geofsmth 0 #1 December 31, 2008 I recall a cessna boogie (5+ cessna's) somewhere. I recall one in Oklahoma ..ish (midwest) but is there also another in the Northeast. I thought that Swoop or somewhere in Canada had one. In recent bar talk we were talking of attempting a nice formation CRW load from Cessna's. Would be a cool jump.

pchapman 261 #3 December 31, 2008 Skydive Toronto (Cookstown, ON) has 6 widebody C-182's, up-engined and with wing extensions. Usually in summer they are running 4, +1 for spare/maintenance, +1 rented out. In '08 there weren't more than 2 plane RW formations done, but in '07 we had someone keen to organize so we made a bunch of 3 or 4 plane 'big way' attempts. The best we got was 15 of 16 with the local jumpers available. But with the daily grind of tandems it wasn't possible to set aside a particular weekend for that sort of thing; it was still eked out on those occasional first loads or last loads. Getting enough pilots trained up for larger formations took a lot of DZO effort. It wasn't like having a turbine, but it was fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #4 December 31, 2008 Star Skydiving/Boise, Idaho had a Cessna boogie in October of this year. I don't know if it's annual or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
