Are there any recorded state records for Georgia?
Depends on who you ask. The claimed record is around 64 done at Skydive Monroe out of two Casas.(the last time there were two Casas together in Ga. till I brought two to Dublin) There are claims of dropped grips so some contest that number. When we were talking about a record in Dublin I said I would not claim one unless it was 66 or more so as to avoid the politics.
It was a 64 way at Monroe in May 1997 out of a Casa, Otter and King Air, organized by the late Sandy Wambach. I was on it, as well as two subsequent failed attempts, one at an 80 way that fall, and a 100 way the following spring, both at Monroe.

I stand corrected. I thought it was at one of Monroes Casa Boogies. I bet there are alot of people that didn't know Monroe use to have double Casa boogies.

When the weather cleared on Friday, they sent up the base (10-way with 4 zipper pairs) for a test run. The camera man leaned out to check for a hole and stood up and nodded. The nod was, "I can see the ground", not "we are over the dz". The base exited 1/2 mile past the other end of the runway.
"Is there another dz over there?" "No, why?" "The base just exited."
(edited to add:) That was the 100-way. We did another attempt some years later, but the weather forecast was for solid cloud cover all weekend. Because of the weather forecast, only 40 out of 100 people showed up.
Naturally, the weather cleared on Saturday and we did 5 or 6 jumps with who was there.

Was that at Cedartown? I don't remember Monroe having another attempt after the 1998 100 ways, which incidentally is where I jumped my famous orange suit for the first time (I had it Fed Ex'ed to the DZ from Zute Sute).

Yea...we tried something like that in Cedartown. My first year there. I was the event coordinator and that was the start of hearing how people really felt about that place """eeeek"". It was horrible being new to the dropzone and hearing all the ""UGLYNESS"" that surrounded that place!!! Most of my email responses were ""WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THERE CARBONE"" CAN YOU SAY OUCH!! Cant wait till St. Pattys Day <<smooches>> Tami PS: POPS record maybe?? I think we broke the GA record at SDA Boogie (20 WAY MAYBE)??. All I can remember is my Van being rocked Sunday morning to wake me up for the POPS jump record and I was put out last, slammed my head on the planes door bar on the way out...it threw my ass back in the plane, rolled out the door AND STILL MADE MY SLOT....THANK YOU JESUS
sorry just caught the "that's another thread" damage done OOOPS!
