May 12th
After an exciting weekend at the DZ, we report to you the details from this past weekend.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT! Scott is our Jump Master Captain who celebrated his 44th birthday this weekend. Here's to many more years of Skydiving for him and his wife, Sylvie.
We would like to celebrate the completion of our first jump on our brand new tandem equipment! Another four Tandem rigs are expected in June, which will bring our grand total of rigs to twelve. Skydive Toronto is continuously upgrading our older rigs in order to keep our equipment as new as possible.
We are currently running the Para pilot course and are training a dozen new pilots!
This Saturday started with lots of surprises! We wish to congratulate Alan Ho, a bachelor from Thornhill, who was kidnapped and brought to Skydive Toronto in an attempt to live a little before he ties the big knot. Thanks to Ricky Luk of Richmond Hill for kidnapping Alan. Congratulations to Alan and his wife to be, Bonnie, and may the two of you live happily ever after.
We would like to give a special thanks to Lauren Newsham who organized a group of 6 to participate in the Solo First Jump Course and 2 for the Tandem Skydive. We look forward to seeing you again in the sky sometime in the near future.
Also to note; J-Rodd, our Rigging Captain, had a little problem holding onto his free bag. J-Rodd was testing rental equipment on a hop and pop, and completed his planned cut away when his free bag landed at the top of a 60-foot tree. Good luck to J-Rodd his attempts to get that back!
Special thanks to the Saturday Skydive Toronto team who made it all happen, our fantastic staff, including Kristen, Bart, Craig, Marc, Al, Scott, Nick, Peter, J-Rodd, Sylvie, Rob, Igor and Jamie.
Sunday, unfortunately, was a little windy, and Mother Nature put us on a wind hold for the majority of the day. To all those students who did not get to jump, we look forward to when you come back and fly with us :-)
