On
Thursday, June 25th, an incredible group of men became the first to
Skydive Over Denali. They exited higher than the highest mountain in
North America, braved temperatures reaching 60 below and spent up to
30 minutes under canopy before landing near an Alaskan river. Some
hit
the designated target. Others landed short and needed to be picked up
by helicopter. The event proved to be more of an incredible adventure
than any could have imagined.
At times, it seemed as if this
historic skydive would never happen, but happen it did. An initial
request to land on a glacier near Mt McKinley was denied by the National
Park Service. The original jump plane failed to get approval from the
FAA to fly without a door. But, problem solving is one of the things we
do best. A landing zone outside the park was located and a great
jump aircraft was flown in from Seattle.
Weather proved to be the biggest obstacle.
"The mountain makes its own weather", we heard
time and time again from the locals. But finally, on the day everyone
was set to pack up for home, the skies cleared and the sun appeared.
The mountain known as "The Great One" decided to welcome us after all!

The
bride wore white. The groom wore a tux. But the June 20 wedding
of Erin Finnegan and Noah Fulmor was far from traditional. The
two gave new meaning to the phrase "destination wedding" when
they became the first to marry aboard a ZERO-G
flight. Others lose weight before the big day...they
went weightless during their wedding ceremony.
If you'd like help planning your own ZERO-G wedding, give us
a call. (In fact, we'll be happy to help plan any adventurous
wedding you can dream up!)
For those already happily married, or happily single, we offer
traditional zero-gravity flights in Florida, Vegas and select
cities across the US. The cost per person is $5197, including
tax. For more information, contact Greg
or Sheri.
Our next US flights are: July 11th, July 18th & September
19th.
(If you're looking to get a taste of zero-g at a bargain price,
ask about our astronaut flights in California and Florida. Pricing
ranges from $595 to $2500. Email
