USPA Safety Day! - Saturday Evening, March 13th We'll begin safety day at 7:00pm at the DZ. It that time of year again! "Safety Day" The day all meet at the DZ to get up-to-date information for the leaders at our drop zone so we can all get the gear started off on the right foot, "Thinking Safety!" Topics will include: Gear check and review, skydiving emergency review and drills, canopy flight and landing patterns, aircraft procedures and emergencies. Got questions? Never jumped before and thinking about it? New to the sport? Been around the sport for a while? Safety day is for you. After Safety Day activities conclude hang around the DZ and socialize. It will be a great opportunity to 'catch up' with your friends and see all the new faces we have at the DZ. SEE YOU THERE!... --------------------------------  Greg Mathis Check out this photo that Greg Mathis sent in! Cool photo Greg! click photo for larger view.-------------------------------- Your Prayers We need your prayers for my oldest brother Art. He lives in Louisville and disappeared on January 27, 2004. His car was found on Clark Memorial Bridge, so we're hoping he did not make a skydive without his parachute! Art made 300 jumps at GCSPC Bardstown back in the late 60's and early 70's, some even at Xenio, Ohio. In May 1970, he tried to jump into the Kentucky Derby but landed outside the track. He always had an adventurous spirit and is the one who got me into skydiving. We would sure appreciate your prayers for now. If or when we find out anything, I'll keep you posted. Thanks. - Renee O'Neal -------------------------------- USPA Staticline Instructor Certification Course, April 2-3-4 If you are a current instructor and want to attend to meet your rating renewal requirement, you need to attend on Friday night, beginning at 7:00 pm. If you're thinking the Staticline instructor certification course is a little later than normal you're right. It's been scheduled later to give the candidates a better change to get the pre-course requirements completed before the course begins. Pre-course requirements must be completed before the course begins.
FYI: Mark Baur will be helping out this year with the Staticline course. He has offered to help AFF candidates with jumps ground preps or what ever that weekend. If you're attending the AFF course in June this is an opportunity you don't want to let casually pass by. |
John McCoin is back from Iraq.
Registration requires a $100 advance deposit. Course fee is $920 per candidate. Jump tickets and video are not included. Must have a current (2 years) SIM and ISP (no photocopies). Candidates must provide their own training materials. We will need a training roof off the DZ for the first weekend for class --------------------------------
