brucet7 0 #4 July 3, 2008 Quoteyeah he was an awesome guy. im gonna try and see if i can have him as the instructor when i take the aff classes. i cant wait.Of course I don't know the TI of which you speak and he may be the best instructor in Alabama, but I had several different instructors through my AFF and I found that each had their strengths, and their focus areas. I benefited greatly from have three different people teach me. Just food for thought and my $.02.POPS #10623; SOS #1672 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danny2485 0 #7 July 3, 2008 thats awesome. how much is average aff. here at skydive spacecenter its $1390. im going on vacation to las vegas end of july so if i do good that will help me get started on my classes. im only 23 and dont make a lot of money so its gonna take more time to take my classes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreaming13000 1 #8 July 3, 2008 $1390 is about average( 1200-1500), it does depend on where you live but the AFF is pricey compared to other alternatives. I waited until I got my tax return and paid for my AFF up front, that got me a slightly lower price altogether and then there is the whole other "second job" thing but ultimately it is worth it every time you fly right!?! blue skies, jess "A man only gets in life what he is believing for, nothing more and nothing less" Kenneth Hagen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
