Description of the boogie: The goal of this boogie is to create an affordable RW training camp that will be beneficial to ALL skill levels. To achieve this, we have brought in some of the Nations’ best RW flyers/coaches and will put them with SMALL groups based on skill level.

Skydivers are such special people; people who grab the most out of life, adventurous and free-spirited. It is a horrific tragedy to lose these people from this world, even if I do not know any of them personally. I know firsthand that the people you jump out of planes with are FAMILY, and that there are many many people's hearts breaking tonight over the loss of these wonderful people. They lived their lives to the fullest, followed their passion to the boogie they were returning home from. Perhaps there is comfort that they were not alone, but all together when they went down. My heart goes out to everyone personally affected by this tragedy and to all the rest of us on the peripheral of it, as we can all put ourselves easily in the place of the victims, or the friends and families of them.
