All the summer I have heard members mentioning interested in skydiving. I was not sure I was going to organize a such event until I have done tandem hang gliding's roller coaster move. So before the summer ends, let's have our first tandem skydive (intermediate and advanced skydivers welcome too). I am only collecting $50 deposit for this event to avoid more transaction fees.

Cyn - Usually we will meetup somewhere, say, midtown Manhattan or Flushing for carpooling. It has worked out fine so far.
Helen - With a small group we have, I expect to complete before noon if we get there by 9 am. I am also thinking moving the place to Skydive the Ranch. They charge $25 less.
Original location is Skydive Long Island. Skydive the Ranch is located in upstate new york. Similar distance from midtown.
Holly - WayGee will pick up members at midtown, and I will pick up at LES. Manhattan pick ups leave at 6:45 am and other locations leave at 7 am. I think we will complete skydive by noon so we can hang out at Fire Island or other LI locations after the event if everyone is up to it.

Thanks a lot Andy for the excellent pics and videos. Your camera is very nice; not only it is more clear and vivid, specially for videos, but also much smaller in file size. One of these days I will get one like yours.
