Skydive DeLand has the bluest office!

The Bluest Office!

It might be hot, humid, muggy and stormy in Florida during the summer, but nobody can deny that we have a brilliantly blue sky and awesome clouds to play with.
A local radio station, 105.9 SUNNY FM recently put out a call to find out who has the bluest office. With 40 tickets to the Blue Man Group on the line, Skydive Deland staff member Heather Muroski organized a sweet sitfly jump with some of the staff chicks and submitted the entry. You might also recognize Heather as one of our “Random Strangers”, featured in one of our early issues (copies still available, uh-huh).

Now it’s your turn. Help the DeLand kids getting some free tickets and a night out on the town, along with promoting skydiving to the public. You do that with your mouse… or fingers for those of you on mobile devices.
CLICK HERE – look at the pretty picture and scroll down a little bit to vote for Skydive DeLand. You can vote as many time as you want. We suggest to keep on going until your hand cramps up, but that is of course a personal choice. So, get going. Share on Facebook. Tell your friends. Do whatever just help ‘em get to Blue Man!

Growing Pains

As Chicagoland Skydiving Center makes its transition from it’s longtime home in Hinckley Illinois over to Rochelle, It’s become terribly obvious to many of us jumpers that this real work crap is tough!

The amount of construction going in to the Rochelle’s Kortz field is staggering. With Bull dozers and construction workers everywhere, there’s no doubt that CSC will be around for some time to come. The road, parking lot, trailer spaces and groundwork for the new hangar are underway, yet bookings and jumping haven’t slowed down one bit.

When Mother Nature decides to cut us, and the rest of the country a little bit of slack, there’s no doubt that they’ll be a shit load of jumping going on!

You are hereby cordially invited not only by “The Fuckin’ Pilot”, but all the rest of the CSC family to come out and play, as we all fully intend to play as hard as possible thru our “growing pains”!

Besties!

And worsties, of course. Here it is, the first Blue Skies Mag “Best Of” poll! It’s an all-write-in poll, so everyone has an equal chance of winning.

Vote here!

Call us elitist, but we do ask that you vote only if you’ve made more than one jump at one drop zone. We know, the place you did that one jump was the best of the best of the best, but …
