  1. Oh ya! there will be a chopper there that weekend for those of you that have not done a chopper jump or just want to do another one. Its a Shwitzer kinda small but still a chopper and a hoot
  2. Skydive San Marcos is getting ready to install a Swoop Ditch! What seems to be the best results 1.Cross Wind (prevailing winds) 2. Width 3. length 4. Depth
  3. Our grand Caravan will be here by then also!.... .............Can you say BIG WAY@ SSM?
  4. The Otter is still here for now, however we have purchased a grand caravan, with the big engine. We feel that this will help keep the jumping to a reasonable cost and much more cost effective maintenance program for us (half the Fuel & Engine maintenance) and with the ever aging Otter fleet (30 to 40 years old) and the rising cost of fuel we think this is way to go
  5. Skydive San Marcos is looking for a couple of Tandem Video people , lots of work, beautiful area and a Grand Caravan. Drop us a line @ ssmi@corridor.net

  16. Houston skydiving Center will be reeicving a grand Caravan for at least the Winter and Spring. As you may probably know we have been open (kinda) for several months. The plan was to put a King Air there full time after we received our Otter. Wellll! thats changed a little, For those of you that haven't been there since the re-opening its much the same but spiffed up a little great hanger, huge landing area, paved 5500 runway not to mention the city has built us a new paved parking area and paved the roads back to our hanger.

  22. On behalf of Deb and myself, the staff and management, and all of the jumpers at Skydive San Marcos want to thank Skydive Dallas for sending us there Caravan for the weekend. We certainly tip our hats (and beers on the last load) for coming through and helping us with our needs. As most of you already know, we lost our King Air on Friday afternoon, and by sunset that same day we had a call from Skydive Dallas to say there Caravan would be there by 8:30 Saturday morning. Well, Saturday morning, the Caravan arrived, we all met Eddie the pilot, and the games began. We do want to aploligize that Eddie did not get any breaks that day, we kept him feed, plenty of water, and well, bathroom breaks??? Sorry dude. Anyway, at the end of the weekend, 29 loads!!! Skydive Dallas, you guys ROCK, you have an awesome aircraft ( our jumpers are still talking about it ) and Eddie, what can we say? WE LOVE YOU MAN!!!!!! Kuddos, Kuddos, Kuddos!!!!! Phil & Deb Chappell
  23. Skydive Dallas after hearing of SSMI's unfortunate total loss of there King Air was gracious enough to send us there SWEET Caravan for the weekend. From the Staff and all of our jumpers we would just like to pass along a very big ( Thank You) you guys really do ROCK Kevlar
