An Evening with Dale Elliot

Ivan Peters | June 29, 2009

Dale Elliot is a Commercial Pilot, an aircraft engineer, a skydiver, motivational speaker, a comedian and a paraplegic.

The guys at NZ Aerosports and Deepseed met Dale at the APF conference in May, where he was a guest speaker, and were blown away by his story. So much so that they’ve brought him over to do his stuff here!

Dale Elliott

Come and listen to Dale’s amazing story at NZ Aerosports (46A Sussex Street Grey Lynn) this Wednesday, 1st of July from 6pm.

The beer fridge will be full, so come and hang out with Dale and catch up with some mates.

Check out http://www.daleelliott.com/Home.html to find out more about Dale.

Hope to see you all there.

If you can’t make it on Wednesday, Deepseed is hosting an evening in Taupo on Thursday 2nd July. Contact Liam [at] deepseed.com for details.

Half price tickets this Saturday

Ivan Peters | June 19, 2009

Yes, you heard right. Altitude tickets will be just $25 at Whenuapai this Saturday (June 20th).

Up until this point, you lot have not been turning up at the DZ. Or you’ve turned up, done 1 jump and gone again. We need to train a new pilot and, to do that we need a bunch of altitude loads all on the same day. So, in order to get Vicky trained, and hopefully kick start a bit of enthusiasm, ASI is providing the plane at a bargan basement price for one day only.

I know it’s short notice, but it is half price slots! So dust off those rigs (and thermals) and get yourselves out to Whenuapai nice and early for a 9am wheels up tomorrow.

We are hoping to organise a BBQ and coaches of various kinds as well – more details of that will be here as we work it out.

See you in the morning.
