Welcome to the Freefall University News for Jan 2007. A top start to the year which were very excited about. Starting as we mean to continue were straight into our AFF programme with lots of excited travellers arriving from the UK and further afield. Our FS program also starts in style with a bunch of great guys from the UK.
.

“Oilman” or Liam Hughes from Bridgwater, Somerset joined us for an AFF course and is pictured here during documentation.

Pedro Esper will be his private tutor for the duration of the course. In the background is Eddy who is an apprentice instructor. Eddy will spend a deal of time shadowing our instructors to ” learn the ropes ” before a longer period of training and evaluation in the US. Becoming an AFF instructor is the biggest challenge a qualified skydiver will face , but an infinitley satisfying avocation.

Alan Browne from Fern Barrow joined us for an AFF course also. This was something Alan always wanted to do and with the help of his private tutor , Andy Gregory hes about to take the ” plunge “.

Andy, an avid traveller himself is fresh back from his holiday in India.

Sylvan Butt, who manages to sleep as much as he jumps is back. Sylvan was a student here last year and moved out to live with us for the better part of the year. He returned home for a short stay .. well actually i guess now hes back home..

Anton Conlon who trained with us last year is back for another holiday.

Dan ” GPS ” Clarke is here to learn how to formation skydive.

Tom Urbanksi who trained with us last March is also back to do some more jumping.

Grahame Clarke who trained with us in July of last year has also returned to get into the new year with a bit more jumping.
