AOT Memorial Boogie Oct. 3 - 5

[Beachbum 0]

Searched several pages worth back and didn't find a thread on this, so I'll start one!

Aggieland will hold the ... hmmm ... 6th??? this year ... Todd Bell is bringing the Otter up from Waller for this round. I know AggieDave and other locals will show ... anyone else going to make it? Will be the usual catered dinner saturday night ... if you've never had the food Todd's friend rustles up ... it IS good!!

As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

All the Anvilbrothers will be there, and more than likely, we'll bring in a chopper, maybe two. We plan to bring about twenty to thirty jumpers and look foward to one heck of a good time.
I put out the word
at Spaceland, and
there's a bunch
coming from there.
Everyone in for a chopper?
Let the good times role

cool ... I wanted to jump the copter at the Deadman ... but the winds got a bit squirrely for my taste before I got on a load for it (am sure it'll be cool ... but you may want to pass that by Todd Spillers before just having it show up ... LOL!!) ... see y'all up there!

We plan on talking to him. Hey if he wants the money, chopper, and the jumpers, I don't think it would be a problem. We like supporting all DZ's! :)

Correction! All DZ's that matters that is:) We'll be doing a jump for MADDY, and we'll make sure she's not let down or lyed to this time. :( Maddy's Mother and Tom are really good people I must say. We had a great talk.
Puwee, I smell a rat!

The cherries kind of create the naked mule numbers right? I can still taste the burn those cherries left over from last time.

[cloudwlking 1]

Are you sure you want to tell the USPA Regional Director what you are going to do on his DZ.
AOT is about the fallen jumpers at Coulter Field. Don't piss me off on this one.
DON, you need to pull back on the reins.

Dont piss off the CRW dogs and disgrace Skydive Houston.

I'm thinking about making the trip down that way for AOTMB, but its conflicting with another event I kinda wanted to go to. If I come I wont be jumping, so whos going to keep me entertained? Just remember I will have my digital camera with me if I show up.

Come on down! I'm sure someone will find a way to help keep you busy ... LOL! Did your husband ever do that tandem you wrote me about a while back??

Yes he did one tandem back in 2007.I dont think he liked it as much as I expected him to.He was just kinda nonplussed saying "that was enjoyable" instead of how I came down on my first tandem yelling and giggling saying "that was BAD ASS I've GOT to do that again!"Different strokes for different folks I guess.

But he is now my EX-husband (left him in December of '07 and the divorce was final May of '08).I've since left Huntsville and moved back to my hometown closer to Dallas.So its a bit more of a drive to Aggieland now but I used to do this distance drive every weekend when I was still doing AFP at Aggieland.So thats not a real big deal.

AOT Memorial Boogie 2008 Minimized

Due to Hurricane Ike and its aftermath of continued power outages and personal loss, we at Skydive Aggieland have come to the difficult decision to minimize the 9th Annual AOT Memorial Boogie. We will honor the memories of our skydiving friends and family, both those who have gone before us, as well as those serving our great country in the armed services, by focusing our attentions on helping Ike’s victims in and around our area. We have requested that our usual catered meal as well as our donated lunches be used to help the victims of Hurricane Ike.

Skydive Aggieland will still be open for jumping October 3-5, and we plan to have several 182’s available for formation loads and SCR jumps! We will also have burgers and hot dogs for the grill and the usual kegs for a party Saturday night for any and all. We hope to see you then. Please add your name to the list on the 9th Annual AOT Memorial Boogie page on FaceBook: http://www.new.facebook.com/event.php?eid=51471885252&ref=ts.

The 10th Annual AOT Memorial Boogie will be October 2-4, 2009. A group of local AOTers, led by Kay Choate, Angie Morehead and Jan Richards are planning a “BIG” AOT reunion to coincide with AOTMB 2009, so please watch for updates through the Skydive Aggieland forums, FaceBook, and our email newsletters!



Thanks,

I am not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example.

182 formation loads??? .... I'm still in ... sounds like fun to me!

As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

[AggieDave 6]

If you've never done a SCR out of two 182s, then you're not a skydiver! Its a fun challenge. Its been 6 years since I have been at a 182 boogie and I'm pumped, it should be a good time.

I'll be down. Can I be super floater?

[AggieDave 6]

Only if I can be the dive bomber...errr...late diver from the trail plane.

hmmm .... trying to envision this ... dive for 4 seconds or so ... spend the rest of the trip to the formation trying to slow back down so as to not shoot right past everyone ... ??? Does this mean you have a main you can do "regular" skydives with now??


Also ... not anywhere near verified, but heard a rumor that if enough people show up, the otter might still be an option

Lastly ... (well, for this post, at least ... LOL!!) ... anyone plays a guitar or something, bring it along ... :) ... impromptu entertainment !!!

Dave, seriously, I would be the target... base to do a jump with you. It's been a while. Hell, if the Otter comes up, we could do three ship formations. Might be even to get a 30-way, without video of course.

[AggieDave 6]

Thanks Jason! We'll get some jumps in, they should be a great time. Let me know if you need a place to stay.

Cessna/Otter formation loads are extremely difficult to pull off successfully, because of differences in climb rates and jump run speeds.

[douggie 0]

So is there going to be otter there or what? I have 2 robinson R22 helicopters that I can bring an do 2-way formation loads (heli has 2 seats...pilot and passenger) any takers?
