L-39 Jet Fighter Video (1/25)

Ever wonder what it's like to fly in a jet fighter? The link above is from an edited video that puts YOU in the cockpit of an L-39 jet fighter!

2009 Everglades Boogie (1/24)

The "Everglades skydiving boogie" is a rather large skydiving event that was held again in 2009 (in it's second straight year since 2008) in Clewiston, Florida at Air Adventures. This event was held from January 23-25 and had a large aircraft lineup ... For skydiving: 2 twin Otters, a Sky-van, a Bell 412 helicopter, and a Pitts Special. For rides: An Extra 300, hang gliding, and an L-39 jet fighter!



What an awesome event, fabulously put together by the great folks at Air Adventures! You can check out this event, along with many others, in my SKYDIVING section of my web site. You can also jump right to the link by clicking link provided below ...

New US President - Barack Obama (1/20)

The United States just sworn-in our new president, Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States just after high-noon on January 20, 2009. Obama is the first African American to become president of the United States, and hopefully will be a message to both our country as well as an influence and inspiration many others here and around the World.



The United States is going through rather hard times right now as of 2009, and it's going to take a good president AND a good heart to put the USA back on its tracks. We all welcome our new president and hope he fulfills his duties to its fullest and wish all of us the best of luck!

Great White North Boogie (1/17)

The "Great White North skydiving boogie" is a small skydiving event held each year in mid January in Lake Wales, Florida. The Florida Skydiving Center in Lake Wales is a great place to skydive and is a facility undergoing major rennovations, including a new hangar, nearly 5 years after being devastated by hurricane Charley back in 2004.
