Another Wednesday arrives and with it goes the Tour onward and upward to another boogie. The next stop is Skydive Pepperell in Massachusetts!
With 150 miles and four hours of driving we arrive in the evening and set up camp. Thursday brings dark clouds and a few raindrops, perhaps to get all the bad weather out of the way before the boogie?
The sunshine on Friday shows the many vendors and party tents that are up and preparing for the weekend.
For this event, Skydive Pepperell has brought in a Casa and a helicopter to fly alongside of their home plane, a twin ottor.
Sister Hazel, (yes, THE Sister Hazel) is playing for charity Saturday night to support the fight against breast cancer.
Check in later to keep posted on this weekends events!

Skydive DelMarVa
After leaving Skydive Chicago, the Tony Suit Tour continues onwards toward the east coast. After a 850 mile drive that slowly took a couple days, landed us in DelMarVa, a small Otter dropzone in Delaware.
This weekend held a special treat when a group of wingsuiters came over to jump and who now hold the unscheduled record for the largest flock at Skydive DelMarVa.
A very large thanks to all who made the trip out to visit us!

SummerFest Summary
To all our avid readers, no, we did not crash into the ocean or get abducted by aliens.
The wonderfully exhausting events of SummerFest left us scattered with little energy left to pack up the Tour. By late Monday afternoon we were loaded up and hitting the road, with a few scheduled maintenance stops.
But before we continue with our travel adventures, let us summarize the last few days events in Skydive Chicago...
The Discovery Channel came out to interview Tony for a new Adventure series! This one in particular focuses on the future of flight and will be airing sometime later this year.
Footage for the episode includes an awesome wingsuit dive.
The host, Baratundae (phonetically spelled, sorry) was very excited to have traveled out from L.A. and wanted to make a skydive himself. Unfortunately the Discovery channel wouldn't allow it on their time. Fortunately he did it on his own time. Check him out styling a sweet Tony Suit!
This is all the gear from the camera crew.
Check out our sweet teapot! (correction: kettle)
Not mentioned here is the $30,000+ camera behind it.
Here are some other people styling their awesome Tony Suits.

The Portable Windtunnel was up and flying:
For the record, here is the accomplished 25 Way Wingsuit World Record.
And, to end the boogie, here is another beautiful photo by Blake Johnson:
