Welcome to the City of Longmont's weekly e-News update.
Skydivers to Fill the Sky Friday thru Sunday
Beginning Friday, August 26 through Sunday, August 28, 2011, Mile-Hi Skydiving will be trying to set a Colorado State record for a formation skydive linking 70+ skydivers together in the air at one time. In order to attempt this record, Mile-Hi has leased two additional aircraft from Arizona. One will be a Twin Otter and the other will be a Sky Van. When attempts to set the record are being made, all five of Mile-Hi’s aircraft will be flying at the same time. This is a day time event only. These attempts will be made from an altitude of 23,000 feet as opposed to Mile-Hi’s regular jump altitude of 17,500 feet. If you should have any questions about this event, please contact Mile-Hi Skydiving at 303-702-9911.
