Emu 0 #1 May 31, 2014 We're in Belgium to use to AirSpace tunnel and just seeing where out best options would be to head to for jumping during the week. We are a 3-way team looking to jump as much as possible. If there a 182 dz around that would run fun jumpers? I've searched all the DZ's on the database here and Spa looks like the biggest, but not sure about week day jumping? All appear to be between 100 and 130km from the tunnel so not fussed about driving every day. Also, where is the best place to head on the weekend to get as many jumps as possible?

Here are the links: http://www.paraclubhoevenen.net/ http://www.pcv.be/ http://www.paraclubnamur.com/ these 3 dz are less than 1 hour from Brussels. Welcome to Belgium ....

Deimian 43 #3 May 31, 2014 Skydive Spa opens every day of the week now, except Tuesday. They have a Supervan and a Caravan, so when there is lots of people they are able to put quite a few loads per day. Cerfontaine is closer, like 30 km or so. It is from the same owners as Spa, but smaller. They have a Caravan. Being in Charleroi I think these two are your best options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emu 0 #6 May 31, 2014 Thanks everyone. Any ideas on how many slots the soloy 206 needs to fly? May be worth just covering another slot if it will fly with 4? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
