"Distant Thunder" is back! And it's going to be Saturday, September 2, 2000, at the Parachute Center Lodi, California. There will be a 20-way captain's draw, and preregistration is highly recommended. You must meet C license requirements to compete or just be off student status to jump.
 
Also, there will be some disabled skydivers from around the country present. Some of them are Pieces of Eight. There is also an invitation to first time disabled skydivers. Displays of adaptive equipment for different sports and media attention will be featured. All proceeds will go to "Disabled Sports USA", Motherlode Chapter. These guys run a Adaptive Ski Program at Bear Valley CA. They are growing and they need your support. There will also be a raffle with prizes, party, T-shirts, dinner, and much more.
 
To register send an e-mail to Dan Fairchild at dtfairchild@mediaone.net, or call 209 982-9093. There is a lot of response already so please register early to ensure your slot.

Orly King will be at Pepperell as part of his freefly tour around the country. He will be bringing demo equipment from Javelin, Icarus and Precision Aerodynamics. He will be here during the New England Boogie from August 24-27, and will be available all day for coaching. Freefly coached jumps with Orly complete with a video will be $65 per jump.
