Did you know that the Northwest Skydiving League launched the 2004 season successfully? posted: Jun 22nd, 2004 After a 1.5 hour drive south on Interstate 5 we were welcomed by Urban Moore, Whitney, Kevin, and Kyle at Eugene Skydivers. The friendly hosts are always happy to see vising skydivers. However, on Saturday morning we were greeted by the usual cloud layer we have come so accustomed to seeing in the past weeks. The last few days had been very clear, but that was not the case Saturday morning. Most of the competitors decided to have a team breakfast at a local bar/restaurant. The waitress was not quite as excited to see us as the drop zone staff had been. However, it cleared to a warm and sunny day... (more)

Meet 2 of the Indiana Skydiving League kicked off Saturday morning under broken skies. With only one short weather hold throughout the day the meet progressed nicely and finished with daylight to spare. The teams who attended were the same teams who came out last month and sat through a stalled front. Airtight returns with an improved performance over last year.

Did you know that the Great Lakes Skydiving League launched the 2004 season successfully? posted: Jun 19th, 2004 The first GLSL meet of the season has demonstrated that 2004 is off to a good start for the serious competitors as well as the weekend “fun” teams. Five teams competed for bragging rights at AerOhio Skydiving Center in Rittman, Ohio.
The two rookie teams, FKKR and Bon Voyage competed head to head, many times on the same aircraft load, trying desperately to “one up” each other. The spirit of friendly competition was evident among these two pick up teams! At the end, Bon Voyage was victorious, due largely in part to an exit induced goose egg by FKKR.
The A class was entertaining to... (more)
