Sun Path Productions in Richmond
September 4-6, 1999Sun Path is loading up the RV with about 30 Javelins and heading out to Aerodrome Sky Sports in Richmond, Indiana. They'll set up shop Saturday, Sunday and Monday! Stop by the demo tent and say "hi" and put a jump or two (or three!) on their rigs. They are all the new style Javelins with hip and chest rings, cypres equipped, have various size mains and reserves (PD, Aerodyne, Icarus) and best of all.... it's FREE! Take it on a jump and feel how comfortable the rig is... on the ground, in freefall and under canopy. Also, everyone that demo's a rig is entered into our drawing for free goodies. Sound too good to be true... well, it's not. Just another service provided by the fine folks at Sun Path Products.

Help needed...
The FSV Radolfzell e.V. in Germany launched a Web-Signature-Action against the
vignette for VFR-airplanes in Germany. Help them to stop the plans of the Federal Government of Germany and fill out the form on their web site http://www.fsv-radolfzell.de.
General Aviation in Germany is threatened by a 7000 DM (about 3700 USD per airplane and year) vignette, that should force owners and clubs to participate in pretended losses of DWD (German Weather Service) and DFS (German Air Traffic Control). The truth is, that the DFS has rising profits each year and the DWD already collects fees for its services. A vignette according to the governmental plans would kill private flying in Germany. And the worst thing is: It's not a joke, it's reality! About 200,000 members of aeroclubs in Germany have spent lots of time in the past 50 years to build up both clubs and their infrastructure. Many jobs in maintenance, supply and manufacturing would be lost too. You can help by filling out the form on the web site. All data will be collected and sent to the BMV (Ministry of Traffic). We hope that international pressure will force them to stop their plans.
Thank you!

Help needed! We are asking everyone to please send donations to help a fellow skydiver, Eliana Rodriguez, whose Mother was stricken with cancer. She was given three months to live in May of 1999. She passed away on August 14th. Her daughter, Eliana, stayed by her side through all of it. She was competing in the FSL league when she found out. She was going to school and working two jobs. She will be going back to work soon, but could use our support to help her get back on her feet again. A very generous person has stepped forward and will match any donations raised for Eliana Rodriguez.
If you know Eliana, you realize she is a very special person. She would be here to help us, so let's get together and make things a little easier for her. If you would send your donations to:
Skydive Space Center
c/o Eliana Rodriguez
476 N. Wiliams Ave.
Titusville, FL 32796
It would be very much appreciated and remember, you never know when you'll be the one that needs help. Thank you and blue skies. - Friends at SSC
