday November 25th, 2007 to tentatively Teusday November 27th, 2007 to prep the second vehicle. We are just waiting to confirm the Casa will still be available Teusday and then we'll finalize the date. As soon as I have confirmation either way, I'll post another update.
