Beech Boogie at Mt. Vernon 8/12 *location change*

Recommended Posts

The Beech 99 arrived last Saturday and has been an instant hit! It flew all weekend, doing about 10 minutes to 14,000 feet! We our hosting our first annual "Beech Boogie" August 4th - 6th, so come out for great skydives, free load organizing, $20 jumps, no registration fee, and a Saturday night barbeque. See you there!

In respect of those who lost their lives in the Twin Otter crash, we are moving the "Beech Boogie" to the weekend of August 11-13 . We will remain open and flying this weekend, but the boogie will be postponed.

We will be having a memorial jump for Dave Paternoster on Friday afternoon and, in honor of Dave, jumps will be $15 to 14K out of the Beech 99 all afternoon.

Is it George's N99NN?



Yes it is! That means you get one of George's impeccably-maintained planes. Best of all, the Beech has recently been upgraded from the stock -20 engines to the bigger -27s. That means 12 minutes or less to 14,000 feet.

For those of you who haven't had the joy of jumping this SWEET aircraft, it's got the speed of a King Air paired with the comfort and large door of an Otter. This Beechcraft 99 Airliner (yes, airliner!) is the only one flying jumpers in the country, so get ready to log a specialty aircraft jump!

We'll see you here!

This has quickly become my favorite jump plane. It's big, it's quick, it's got a great door and a great step. AND, it's only 30 min from the heart of KC! :)
The DZO is being generous on ticket prices, especially when compared to the local competition....less $ for more altitude, climbs quicker and more often? A no brainer for sure!

And did I mention Jimmy the Midwest Legend would be there? What a deal.

The Beech boogie has moved to Mt. Vernon! Due to a zoning impasse with Cass County, the Kansas City Skydiving Center has teamed up with Freefall Express in Mt. Vernon, Missouri to keep the Beech 99 Airliner flying this weekend. We regret that we will not be jumping today (Friday), but we’ll be starting at 9am tomorrow.

Paul and I are grateful that Freefall Express has agreed to host us, and we are asking all area jumpers to come support the Kansas City Skydiving Center, Freefall Express, and an awesome turbine aircraft. Please help us keep the Beech flying, so we can keep it in the Kansas City area.

Jumps will be $22 to 14,000 feet, and there will be no registration fee. We are still planning a barbeque for Saturday evening, and are looking forward to a weekend of excellent skydives. We know this change of venue is last-minute, so please be sure to tell your friends. We’ll see you at the Beech!!

The Kansas City area sure has a lot of drama....now, the day before, the location changes...

What in the world is going ON in KC?

:S

Maybe you guys need to quit posting until all your problems are ironed out...you're not making yourselves look too terribly good, you know? Good luck.
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
