 Mike Trick receives his 'A' license from DZO Kenn Heismann.
After 8 jumps in 20 years of experimenting with the sport of skydiving I decided to commit myself whole heartily. In July, I went to green county sport parachute club (GCSPC) located in Bardstown, KY (surrounded by several bourbon distilleries) and did 5 exciting tandems with instructor Jim Moore. He is truly a safety driven coach, which requires checks and rechecks many times over on your flight up to altitude, including your emotional and physical abilities. In just a couple of weeks even missing some days due to marginal weather I was jumping accelerated freefall (AFF). The feeling of freefall by yourself is exhilarating beyond words unless you’ve experienced this. At a point the sport became comforting with the security of your coach with you every second of your fall. Once solo, learning basic sky acrobatics of turns, flips, forward & back, barrel rolls, and diving adds to your next dimension of this sport.
On October 8, 2003, I completed the qualifications for my A license. Next challenge is jumping in groups and understanding relativity of falling at a rate similar to other jumpers in your group. Learning to actually fly down to, up to, over to, backwards and forwards, is the next order of comprehending gravitation flight. Of course after every dive comes the quiet, beautiful, canopy ride to the bottom (top of the earth).
The fine folks at GCSPC have made the experience that much more fun. When you’re dealing with people who are sincere and care about safety, friendships are molded for a lifetime. Skydiving at GCSPC is life and what more reason do you need to accept this invitation to come join us for a thrill of 1 jump or getting hooked on the rush of adrenaline on a multitude of dives. Come experience the 3rd best thing you can do in life. |

 Helen Keller Spotting Award - On September 13th 2003 we were proud to award the Helen Keller Spotting Award to John Richardson (left) and Mike Burmister (right) for their actions September 13th 2003 while assisting a load of student in their first jumps our of the 182.
Burmister is quoted as saying, "John is pilot in command! I just did what he told me!"
Richardson is quoted as saying, "Mike, just follow what the wind sock says!"
The first pass was down wind. Ground staff called John on the radio and informed him that jump run was in the other direction. The next pass was still down wind but not quite as far out. Kenn (flying higher in the beaver) called John and informed him that jump run was 210 degrees. Well, the next jump run was cross wind.
We noticed that when it was Burmister's time to get out that jump run was to the East.
We have every confidence that if there had been 5 or 6 more students on the load to put out that they would have gotten the spot perfect.
Everyone landed safely on the DZ

 Bobby McCoin receives his "A" license from DZO Kenn Heismann. Bobby began his training as a Staticline student. He has a shoulder that didn't like to hang from the strut so he switched to AFF to complete his training.
If you want to fall fast ask Bobby to jump w/ you!
Congratulations Bobby!
Bobby wants to send the following message to his son who is serving us all in Iraq, "YOU'RE NEXT!"
