  2. Some 120 people were at the DZ that weekend, made for a fabulous event, and we were pleased given that we do not normally hold a Safety Day. Will definitely do it again next year. Saturday line-up · Sally Hathaway, Master Rigger and World Champ talked about people’s gear · Pip Redvers did a tracking seminar · Billy Porter and Tony Hathaway talked about videography and related safety · TK Hayes did his Canopy Control, Better Flares and Accuracy seminar. Sunday Lineup: · Randy Kern, USA Champ and pilot talked about aircraft safety · JC Perren set up and discussed practice cutaway harness and talked about that · Greg Lund, Organizer and Instructor, talked about Spotting and Exits, especially on larger dropzones with many groups · Paul Meagher covered all the various skydiving accessories that are available and what/how they work.

  12. Due to all the blood drives we have hosted over the years at Skydive City, we have LOTS of blood credits that we can donate to those in need. If you have a skydiver, friend, acquaintance or relative in need of blood for surgery, trauma or whatever, then let us know and we can transfer blood credits to you. The Blood Center we use is BloodNet USA, Lakeland, FL and we need the patient's name and information like the hospital, location, etc etc to work that. I have never done it before so I do not know how it works yet. I expect that blood is very expensive these days, and thanks to all the cool skydivers out there, we have tons to work with thanks to everyone that is dontaing - if you do not donate, then do so now, and get on a regular schedule. If you are a donor, then thanks, and please consider other programs like the bone marrow registry and the Pheresis/platelet programs that your local centers provide, be good and bleed for a friend today TK Hayes Skydive City
