I was recently introduced to the sport of skydiving by Mr. Frank Hinshaw and Mr. Clarence T. Lopez Jr. (a.k.a. YODA) at Skydive Hawaii. I completed my AFF training and 22 events in 14 days.
After leaving Hawaii`s North shore, I was reflecting on how incredibly lucky I was to be in the care of these magnificent professionals. Skydive Hawaii is (in my opinion) one of the planet`s pre-eminent sites for troposphere piloting. Everyone involved in (or wishing to experience) skydiving should make time to visit the sacred ground at Dillingham Airfield. Special thanks to my instructors, Mike Meehan, Paul Ashmore, Ed White and Bo Babovic. Aloha gentlemen! See you next December. Derek Stephen Tweedy
