dreamsville 0 #76 September 6, 2002 How often do you get a load to go to 20k? I'd do that once every week or two (since I wouldn't spend $36 on very jump)! It'd be cool to have the option. HarryI don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane. Harry, FB #4143 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoby 0 #84 September 6, 2002 QuoteQuote$4 for what? Probably an AN-2 or MI-4 to around 10-12K Hmmm...well, LAX to Uzbekistan on Aeroflot is $1359. At $15/jump savings, you'd break even on a 90 jump vacation (well, before other expenses). Any other countries with really cheap jumps (preferably one easier to get to)?

That would be a pretty worthwhile skydiving trip! But, yeah, there doesn't seem to be any cheap jumps outside of the former Soviet bloc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mujie96 0 #89 September 10, 2002 Yes, I'm reviving a topic that was beaten to death-is there anywhere in California that gives discounts if you buy a certain number of tickets in advance? Someone mentioned something about Lodi, but I'm kinda leaning towards Perris for an excursion back to the mainland. Otherwise, maybe to Eloy, I have friends in AZ.

kingbunky 3 #92 September 10, 2002 we pay $25 + GST ($28.75 CDN, ~$19 USD) for 10500 in our 182. gear rental is $10, which seems cheap from what i've seen mentioned elsewhere. add another $11 for jumpmaster/radio and $4 for a packjob and you get $50 plus tax for a student jump."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

meatmissile 0 #93 September 10, 2002 I've been giving this some thought again. Jumps should be free. The government should subsidise it or whatever. In fact, if elected, I would make it a law. It would make the world a better place. -- ZZZzzzz.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
