blueskyflyer 0 #1 September 10, 2011 ‘Skydive Monroe’, in Monroe, Georgia, will be hosting the inaugural ‘Wing Ding 2011’ on October 7-9th, 2011. ‘Wing Ding’ is a wingsuit-focused event, but invites all members of the skydiving community to join us for some skydiving fun in the beautiful weather of Georgia’s blue skies. Skydive Monroe will be running both a King Air and an Otter in order to keep loads turning and get you to altitude in quick fashion. Scotty Burns, chief wingsuit instructor of Z-Flock Winsuit School, will be on hand to teach a wingsuit First Flight Course for anyone who is curious about trying their hand at wingsuit flight. The cost of the FFC is only $125 (event registration separate), which includes all course instruction, jump slots for both Scotty and yourself, coach video debrief, and wingsuit gear rental, if needed. Pre-registration for the FFC is required by October 1st. Scotty will also be available for coaching jumps to assist current wingsuit pilots with honing their flying skills. Wingsuit pilots will also make an attempt at the Georgia state record for wingsuit formation flying. If you are interested in participating in the Georgia State Wingsuit Formation Record, please contact Bill Killillay (Record Organizer), Tony Sciarini (Record Co-organizer) or Marc Melhado (Event Organizer). For first time jumpers, Skydive Monroe will be offering amazing tandem skydive specials for only $139 all weekend. For experienced jumpers, no matter the discipline, we have you covered! Dennis Mann will be organizing RW jumps for every skill level. We will also have load organizing for Freefly and Wingsuit all weekend long. Building formations, head down or flocking, come and get your jump on. We will have food and beverage available onsite each day, and a blowout homestyle BBQ roast with the live music of Athens own 'Save Grand Canyon' on Saturday night. Every night, once the beer light goes on, the libations will flow freely around the bonfire or join the fun on the new party deck. A nominal $25 preregistration fee by October 1st will be set up to lock in your spot, claim your most awesome swag bag, including event T-shirt and compilation DVD and have a chance at some really great prizes. Preregistration can be remitted via paypal ('personal' 'gift' to avoid fees) to email: wing_ding_2011@hotmail.com or credit card by phone to Cathy at 678-858-1650. Onsite registration will be available at $35.

blueskyflyer 0 #13 September 28, 2011 There will be 2 designated grass areas for tent camping available. One will be more centralized to the activity (louder) and one behind the hanger (more mellow). Also, the main common area of the hanger can be used to throw down a air mattress. But, hey, this is 'Wing Ding', who has time to sleep?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
