Zak Tilling – Completed AFF
Adam Parker – 100th Jump
Jeanine Glasson – C Licence and Star Crest
On Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th of August we were closed for jumping and the DZ Staff carried out a great DZ preparation Working Bee. The place is looking great. Wait until you see our new Turkey Hut carpet.
On Wednesday our tandem was Charles Morgan. Our newest students Aaron Costa and Mahmoud Kammouna did Stage 1 of their AFF Courses. Zak Tilling (second generation skydiver) did his Stage 7 and Joel Adams did a refresher.
On Thursday Mahmoud and Aaron got stuck into it and did Stages 2, 3 & 4 of their courses. Zak Tilling did Stages 8 & 9 and completed his AFF – congratulations!
Friday was a bit windy, painful. Mahmoud Kammouna and Aaron Costa managed an AFF Stage jump each.
Saturday wasn’t much better with the windy conditions. However we managed a few loads and our Tandems were Haami Crawford, Gerard Tyler and Jeremy Duncan got to jump. Our students were on standby most of the day. Diego Quieroz, Mahmoud Kammouna, Aaron Costa and Zak Tilling we not going home!!
Sunday was a bit better weather-wise but not muck. Our ten Tandems for the day were Janette Johnson, Talen Copeland, Greg Copeland, Mitchell Holmes, Thomas Holmes, Scott Aitken, Grace Oxenham, Dean Langbridge, Rory McElwee and Sarah Huang.
Diego Quieroz did Stages 5, 6 & 7 of his AFF Course. Aaron Costa did Stages 6 & 7. There was a bit of other jumping activity happening, fun jumps and B-Rels.
Both our Caravan aeroplanes have been fitted with jumper oxygen. Ben Nordkamp organised our first high altitude, 18,000ft jump. Yahoo! We are now ready for 18,000’ skydiving. Tandems anyone?
See ya!

Bill, Just a note to say thanks to you mate for your continued support it was a great trip. I would also like to bring to your leadership teams attention the exceptional support provided by Andy who did the tandem jump with a great friend of mine, Julie. To say Julie was petrified on the lead up to the big day would be a huge understatement. I had my doubts that she would actually exit on the day. I put her decision to exit firmly in the hands of Andy who excelled in calming her down, reassuring her whilst having a bit of a laugh along the way. The manner in which he guided her through what was to her a daunting task was oustanding to watch. He should be commended not only for his flight skills but also his raport and interaction with the customer. I was not surprised to find out he had a military background. Ramblers should be proud to have such fine men on their books as you and Andy, Bill.
“exceptional support”, “reassuring… whilst having a bit of a laugh” – by John D. – Julie’s Tandem
