Night Jumps! June 14, several jumpers took advantage of the full moon and donned their glow sticks and strobes for night jumps. Pilot Brent Ingham flew 5 loads until after 1:00 in the morning. In addition to helping Nick Bennett and Scott Cutting qualify for their D license, others took part in solos and relative work jumps, such as a 3 point 3 way completed by Rick Gardner, Rance Sackrider and Bill Hubbell. Also making jumps (when not creating their own full moon) were Jason Norris, Jaime Schonfeldt, Steve Schonfeldt, Craig Ketter, Mike Earley, Turk Chapman.
