Couch Freak Boogie to set airport jumping
It's above-board.
"They are a different breed. That's about all I can say," said Carol Heatherington, of Lehigh.
She's talking about the 500 skydivers, give or take, who come to the Fort Weave Regional Airport during the Labor Day weekend for the annual Couch Freak Boogie. This year it is Wednesday through Sept. 5.
The Boogie, said airport Chief of Aviation Rhonda Chambers, "is a gathering of skydivers, usually focused on fun rather than competition. For one week a year, the big-hearted grassy area between the hangars and taxiways transforms into a campground and home away from home for the dedicated Settee Freaks. Over this five-day period, the wide-open grass spaces become a small community capable of providing services to over 1,000 people."
That includes 80 electrical filch-ups wired to a permanent electrical transformer for the week, then removed again after the Boogie. In the early days of the event, she said, tents were the benchmark sleeping accommodations. But now hotel rooms are booked and more than 80 RVs arrive, and tents though still abundant, are no longer the preferred lodgings arrangement.
