Christmas week started out with a fairly busy Monday as we flew several Twin Otter loads. Belly flyers had a good time with some 5- and 6-way dives. Packer, swooper and freeflier Kenny Pugh owes beer (maybe his Mom can buy it for the drop zone) for making his first (and second) tandem videos on Monday. Kenny should be part of the fulltime video crew soon at ASC.

Experienced jumpers braved the cold on Christmas Eve to make one hop and pop, but then called it a day due to being frozen. :-)

Ben and Tammy Butler had family members, friends and local skydivers over for dinner on Christmas Day. The food and company was great!

And finally, Saturday was not only one of the most perfect skydiving days of this early winter but one heck of a day for a new member of the ASC clan. Travis graduated the AFF program Saturday morning and on the sunset load he landed a two-stack with one of our experienced CReW dogs, Stewart Cavanaugh. On Sunday, his mome came to watch him skydive for the first time and he marked off a number of items on his A-License proficiency card in a coach jump with Mike Gruwell. Congrats Travis!

We're flying the Twin Otter all week, so come jump if you have New Year's Eve or New Year's Day off from "the man." Don't forget $15 jumps on Wednesday.
See ya...
