Hi
My name is Kellie Burns, I did my first tandem jump with Dave Luke yesterday at Hinton airfield and I just wanted to thank him for making the whole experience one I will never forget. From the moment I met
Dave he instantly put me ease, his easy going attitude, quite confidence and wealth of experience made me feel extremely safe. Even though I was his sixth jump of the day he made it feel like his first.
The buzz I got was immense and I am honestly still buzzing now. I'm planning another jump early next year so hopefully Dave may be my instructor again and I promise not to wiggle so much next time!
Thanks again

Dear Dave
A HUGE THANK YOU for a fantastic day on Wednesday. It was utterly
awesome and quite the most fantastic experience I have ever had. Thank
you so much for making it such a great day.
Your team were fabulous and Lin, Andy and I just had the most amazing
time.
I will definitely be back to take you up on your proposal of
some more training!
Many kind regards and a very Happy Christmas to you all

Hi Dave
Just a quick note to say thank you for the super day we had last Wednesday, I know everyone really enjoyed themselves, and a few, including myself, are planning to attempt another one and maybe taking the AFF course after that, you have us hooked :-)
Please can you also thank Mike Beedon for making me feel less nervous and for being such a laugh and Eamon for a fantastic DVD, the photos came out incredibly well too!
Again many thanks, and look forward to seeing you again soon

Hi Dave,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for a FAB adventure at Hibaldstow (11 Aug).
Everything, including the weather, worked out just great, I just
wanted to climb straight back into that little plane and do it all
over again,
I was buzzing for the rest of that day and talked about nothing but
the skydive for a few days at work.
Thanks to the instructors, Baldrick, for a memorable tutorial, and H
for keeping me alive, all very professional.
People still think I was completely mad to do it - after all I was
the one NOT wearing the parachute - and some cool people skydived in
New Zealand or Brazil,
but I was very happy with having the quaint Lincolnshire patchwork
countryside rushing at me at terminal velocity 120 mph.
Altogether the best white knuckle ride ever.
Thanks again,
Best wishes,

Hey dave!
Just wanted to say thank you for everything and all the help on Wednesday.
Both you and my jumping partner made me feel really safe, you talked through everything and I never once felt worried or confused. It was the most exhilarating and exciting thing I've ever done and it will be something I will remember for a very long time! I'm trying to persuade my dad to do it!
Your team were excellent in every way, and I would definitely recommend you to anyone else who is as mad as me!

Hello Dave,
Just a little message to say thank you, we both loved the experience of skydiving and hope to do another in the near future.
Sorry we had to dash off but i have got a really important exam next week in fiancé as I’am training as an accountant. But when the monies are coming in i hope this will, and can be my new hobbie...
Thanks again... Melanie & Peter x
Kind regards

Hi Dave,
Just a quick message to say a huge thank you for Sunday, we all had a fantastic day esp. Michael!!! He is still so stoked that he has watched his video thousands of times already and is saving for his next jump, (with you of course!)
Well it was just to say we really appreciated all the time and conversation you gave us even though you were really busy and really a huge thank you
Hope everything goes well and i guess we'll see you in the summer months when Michael has saved enough for his second jump!
All the best
Helen
Hi Dave,
Just an e mail to say thank you for Saturday. The whole day was well organised and you were excellent! The day was a success and im sure Gareth will be back soon!!
Thank you again
Becky Stedman
I am sure you must get lots of emails of thanks. But i just wanted to add to them. I was so frightened leading up to my jump yesterday, and you were so fantastic, made me feel much more at ease. And must admit, part of me now wants to do it again, just have to afford it first. So thank you very very much, never know, might see you in the near future.

Dave (and cameraman!!)
Just wanted to write and say a huge thankyou for getting me back on terra firma safely!!! After reflection, I thoroughly enjoyed my parachute jump on sunday and would recommend anyone to do it...at least once!!!
You are a great instructor and really made me feel at ease, thank you.
Those that have seen the video for some reason, keep calling me Roy Chubby Brown now, something about the sexy hat you made me wear apparently!
After counting up the sponsorship, including that from Millwall FC, I have raised over £1000 which is brilliant, so thank you and all at Hinton for a great day.
Good luck for your future jumps.
Love and best wishes
