January's X51 fly-in comprised a combination of
activities.
Breakfast, Chikee-Chat, Safety Seminar, Club Meeting, a lesson on the
sport of skydiving, and a few words from Steve Rogers. Julio and Jose
made a terrific and bountiful breakfast. Everybody had seconds yet we
still had leftovers! For only 3 bucks you simply won't find a better
deal in Miami!! Your loss if you missed it, (but you can still
make up for it next month).
Next came the club's monthly meeting
during which Cap'n Bob presided.
This week's "Chikee Chat" and door prize
came courtesy of Fred Whitsit from
Skydive Miami. Fred and his crew were kind enough to drop in
(literally) to give us an informative talk about their sport before
departing with our lucky door prize winner (Julio Hernandez Jr.) to show him first
hand how to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Needless to say,
there was no lack of adrenaline in Julio's system that day!
Afterwards Mr. Steve Rogers from the
Homestead Air Reserve Base gave a talk about the tower operations at the
base. There may be another tour of the base in our future, but this time
including time in a tower simulator!
LAFA extends a warm thank-you to Fred and
his team from Skydive Miami and to Steve Rogers from the Homestead Air
Reserve Base.
