Catching Up On Stuff

It's been a bit since we've talked, but we haven't been sitting still at Skydive Spaceland! From filling the swoop pond and expanding the RV park to working on team rooms and online registration for Nationals, we've had our hands full. And we're looking forward to a busy weekend coming up, with three 4-way teams and SPX 8-way training this weekend. Come on out and play; the planes will be hopping early and often!

Until then... here's a bit about what's been going on here.
