karlm 0 #1 February 16, 2004 Pietermaritzburg Parachute Club (PPC) will be hosting a Easter Boogie (8 - 12 April 2004) to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. There will be a 50-Way Attempt, we are looking to break the current South African Record. So if you an old PPC jumper or have been out the country long, come and join us for this, it's gonna be a blast. A Porter and KingAir will ferry the jumpers to altitude, with the assistance of two CASA's for the bigger stuff. For more information, please contact Andrew du Toit [email protected] [email] Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there.

karlm 0 #10 March 31, 2004 Some good news some sad news. The Boggie is still on, with a KingAir B90 & Porter flying. the big way attempt has been postponed due to lack of local interest in the attempt. Sure we will fire it up again. Anyway, see you all there. Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 135 #21 April 22, 2004 thanks to everyone, was a great time at the boogie (the rest of the travel too). Apparently friday was great. I arrived saturday, weather overcast, but the cessna was flying so I went for a 3k ft. sunday and monday were awesome. My highlight (in the jumps) was the 7way flockdive at sunset.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
