PARACHUTE ASSOCIATION'S ROBERT ARENDS ON THE 2008 SKYDIVING
CHAMPIONSHIPS We've found another huge aviation-related event
to put on your calendar right beside the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and

Association National Skydiving Championships, held October 18-25 at

AVweb's Mike Blakeney that that the event promises several days
of great family fun out west.
