Heart Jump – Love is in the Air

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, our invitational group set out to build a “Heart” formation and we did just that. On our second attempt the 13-way heart formation was done with some time to spare! It was built by Dave (Macca) McEvoy, Stephen Brett, Adrian Bramwell, Rab McCulloch, Wayne Gannon, Greg Maskell, Millie Spinoza, Jag Wei, Mike Dyer, John Leach, Martin Klapper, Farrell McKay and Kristina Hicks.

Thanks to Steve Fitch and David Brown for capturing the magic!

As an experienced skydiver, I took my whole family to Ramblers to introduce each of them to a tandem jump. Ramblers is an awesome experience for tandems and for fun jumpers.
