It was a busy week at
the Pennridge airport.
Wednesday the airport
was host to a local
business expo that
displayed about 75 local
businesses. Both the
airport and the skydiving |
|
center had their own booth. We sparked interest among
expo-goers, and hope to see many of them come out and experience
their first skydive.
Friday was a great day for Skydive Pennridge as we welcomed Bob
Christ, our first local pilot, who is also skydiver enthusiast.
He kept us busy flying loads all weekend. Several students showed
up Friday afternoon to jump, and our favorite Jersey Boy, Joe Andrino
came out to complete his IAF Level III. He is looking forward to
moving on to AFF, and experiencing freefall in a whole new way.

We experienced delays in our jump schedule on Saturday
because of strong winds. Our student's were very understanding,
and seemed to appreciate the fact that we put their safety above
all else. Patience paid off for tandem students Boris and Anna,
as they finally got to go for their first skydive. Sunset load Saturday
was a learning load, as local AFF students David Kramar and Tammy
Hein completed IAF level II and level I respectively.
All the waiting on Saturday seemed to pay off on Sunday. We couldn't
have asked for a better day to skydive! Everyone stayed busy as
we put loads up all day. Jamie Hange came out for the third week
in a row to take another step toward certification. He is looking
forward to ground school, and starting his solo skydiving career. |

We had a fun crowd of postal workers from Brooklyn,
and several took the leap with tandem jumps. We also added several
fresh favorites to our list of new skydivers. Cameron Hienes, Stephanie
Peterson, and Tom Cook enjoyed their first skydive, and we had a
blast sharing the experience with them as well.
The skydive staff ended the weekend with a stop by their favorite
local's house. We were invited over to the McVaugh's and had a lovely
evening sharing stories. The food was excellent, the company was
excellent, and we all really appreciate their hospitality.
We hope everyone had a nice and relaxing Memorial Day, and we look
forward to seeing you all again soon!
