gearless_chris 1 #27 June 16, 2009 Quote Bumping this up.. its not too far off! Going to try to make this boogie.. and I'd love to do some organized RW jumps. Ideally.. I'd like to find a group of less than 15 to learn some big way skills with. Theres a GA record attempt coming up next year. But really I'll do whatever as long as its fun and I'm learning something. It sounds like Rhythm will be organizing as well, they like to help out. They've given us lots of help, and so have the Furies. That's too bad about the foam pit Andy, that was way more fun than I thought it would be."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMK 3 #37 July 8, 2009 Flying in from London for 6 days to wingsuit, freefly and novelty jumps. In Europe, we never get to throw anything out the plane other than ourselves, so I want to try some raft jumps etc. Re jumpships, I see they have 4 Otters & 1 Skyvan. I’m told they’ll have balloons over the weekend and possibly some helicopters. Does anyone know what other specialty stuff they’ll have such as “Pitts Special” biplane jumps etc? The website says to keep checking back, but they never change it. Also, would any of the SDC locals know if there is a helicopter school nearby where I could rent (self-fly hire) a R22 or R44 helicopter?"Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skittles_of_SDC 0 #38 July 8, 2009 The reason it doesn't get changed is because they haven't actually been able to confirm specialty aircraft yet. I know they are working on getting the helicopter. They tried to get a balloon from last year but the number was disconnected and the e-mails were going unanswered so it was assumed he is out of business. I don't remember what was up with the Pitts. All this is from 2 weekends ago so the situation may have changed. As for the helicopter school, I can't really help you with that one, sorry. There is an airport 20 miles away (by car) , Illinois Valley Regional Airport in Peru, IL. Whether there is anyone that rents helicopters I don't know.

There's one at Lansing, Illinois (KIGQ) - but it's about 70 miles east along I80 from SDC. They also have a Jet Ranger but I'm not sure if they rent it.... 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
