Saturday May 23, 2020, Gary Morgan Passed away from a long fight with Cancer. Gary was owner / operator of Sky's The Limit Skydiving Center for around 30 years. As a Cessna DZ, he kept a great family feeling, welcoming anyone and everyone. Skys the Limit was for many years the only Permenent drop zone south of San Antonio, and was the only way "locals" got to see civilian skydiving, either participating on a tandem, or on the many demo's into local festivals and school sporting events, also many navy personnel called this dz home through the years given his close proximity to several navy bases. He closed the DZ several years back due to issues at the private airfield and wanting to spend time with his family. His family is planning an ash dive, no dates set yet. Blue skies Gary

agreed Port A is a great "almost " secret. It's actually where a lot of the locals like to go to get away from the heavy tourist areas

Good point, I had forgotten about the swoop type incidents..

ok, in light of a recent discussion at the dz, I would like to know just how many confirmed deaths by a modern (computerized) AAD. For clarity- an event where the AAD lead directly to the death of a person . Personally I cant imagine that there would be many & would have to think the confirmed saves far outway the potential risk..

thank you, got things moving!

I have a Pro-track that has stopped working, I am looking for a state side repair facility. I know there used to be one in Deland area, but cannot find contact info for them. I am having NO luck or RESPONSES from the L&B website. I have done searches but no luck. Thanks in advance!

Well Gang, the weather is looking to cooperate, Hi's upper 90's, lows mid 70's, NO real chance of rain, Traditional sea breeze in the afternoon about 15mph. The compound starts setting up Wednesday evening for fun & fishing! The Caravan Will show up Friday afternoon for a full weekend of jumping! There will be nightly food, $5 per person, A live band on the beach Saturday night! Just a reminder a beach parking sticker is required, if parked on the beach, unless your parking against the Parking Bollards.

Buy a 2nd one for parts/maitanance!!

Chuck, you always have such a way with words!

thanks for the help guys, he sent me an awesome email, very inspiring

Shorter drive for us by an HOUR maybe a bit more!!

WOW what an edit, as one who see's carnage regularly.... of course the song helps!

March 17-28th !!

So taking 358/22 from I-37 to 361 is bad? If you are showing up past mid morning, You definitely want to take I37 to 358 EB to Pk rd 22 (Flour bluff) across the causeway, Left at 1st light (361) - North to Port A From northern areas if you take 35 to 361 in Aransas Pass, have plenty of time, lots to drink & lots of fuel, Ferry lines in excess of 1 1/2 hrs are very common during spring break even on weekdays. Remember, evening commute back onto the mainland across the ferry will be very long as well

Are there any updates or pending events?

Thanks to All of the SSM gang for an awesome weekend! A great time was had by all, Lets hear it for all the pilots for their great work. All ready thinking about next years event already.....

Eight years later, and the church ladies still talk about the skydivers jumping into the reception and "their" toast to the bride & groom! It was great

Sounds like fun!! Let's do it!

Hit & Chug! Friday & Saturday night! Several of the new jumpers have offered their beer, for HIT & CHUGS, as they haven't seen one yet (yet more beer) Friday - Hit & chug first 1st point of contact down to completely consumed beer, fastest time, Saturday -another individual round and maybe a team event And after a lot of hard work the depute of the mule "Durty Nelly" Makes her Maiden voyage to the DZ C ya there

Well the CASA has landed and the cherries have been opened! It that time, be safe on your weekend! Hope to see all of you here this weekend, starting TOMORROW!

Hey everyone, just a few days till the CASA arrives, and all the fun that accompanies it! JL has just got back from the store with enough Lasagna to feed over 100 people Friday Night. Remember folks Fridays dinner is to help raise money for Chubs' family during this difficult time. So bring your appetites and enjoy some good times. Food served at 7:30p.m..

Well, we did a test run this weekend, we know that the mule will hold at least 2 ice chest full of jello shots , cherries and who knows what else, and it'll pull at least 12 people on the hay ride ... And who is going to be the igniter of the fireworks, you know we can't use the on site firemen... to quote Phil Chapel "Keep the fireworks away from the $1,000,000 airplane!" Less than two weeks!!

The EMS/fire chanel, waiting for the next Mva or assult... but I know that they will wait till I lay down and try to sleep, before they dispatch me again

naked mule numbers.... think that will be a definate!

Ok, gang, with less than a month, who all is planning on attending? As for me, the cherries are already "brewing", JL is planning on making so many Jello shots... that I will have to buy more ice chest! So sound off... who is coming?
