For all those that did RSVP already but are getting in the night before the camp, I will wait for you if you are running a bit behind at the gear check in. All others be sure you let me know your present and then get your gear check at manifest so I know to wait for you too. See everyone in a few days:)

Not a lot of time to post as we are staying rather busy here. I have a few pictures I will post later on when I have some time. A lot of fun is being had by all at the camp as well as a lot of learning. The improvements of everyone involved is outstanding, I didn't expect to see such huge improvements across the board. Alot is also to be said for the individuals skills as well. Experience ranges from a first flight done yesterday to several hundered flights. This mornings flock dive was brilliant, everyone made it to the formation incredibly quick and was within 6-8 feet of each other for the whole flight. A great way to start the day IMO. Gotta run, MTF.:)

PS: for those coming for the Boogie: I have several specialty jump runs set up. we will have dedicated A/C for crosswind, downwind and high speed passes out of the Skyvan. We are also planning on a vertical slalom course and a hoop dive later in the week(that's right a slalom course and hoop dive in a BirdMan suit):)

WE ARE NOT SUCKING IN ELOY! Today is beautiful outside and people are pouring into the hanger. We have another day of specialty jump runs, a high altitude BirdMan is in the works as is the hoop dive. Tonights halloween party should be great as there are lots of goodies being given away, a DJ and plenty of adult beverages;)

Well, we concluded the BirdMan boogie and Skills Camp with a fantastic sunset flock dive. I led the dive on my back from the door of the Otter with a nice tight group of happy campers all around me. All in all it was an absolute blast and everyone learned alot and had fun. Even with a day of bad weather we still managed to make over 300 flights in 4 days time. Next year will be just as good if not better as I already have new things in the works to make this Camp/boogie the place to be if you are serious about flying your suit.:)

For all those who were there, thanks for the fantastic times and flights. I hope to see you all again next year.
