Help with Birthday Present @Skydive Arizona Dropzone.com 2nd Annual Holiday Boogie

[DBCOOPER 5]

Looking to put a 50 way together for my fiancee's 50th birthday on December 27th.She has 340 jumps and no formations bigger than a 10 way.She is terrified of screwing up and will rarely go bigger than a 4 way.
In order to make it as low pressure as possible for her, here is the help I need.
1. Organizer,somebody that has experience putting together big way formation loads.
2. Two AFF instructors to be in the base with her.
3.A couple of experienced video flyers.
4.A bunch of experienced skydivers to fill the load.
Plan is to take off a 3 way base and build it from there.Deb will pull out of the base to signal breakoff.That way for her its a 3 way and just pulling high.What do you say .comers can you help me out? I'll provide the jump tickets.

If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

Hell, count me in. Floater, diver, no matter

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

A 50 way will require formation loads. You'll need to get together with me on this.
Cheers!

Before everybody get in a frenzy about this,I just want to quanify this
Firsts of all if there is any thoughts that this will be a half baked unsafe thing,forget it.
If you don't have any bigway experience forget it.You can have some cake.
I'm PMing back and forth with bbarnhouse to try to coordinate this.
Just trying to make it a more special Bday.
Thanks bb I appreciate your help.

I'm with you dude, sounds like great fun. I'm an eloy local yokel and know all the organizers. I've jumped fifty or so 100 plus ways and know who else local has also. Your best bet would be to get with Betsy Barnhouse and or Craig Gerard of Airspeed. Betsy will do absolutley anything to keep all jumpers happy and safe, and Criag is always game for organizing special jumps for special people.

See ya at 13,500.

Looks like I didn't read far enough down the thread before responding. You're already in touch with Betsy, smart move! If it can happen at SDA, Betsy will make it happen and make it safe. Guaranteed!
I'll be looking forward to a fun big way. I shouldn't speak for the 'Airspeed' guys and gal, but to date, any or all of these guys and gal, are always willing to have fun and help out when asked. Of course 'The power of the pixie' doesn't hurt.

I'm good to two point 42 so far, got 60 ways next weekend.

Although for that, I'd probably be putting it in the DZ.HolidayBoogie'03 DVD!

We got your video covered!

You still there DBCOOPER?

I like Betsy's idea of 5 point 10-way. It sounds a lot more doabe, safer and cheaper for you, if you're still offering to pay for the load, I think I can promise you a 5 point 10-way with quality smiles and , well can't promise pretty faces, (thank god for full-face helmets), but some nice butts. Hey, ya can't have everything. I'm one of those, 'not so good a face, but a nice butt'. (Warning, my butt says, "exit only" on it.)

Yea still here.Betsy's idea sounds good.Still, where else could you do a 50 way with the caliber of skydivers that will be there.........
