AeroSports Update: The Skydiving Hall Of Fame Celebration

The National Skydiving Museum Celebration And Hall Of Fame Weekend Is A Prestigious Event That Brings Together Old Timers And Young Superstars

When it comes to AeroSports, skydiving ranks at the exciting end of the spectrum. Skydivers enjoy their sport and know how to have fun. This celebration at the National Skydiving Museum sounds like the right place to be. Here is some information for planning ahead.

On Saturday evening, October 11, five more skydiving legends will be inducted into the National Skydiving Museum Hall of Fame, joining 23 others in this prestigious society. This celebration recognizes and honors those who, through leadership, innovation, and/or outstanding achievements, have defined, promoted, inspired and advanced skydiving at the highest and sustained levels in the past and present as well as for future generations.

At this event you will be able to:
• Meet the Hall of Fame Inductees – both current and past
• Make lots of skydives (if you are still current)
• Get a Legend to sign your logbook
• See old friends and make new ones

The National Skydiving Museum Celebration and Hall of Fame Weekend is a prestigious event that brings together old timers and young superstars…all joining together for a festive weekend of skydiving and other jump activities. This year’s event will honor the 2014 Hall of Fame inductees along with the US Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights.

This year’s inductees include: Jerry Bourquin, Dan BC, Norman Heaton, Chris Needels, and Helmut Schlecht.

 

This Hall of Fame weekend is a fundraiser for the National Skydiving Museum. Pre-registration is required for meals which include the Friday BBQ and the Saturday Hall of Fame Dinner. The event is open to all past and current skydivers from anywhere in the world, and anyone else interested in our sport.

The National Skydiving Museum wants your stories of the early days of our sport. Interviews are posted in the eMuseum and will be on display forever. Time is of the essence. The museum says early skydivers are being lost at an "alarming" rate. Help the eMuseum to capture your stories now.
