No jumping on Saturday due to high winds but Sunday looks great so far so. Open Sunday at 8:30am. Get out early, remember DLST starts sunday so we lose an hour of daylight. Do not waste that extra hour in bed, get up and skydive!! We plan on doing night jumps with the safety briefing after sunset then jump an hour later.

It was a nice successful Kansas boogie down at AC/DZ last Saturday, unfortunately it was pretty breezy on Sunday shutting us down here in Abilene. Things are shaping up to be a pretty nice weekend, knock on wood. Hopefully we can get some catch up done with our students and such. We do have our last class of the semester this friday night. We will have instructors and coaches out all weekend. If you were in the last class and have not jumped, get out saturday morning and we will do our best to get you up too.

Posted On: Thursday, Oct. 20th

We will be flying our plane down to Cook field at the AC/DZ in Wichita on Saturday for the All Kansas Cessna Boogie. All are encouraged to attend. We will be back flying in Abilene on Sunday. It is yet to be determined if we have a static line instructor Sunday. If so we let you know.

Posted On: Thursday Oct. 13th

We had a very busy and sucessful weekend for sure. The Coach course we hosted went well with all candidates making the cut. Thanks Jen for coming over to Abilene and Tossed and Sauced for letting us use the meeting room upstairs. All total, we flew 31 loads for the weekend! Congrats to those in the last class who made it out to jump. This weekend the weather is looking marginal at best. At this point we will be shut down Saturday for sure. Well decide on Sunday tomorrow. Keep in mind next saturday we will be flying the plane to Cook field in Wichita for the All Kansas Cessna Boogie! We will have slots on the plane for the trip and start making your carpool arrangements to go soon. It is a great opportunity to meet folks from the other kansas DZs. The plane will return for Sunday operations at Abilene.

Posted On: 10am Friday Oct. 7th

Hopefully this weekend will work out better than last. The plane maintenance should be complete today with normal operations this weekend. If anything changes we will let you know otherwise, 8:30am Sat., 9:00am Sunday. There is an outside chance we will be flying loads for the coach course and others late this afternoon. We will keep you posted on that also. Sunday we will be having an open house with a cook out for our guests. Be careful, do not feed the skydivers! To reach the dz by phone you can try 785-223-2319 Use to check on weather or if instructors are available. Hopefully we have phone coverage out there. Hope your weekend goes well, and GO CATS!

Posted On: Friday, Sept. 30th

Greetings skydivers and skydivers to be. Well, last weekend was not quite what we had hoped for weather-wise but it certaintly has energized us for the upcoming jumping frenzy we are about to partake in. We have a first jump course this friday/sat, we do have a few open slots left, sign up and we will get you the info you need, it is not too late! Upjumpers, come on out and welcome the new blood into the fold! The dz will open up at 8:30am Saturday, 9:30am on Sunday. The days are starting to get shorter, get out there early and keep that prop turning! See you in Abilene!!

Posted On: Thursday Sept. 22nd

First off we have a first jump course this up coming weekend, use the link above to sign up, we still have some slots available. Next weekend, Sept 30-Oct 2 we will be hosting a coach course at the DZ. We have at least 4 candidates signed up. Check with Justin W. on our FB page if you are interested. Jen Sharp will be conducting the course here at Abilene. If we can get a pilot on friday the 30th for the afternoon, we will fly loads. Then, FYI, LSPC in Weeping Water, Ne will be having an Otter boogie Oct 7-9. And Finally, AC DZ in Wichita will be hosting 7th Annual All Kansas Cessna Boogie on Oct 15th. KSUPC will be closed that day as we will be flying our bird in support of the boogie. The All Kansas Cessna Boogie is a chance for the fun jumpers in Kansas to get together once a year to make new aquaintances and renew old ones. There should be no less than 3 cessnas available for your jumping pleasure.

Posted On: Monday, September 19th

DZ will open at 11:00am today.

Posted On: Sept. 18th

Definitely will be closed on Saturday due to low clouds, wind, rain, etc. Hopefully things will clear up on Sunday soon enough to salvage the weekend. We will open mid-morning Sunday. Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice. See you then.

Posted On:Friday Sept. 16th

Hey gang! We were blessed with some very nice weather last weekend which allowed us to have a very productive 2 days at the DZ. We got all 15 of our first jumpers up and few tandems to boot. Congrats our our new masters of the sky!! We flew about 34 loads for the weekend. Thank you Brad and Gary for the lifts! Well, the plan for the upcoming weekend will depend heavily on the weather gods. I would recommend checking in here or on Facebook for the most current updates. Look for weekend update part #2 tomorrow night. Right now Saturday looks pretty iffy but Sunday has potential. Check back later for tentative start times. Wish we could tell you more but we will ust have to wait and see. Blue Skies!!(We hope!!)

It has been a short week but still the weekend can not come fast enough. Although jumping conditions were less than optimal in Iowa, sounds like great fun was still had. Skydiving is often more about the people than the actual jumping. Congrats go out to pilot Gary for making his first tandem skydive at Freaks! This weekend: We have what is shaping up to be a full first jump class. We will need help with Instructing, packing, and mentoring our newest members. The DZ will open at 8am on Saturday. At this point the weather looks fantastic!(knock on wood) For Sunday we will open up at 9am and at noon we will be jumping the American flag to commemorate the 10th anniverary of the 9/11 attacks. See you at the DZ!!

Posted On: Thursday September 8th

If you are a student jumper, we have a couple of rigs still here so you can get a jump in if the stars align right! Classes are starting to fill up! If interested you better hit the link above before it is too late. Class size is limited to 21.

Posted On: Friday, Sept. 2nd

Hope everyone is having a great week, and some have started the weekend early with the annual pilgrimage to Ft. Dodge, Iowa for the Couch Freaks Boogie!

Look for weekend update part 2 on friday. Most of our gear has gone to Iowa, If we have a rig or two left we could handle a few students if we jump. Check back here for the update.

Good mid-week everyone. We plan on jumping again in Abilene this weekend and are hosting a first jump course also if interest prevails on Friday night. Please sign up on the link above. We would like to thank everyone for supporting the club as we battled the heat wave over the last month and the uncertainty of where we were jumping from week to week. Over the last 45 days we have established a good relationship with the Abilene Airport and have been jumping there regularly during the month of July. So currently it is safe to say Abilene is our current dropzone. Thanks again for your support and hope to see you in the skies over Abilene. Blue Skies!! KSUPC

Posted On: August 4th, 2011

WhooaHoo! Summer has arrived! Nothing stands in this clubs way. Jumping will keep on, keepin on. This past weekend we had a great turnout. Turned around 18 loads. KSUPC is still going strong. Could have turned some more loads if the students weren't grounded for half the day today due to winds creeping just above 15. GREAT WEEKEND and let's make next weekend ever better! We also had 7 BOSS members out for some sucessful Tandems. With the rain we've had, the field seemed to dry up fast. We will tentatively plan on jumping there unless we get a too much rain the night before. We want to thank everyone for all the support and most of all thank the owner of the field we are landing in. You ALL make this possible! Keep your fingers crossed for this weekend and never lose faith.... the sky is the limit! Blueskies Also Congrats to Terin Gilden receiving her A-license!
