slotperfect 7 #1 October 7, 2003 I was in Tucson on business for three weeks, and spent two weekends at Skydive Arizona. It's incredible how friendly the folks are at this place! I have been there several times before, but this time it became a home away from home for me. Great people, a great vibe, and fantastic facilities. Participating in Holli's (FreeFlyHol) birthday celebration jump was an honor for me . . . I would not trade the look on Storm's face when he released the bag full of petals for anything! It was a privilege to be involved. Jeff's (TaeKwonDoDo) manly transition from wet-behind-the-ears A License holder to docking last on big ways was a blast to watch. Although we did not get to skydive together, it was fun being there for it all. BTW - I hope your jumpsuit is clean by now! You see, Jeff is a very "down to earth" kinda guy! Nathan (ChromeBoy) packs like Godiva makes chocolate. His openings are sweeeeeet! Thanks, pal. I got to take my wife's cousin up on a tandem, sharing this important part of my world with yet another family member. My final jump at Eloy was the tandem with Betsy (bbarnhouse). It was a fun and very special skydive for me. See this thread for the pics and commentary . . . My deepest thanks to everyone who made my visit such a great one. Special thanks to Besty, who so freely gives away her love and energy to make everyone feel at home. You are an incredible human being and indomitable spirit. It is a joy to call you my friend. Until January, y'all . . .Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TaeKwonDoDo 0 #3 October 7, 2003 John, Had a great time - this place is "disneyland" for skydivers... And my suit's cleaner now - landed 3 of the last 5 on my feet - I think I'm starting to get used to the new canopy. Next time you're in the bay area, checkout Skidive Monterey - Awesome views (when the fog's out). - Jeff "That's not flying, it's falling with style."
