To date tandem landings have been limited to 12.350ft MSL. As we go to the higher DZs, 15,000ft, 16,900ft and 17192ft MSL, those have been sport (solo) landings so far."

We've landed Navigator 280s at 17192ft MSL down to Spectre 170s at 12, 350ft MSL.Namaste, Tom Noonan www.everest-skydive.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
