Arizona Airspeed Tunnel Camps
by Kurt Gaebel - nsl@skyleague.comArizona Airspeed has created a separate website dedicated to their wind tunnel training camps at SkyVenture in Orlando, Florida. Airspeed manager Alan Metni just posted the entire schedule for 2001. The January camps are all sold out. But Airspeed is accepting reservations for subsequent camps. The website is providing interested skydivers information about what to expect at these tunnel camps. |

Airspeed has been holding tunnel training camps in the SkyVenture freefall simulator throughout 2000. The pros from Arizona have developed the Airspeed Tunnel Training Curriculum and are integrating it into the comprehensive Airspeed coaching and training programs that they use in other skills camps and when coaching individual teams.
The Tunnel Training Curriculum is a formal but flexible approach to teaching those skydiving skills that most readily lend themselves to simulator training. In 2000, Airspeed members have coached over 50 students for over 130 hours in the tunnel. They have scheduled many more camps for 2001. The tunnel business has obviously grown so strongly that Airspeed has now created the website to communicate with potential participants. The website is located at www.tunnelcamp.com.
Besides administrative information on how to participate it is also offering an overview of the curriculum. It is amazing to see how valuable this training tool seems to be for everybody. The Floridian skydivers surely know about that. But Airspeed is from the west coast. And they are holding their training camps in Florida without ever putting a foot on any of the nearby skydiving centers. However, some of their students are once in a while taking a fresh breath of the real Florida freefall air. |
| Take a North Pole Skydiving Adventure! All adventure-minded people are invited to venture to the North Pole in April 2001.
