The forecast is looking great for this weekend! I can't wait to get back in the air, as this winter has been way too long! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Yeah, the goons are a pretty cool group of people. I hope the weather cooperates a bit better this year. Last year, I got to watch the Otter fly all day while I sat grounded due to the winds. Nonetheless, I still had a blast and am looking forwards to this year's boogie!

Anyone know the story behind this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egg8NIBV2HI It didn't look like there was much weight on the tail (except for the camera guy). Are Islanders more stall-prone that other jump-planes out there? I also can't believe that the camera guy was able to hold on that long.

The St. Louis Skydiving Center (Bowling Green, MO) and Archway Skydiving Center (Vandalia, IL) are both about the same distance from St. Louis (a little over an hour). SLSC is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and Archway is open Saturday and Sunday. The St. Louis Skydiving Center is currently flying a Beech 99 (SUPERFAST 21-place turbine) and Archway is currently flying two Cessna 206's.

I'll be there! I'm really looking forward to this boogie! 4 days and counting!

4 Days to go!

Yeah, for those of you who haven't had the pleasure of jumping this plane, you'd better be ready for one awesome ride!

OH, HELL YEAH!!! I was debating whether to spend the money and go to Sturgis again this year (I had a friggin blast last year), and that settled it! I'll be there! 11 days and counting!

The 99 kicks ass! That's awesome to hear that it will be flying at the boogie! Count me in.

Count me in for all day Monday!

Sweet!!! I can't wait. One week to go! I know I'm nowhere close to being able to even think about doing big-ways, but I can't wait to watch them.

That's what I like to hear! Can anyone recommend a good, cheap hotel in the area or is the campground "the place to be"?

18 days to go

Well, even if it rains all weekend, I'll be sure to bring twice as much liquor and we'll still have just as much fun!
