It actually looks like the England jumps were maybe practice or something, the HALO jumps were done in UAE, though saying they were done there because of "legality" has me really curious. This story totally cracked me up: http://deadline.com/2018/04/tom-cruise-mission-impossible-fallout-skydive-stunt-cinemacon-1202376453/ And this one has a nice shot of them getting ready to exit. I'd be very interested to know more about what type of equipment they had on their helmets. And the 2nd guy from the left, is he wearing a birdman suit? It would make sense, to be able to get a nice shot from above that it would be difficult to get otherwise when you are exiting at 25-30K. https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2393662/the-crazy-way-tom-cruise-had-to-film-a-mission-impossible-fallout-plane-jumping-stunt The movie isn't coming out until July.

I wish we could! As it stands we are probably going to lose our shirts on this record, but it'll be worth it! For any east coast (or independently wealthy ) JFTC participants, though, this would make a great warm-up!

I know it's only a week away, but we could still use some people for this record-attempt. If you are interested and think you might qualify, or know anyone who might, please contact me ASAP. Even if you can't make it out until Friday the 9th. Hell, even if you can't make it out until Saturday teh 10th, we might put you on the list!

September 8-11, Skydive the Point is hosting 100-way Virginia State Record attempts. This record attempt will coincide with Carol Clay's annual Birthday Bash boogie, as well as her 15,000th skydive. We are in need of more jumpers for this attempt! If you feel that you are qualified and would love to join this attempt, please PM me immediately and I will get you in touch with Carol.

Yeah, don't we wish! He's tossed around the idea of buying a King Air, but it's doubtful that he could afford it. So, come enjoy the Super Otter this summer while we have it!!

My name is Heather, and I'm a tunnel addict. It's been 3 weeks since my last flight. I don't keep logs, but I have roughly: 3 minutes in the Flyaway Las Vegas tunnel 25 minutes in the Perris Skyventure Almost 3.5 hours in the Orlando Skyventure I don't have any more time scheduled right now. However, I will most likely be in Orlando for a week in July, and most likely won't be able to keep myself away while there (while money should be an issue, when I'm there, it's just not!). It's just a good thing for my bank account that I don't live near a tunnel (especially because my husband is an addict, too! ). But, it seems like Florida has been my home away from home this year (already been to Orlando twice), and is continuing to be so. We are going to Tampa next month, and a side trip to the tunnel was on the itinerary until we found out how much we are about to owe in taxes. I'm not giving up, though...I'm starting a part-time job! I'm walking a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Click Here for more information!

Just a reminder to head out to Skydive the Point this Saturday for Safety Day! A couple of the prizes that will be given away include 50% off a Wings container, and 30% off a complete system from Aerodyne!! Many more prizes to be won, but not if you don't join us! Be there by 8am to ensure that you don't miss any of the presentations. Stay for free dinner and the club meeting after jumping.

Actually, this movie in amazingly popular. If you check the web site, you'll see some theaters have held it over for as long as six months!! They put out a book already, I forget the name, something like "Little Bleeps" or something. It has lots of quotes from the movie. I already bought that and have the DVD on pre-order. I consider this movie a must-see for anyone! I took some friends who have no ideas about quantum physics, and they loved it. I have done a lot of studying of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which can be used to overcome things like addictions, phobias, depression, ADD, etc., and this movie really gets to the heart of NLP...that we create our own reality. It's a revolutionary idea, and to some, unbelievable, but quantum physics supports it fully. I loved the part about the water crystals! How awesome was that?? There are several books by that doctor about all the different experiments he has done. If anyone believes that their thoughts or beliefs do not have an effect on their physical body, they are misinformed! The scientific and medical communities are finally awakening to this fact as well. In short, if you haven't seen this movie, you MUST! If you can't find a theater playing it, get the DVD when it comes out in a few weeks! And then share it with everyone you know!

To break it down for you in case you want to try it, $5 of the buy-in went to the cause, and $5 went for pizza and beer. Each person was given 20 chips, each chip being worth $.50. As they went out, they could buy more chips for $.50 each (all going to the cause). There were some people who didn't want to play but "bought in" anyway, and after the winner voluntarily donated half his take, I think we raised about $350. We are going to start doing it monthly.

Just saw it today, and have to agree it was a very good movie. I also knew it wasn't a typical Rocky formula, but didn't know what would happen, and was surprised by it. It was very a very touching and sweet movie, and very well acted. I do agree about some of the supportings, too, though, and some of the sub-plots. And, I felt at the end that there was a lot of things that I wanted to see happen that didn't, but maybe that's just because I'm so used to formula movies. Clint Eastwood is still an incredible actor. I'm walking a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Click Here for more information!

I absolutely love my Infiniti G35 Coupe, but I don't think he could even get a used one in his price range. The Honda S2000 was one car I had looked at when I was trying to figure out what to buy, but I wanted something more luxury and less sporty this time around (had a Trans-Am before). The Coupe was just the right mix for me. I'm walking a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Click Here for more information!

USPA has recently started offering life insurance through 4 different companies. I haven't gotten it yet, but the prices looked fairly resonable, considering.
