DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- Eight members from Dobbins Air Reserve Base embarked on a zip line adventure in historic Banning Mills, GA as part of the Single Airman Initiative May 19.
Situated in the scenic hills of west Georgia, participants zipped through the fresh air hovering over Snake Creek on the world's largest zip line canopy tour, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Participants encountered high speed thrills through three levels of zip lines that included the forest and new woodland canopy tour, the flight line pattern tour and the flight pattern plus, of which speeds topped more than 50 miles per hour and lengths of 1500 feet.
"Single Airmen who did not participate missed out on a fun-filled day of zip lining," said Missy Bozeman, 94th Force Support Squadron event coordinator. "The feedback was great, and we've had many requests to plan more events."
Initiated here April 2012, the SAI began as an Air Force Headquarters project implemented to foster a strong culture and sense of community through fun, free activities for single Airmen.
Bozeman said she is in the process of planning more events in the future as the program continues to develop.
The next upcoming SAI event, Painting with a Twist, is scheduled to take place June 15 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Lakeside Lounge.
Single Airmen interested in participating may sign-up for the free events by visiting the Dobbins Force Support Squadron homepage at http://dobbinsarbservices.com or calling the Outdoor Recreation Center at (678) 655-4594. Participant slots are filled on a first come, first served basis.
