kallend 1,623 #1 July 20, 2006 There is a good possibility that we might make an attempt to break the current 44-way Illinois POPS record later this year. It will be a 3-Otter shot with a target of 64 way. Yes, we have 3 Otters available. Location **probably* CSC at Hinckley, but still TBD. You don't have to be from IL to participate but you DO have to be 40 or over and RW current with big way experience. I am not the organizer but I have offered to collect names, so if you qualify and are interested, please email me (john-at-kallend-dot-net). Details to follow as they become available. Thanks....

kallend 1,623 #3 July 21, 2006 QuoteHey thats great John. So you'll get a slot, huh? I don't know, I'm just doing the secretarial part. The captains are assigning slots. I should get a slot on the SOS record 9-way.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well that would take an entire jump. I think Rainbo IS current, he jumped this month. Rainbo said he was interested and Gomei might be well enough by then. Don't forget Bluto!

kallend 1,623 #12 August 3, 2006 OK, we have 3 Otters for the weekend of Sept 9-10. Location will be Skydive Chicago (Ottawa, IL). If you're interested, 40 or over, current and have big-way experience, let me know. We'll probably try to do a IL SOS record too (we need 9, have 5 so far)....
