On October 14th and 15th we were able to have a Tunnel Camp coached by Ian Bobo.  After hearing time and time again that the tunnel is the best place to learn how to fly your body and to work on skills like body position and turns, we finally broke down and took the trip to Orlando.  SkyVenture Orlando has one of the only wind tunnels open to the public in the US, so we took advantage of the fact that it's a relatively short road trip away.  Joining up with a group of local skydivers from our home drop zone, we met up in Orlando for a fun filled weekend of training.

The tunnel was a great experience for the four of us that could make it, and it was a first time experience for all of us.  The tunnel alone was an enormous help, but with the additional coaching, our skills multiplied.  And all the rumors about every minute of tunnel time being worth two minutes of freefall time are true.  This is an experience that anyone looking to improve their freefall skills should look for. 

The GT club would like to thank Ian for all of his help and for making the drive out to lend a helping hand.  There are plans for another GT Tunnel Camp in the near future, so if you are interested in joining us, send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
