Triple 7 2023!
Folks, here at Adventures of Cap’n Aux, you know I love a good adventure, and love a good cause.
Here’s an amazing story of both!
But First,
Happy 2023!!!
May all your dreams, aviation and otherwise, come true in 2023!
And Now,
Triple 7 2023!
This month—as we speak—former military veterans are traversing the world for a noble cause. Their goal: Raise 7 million dollars in scholarships for “Gold Star Families.”
That is, for the children of fallen veterans, and fallen first responders.
How?
By attempting a world-record breaking adventure!
Indeed, they plan on skydiving:
- 7 Times, on
- 7 Continents, in
- 7 Days, to raise
- $7 Million dollars!
Our Heroes estimate that this $7m will be enough to fund 1,400 scholarships for Folds of Honor (https://foldsofhonor.org).
Folds of Honor is an excellent, noble organization, which provides scholarships and other services to the children of fallen servicemen, and other First Responders.
Fully 100% of all donations to Triple7 Team will go directly to Folds of Honor!
Here’s a great video explaining their adventure!
While I already donate monthly to Folds of Honor, this excellent adventure inspired me to donate further, via the Triple 7 link.

Hemisphere Dancing Report
Not much to report from my end lately, as I spent the holiday season in Recurrent training, or just sluffing off at home!
However, Bunny happened to catch this way cool shot of her fellow crew members on the way to work.
Enjoy!
