DZ update - 2008/10/09 11:14
Hello there!
I wanted to fill everyone in on what was going on and where the DZ stands.
First, I want to personally apologize for not being better at communicating with all of you. As you know, running a dropzone is not easy, and we have learned the hard way that the less you tell people, the less they can use against you or sabotage your plans. It's really hard to get out of that mentality, but we have a wonderful group of jumpers and the last thing Paul and I want is to lose any of you to rumors. So, with faith that it won't come back to bite me, here's the update:
First things first: We are NOT closing the dropzone. Paul and I have poured our heart and soul into this business for three long years, and we have built a wonderful family and had a lot of fun doing it. We're not giving up on all of you for anything!
But, as many of you know, we are no longer leasing the Beech, which means we are in the process of looking for a new aircraft. We have several things going, but at this time of year aircraft leasors are looking for long-term (winter) commitments. Our last court date with the city is next week, and although we're confident we will once again win, we don't want to commit to anything until that's fully behind us. So, barring an aircraft miracle, we will be closed again this weekend.
Also, I wanted to thank all of you for your ongoing support, and want you to know that our jumper-family is a big part of our decision-making process. We want the dropzone to succeed as much as you do!
Blue skies (and missing you all),
Jo
