cop 0 #1 August 9, 2003 Yesterday at 7.00am (lt) 18 skydivers started from EFHF (Malmi airport) and used Twin Otter of Parachuting Club of Finland. Actual plan was 11 jumped dropzones in one day (last year we did 10) and so we did it in following order; EFKY; Kymi EFSE; Selänpää EFUT; Utti EFLP; Lappeenranta (1reserve ride but we got 2 rigs as reserve) EFIM; Immola EFSA; Savonlinna EFVR; Varkaus EFMI; Mikkeli EFLA; Vesivehmaa EFHY; Hyvinkää EFHF; Malmi (homedz) This all took 11 hours and all 18 did it. Four of us did not get enough so when Otter started from Malmi to Hanko airport for jumping camp we were in it and jumped one more time so four of us got 12 dropzones in 14 hours. Is it 13 jumped dropzones next year? No, 13 means bad luck so I think we will try 14... If someone have same kind of tours, please let us know...

cop 0 #7 August 9, 2003 The price was something about 200+ euros per person. But hey, if you have fun it does not matter what it costs... I can be few weeks at diet for that... "You can call me Mike" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cop 0 #11 August 10, 2003 About half of those was hop and pops because of the weather (btw, reserve ride was one of those) but other half was something between 5000-7000ft. After three dropzones it looked that we must go back and forget rest of the airports but... One of us was "master of the cypres&altimeter" and before take off he told everybody how to adjust their gear for the next dz "You can call me Mike" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tobi778 0 #13 September 15, 2003 Last Wednesday (9/10) four jumpers from Vaasa in Finland beat the record by jumping 18 dropzones in one day! I'm sorry I dont remember the ICAO codes for the fields. #1 Kruunupyy #2 Kannus #3 Kalajoki #4 Ylivieska #5 Haapavesi #6 Kärsämäki #7 Kiuruvesi #8 Pyhäsalmi #9 Pihtipudas #10 Kivijärvi #11 Sulkaharju #12 Kauhava #13 Menkijärvi #14 Alavus #15 Seinäjoki #16 Nummijärvi #17 Kauhajoki #18 Vaasa (Home Dropzone) The jumpplane used was the Cessna 182 of our club OH-CWE. The flight time was 5h 43min and the jumpers spent over 6h packing! Quite an achievement IMHO Congratulations! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,445 #14 September 15, 2003 Congrats . We'll wait for word of of 10 in the winter -- now that would be impressive (well, 20 is impressive, too) Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
