Cape Cod Unit is putting together a Skydiving Rally for first weekend in Aug 2010. Tandem jumps are 235, if we have ten or more, 215. Robinson R44 Helicopter rides 50 bucks.
Nightly Bonfire (15 Pallet's high) and BBQ with the Skydiving Club. nominal charge for water and limited electric NO CHARGE for no hookups!
Should be a BLAST. Met them recently, they were THRILLED to have Airstreamers (hey, airplanes without the wings) with them and onsite.
Let me ask you all, seeing we do not have enough power to run a/c's....would the first weekend in October be better? Personally I like to run the heat rather than the A/C and Bonfires are nicer in cooler weather?
Thoughts? Interest?
Thanks
Dan
I haven't jumped out of a perfectly good airplane since I was active duty Army almost 15 years ago. That would be a hoot even if we were forced to do tandem jumps.
Ellington CT,
and no I was there, the Airstreams won't be that near the zone.
any more than a chance of a hailstorm.........?
I'd say we'll be parked 100ft from landing zone, and Airport, which was sadly lacking in activity, except for the jump planes

Dan, we better make some temporary arrangements with the Region One and CCMU Treasuries if Trevor is going to "take a dive". This will be one fun time.
We've gotta have a back up plan for you too! That might mean a special election?
Lots of build up to the time of the jumps!
I am going to watch from a distance....on the ground.
Skydiving Rally......WOW....Let Cape Cod Unit rock with thrill and adventure. Go guys.....this should be a lot of fun. I might have to enjoy from ground level. This is something I always wanted to do, but with a 14 year old daughter still at home, don't know if I'm ready to risk it.

Hey Dan
You are the Adventure Man. If we go I volunteer to take photos...from the ground.
But it sounds like fun. Thanks to Bob again for all he did while at the Region One Rally. It was fun.
