Oh Alli!!! Yes... the way he smelled. And he gave the best hugs - with his entire being. The way he would look at you... like he had a big secret to tell, devoting his whole attention to you in conversation. His teasing... neverending and always bringing a smile to my face. His silly messages he would leave on my phone because I hardly ever answered... His love for Katie and Conner (he would always tell me what a GREAT mom you are Katie), and the respect he showed to everyone he encountered. He is my friend, my teacher, unwaivering in his support for me to become the best freeflyer/skydiver I could be. He changed the way I look at life, and I will be forever grateful of his friendship and guidance. I will never forget... Thank you everyone for sharing. The attached pic is from the big way camp at ASC in 2003. If you have ever flown with any of these guys, you will recognize them: Klingel, Trevor, Sporto, Nathan, Wrong Way, Kenny, Steve (Marshall, I think you were sleeping on this one) - all looking like Angels. Even though it is from my video camera, this is one of my favorite pictures... Joi

Not us... and we are on the south side of Long Island. Winds were north/northeast. Perhaps it was our neighbors to the north? Or maybe a glider? Joi Long Island Skydiving Center

Huge congrats everyone!! Keep up the great flying!

Let's not forget about Operation Freefall on Saturday as well!!! http://operationfreefall.com/

Operation Freefall is an amazing and inspirational event. I look forward to participating and supporting R.A.I.N.N., S.O.A.R., and all the other organizations involved this year. Spread the word everybody... this is a great cause, not to mention our sport receives postive national recognition!

Just wanted to share a bit of my view from the experience. Much thanks to all who supported us!

Hey Judd! Long Island Skydiving Center in East Moriches actually does do student training... just limited at the moment though. We do the first three tandem levels for AFP. All our students then continue their training at the Ranch. Experienced jumpers must be current and have a D License. We are seasonal - May to mid October in New York. The Ranch would be your best bet. Where ever you choose to go - have fun! It is an amazing sport. Blue ones.. Joi
