Until just before hitting publish, the title of this post was “Safety Day is on it’s way” but I didn’t want to be run out of town due to the cheese factor, so I thought better of it. You’re welcome!
Finally, the day we’ve all been waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for is here…well, at least those of us in the north have been waiting.
SAFETY DAY! What else?
This day marks the beginning of a brand new skydiving season – and let me tell you I’m beyond excited. We’ll be heading down to Skydive PA this year for some safety seminars and hopefully some skydiving if the weather cooperates!
More importantly, we’ll get to spend QT with all those skydiving friends we haven’t seen in months.
I feel pretty lucky to have, for the most part, kept in touch with most of my jumping buddies this winter. At the very least we’ve chatted on Facebook, and on occasion we’ve gotten together for some fun winter activities.
But there’s nothing quite like being back at the DZ, skydiving all day and chilling with a beer in hand after the sun goes down. This is going to be a good season indeed.
Though March 13th is the official Safety Day according to the USPA, there are a number of DZs that will be holding their festivities in the coming weeks – here’s a snapshot of what’s going on in the community:
- 3/13 – Safety Day at Aerohio. Another great DZ just South of Cleveland. Highly recommended if you’re in the area! Check out the Facebook event listing to find out more.
- 3/11-3/14 Skydive Expo – not to be forgotten or neglected, going on in Deland Florida now! Check out the Facebook Fan page here!
- 3/19 – 3/20 Safety Day the evening of the 19th, followed by Opening Day at Skydive Chicago. Learn more about their events on the web site.
- 3/27 – Safety Day at Skydive the Ranch. If the weather, and my wallet, cooperate, I might head up that way myself!
What are your plans for Safety Day?
Blue skies!
