stratostar 5 #3 August 22, 2007 It is the Hawaii boogie, Skydive Hawaii or back in the day JUMP HAWAII, This boogie was a long time running event in the 70's and into the early 80's. In 1981 a beach 18 carrying a load of jumpers to a demo, it crashed into Pearl Harbor killing all but one on board. Those who died were Byron Black the DZO and 3 of his sons and Jim "Whitey" Whiting the guy who started and ran the "Party in Paradise" for years, Jim was well known for his wake up calls in the morning of his guests, "you snooz Ya lose"! At some point after the crash the "party" was restarted and ran for a number of years, then stopped again. While I'm sure it would be a fun bash and I would love to go and see what old friends are still left, it's just not the same after Jim left us. On dec.5th 1981 N8185H crashed as it turned to final for a demo into Aloha Stadium, came to rest 300yds off the bow of the U.S.S. Airzona in 3 1/2 ft. of water.

vegasjoe 0 #4 August 23, 2007 Here is what I know...copied from an email. James “Whitey” Whiting around 1979 at Jump Hawaii, Dillingham Airfield, started Party in Paradise in Hawaii. The Party was designed as an annual event for all Whitey’s friends to come and experience the beauty of Hawaii. The December 5, 1981 Twin Beech tragedy claimed both Whitey’s life and the aircraft. In 1984 a community effort to renew the Party was undertaken. Harry Clark at Genavco Aviation, Honolulu International Airport, provided their C-47 and the Party was on. Up to 100 people from all over the world would camp out on Dillingham Airfield each year. Jerry Bird, Roger Ponce and George Jicha were brought over to Hawaii to help organize and teach those in attendance. Party’s continued into the early 1990s at Skydive Hawaii, until drop zone politics interceded. Skydive Hawaii and Sky and Hell presents: The return of Party in Paradise The Party in Paradise 2008 will begin December 29, 2007 and continue to February 18, 2008… some say it has been rumored that the new Party 2008 might never end. l. We have a limited amount of space for camping, so let us know when you/your group plans to attend. We also need to give the State names of those camping for national security reasons…. Both Waikiki (Hawaii Polo Inn) and the Turtle Bay hotels are reasonable close to the DZ and offer a wide range of comforts impossible at the DZ. weather permitting; it is our winter remember. Load organizers will be available December 29, 2007 to January 6, 2008 - Lemonhead is being discussed(surely). Our German friend Sascha Schindler will work with Skydive Hawaii on putting this first event together.
