John C., if u are lurking maybe you can offer them
a reduced rate on a wave flight.

So we are standing around the airport watching the wind blow 35+ and
the rotor pound away overhead. Out shuffle a bunch of sky divers, they
hop in a jump plane and blast off. Their destination? To jump into a
nearby stadium full of people as the kick off to the annual Boulder
Boulder foot race. The results were predictable with sky divers
scattered around the neighborhood in trees and on roof tops, and a
spectacular face plant in the stands - all captured in grim detail by
the local news copter. Like my instructor once said, "in aviation the
decision of what not to do can be as important as what to do"

Falling out of the sky is hardly "aviation" :P

Any idiot can jump off a cliff or a bridge or out of
a plane; only a skilled idiot can GAIN altitude :PPPPPP
