Pete1 0 #1 January 24, 2006 Anyone knows where acivilian can go through halo/ haho course? Any info on this would be very appreciated. Thanx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites billvon 2,998 #2 January 24, 2006 >Anyone knows where acivilian can go through hilo hiho course? If you are referring to HALO/HAHO jumping: 1. Many militaries consider exiting at 13,000 and deploying at 2500 to be a HALO jump - so you may already be doing it. 2. If you are referring to a 30,000 foot jump, at least one outfit (Incredible Adventures) does these pretty regularly. I jumped with them last year at Rantoul. You need bailout O2 and you'll need to prebreathe for about 30 minutes. I think they are located in Florida; their number is 800 644-7382 3. If you are referring to the military HALO course, can't help you there.
