skydivekc 0 #1 May 1, 2008 We are proud to announce that Skydive Kansas City's 10th anniversary is fast approaching. On June 6th, 1998 we opened our doors and flew our very first load. SDKC has come a long way from our humble beginnings with one C-182 and a small gravel floor t-hangar without a door To celebrate we are hosting hot air balloon jumps on Friday, June 6th through Sunday, June 8th. The balloon will go to 5K and can hold 5-6 jumpers. Price for a balloon jump will be $105.00. Slots are still available for Friday PM, Sat AM, and Sun AM/PM. All slots are pre scheduled and arrangements must be made no later than Monday, May 12th. We have never had a balloon over this airport and if you have ever jumped here you know we have lots of wide open landing areas. To show our appreciation for your continued support over the years, we will have complimentary Pappa Murphy's pizza, cake and beer on Friday evening, and a cookout Saturday with all the fixings and frosty beverages provided, just bring something to throw on the grill. Bonfires on both nights. There have been numerous changes in the last two years especially since we have taken over management of the airport. We now have hot showers and accomodations available for those that wish to stay. We will be running both cessnas all three days and can do 8 ways on Friday. If anyone that has jumped with us in the past has any old video footage or or photos of the past ten years please bring this to share. It will be fun to watch the memories on the big screen and reminisce. We know many of you will be attending the Geoff Peggs Memorial boogie, and we are hoping to get out there ourselves and make a few caravan loads on Thurs. Again I want thankyou all for your support over the years, we are looking forward to another great season Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
