Blimp Jumps all Weekend April 1-2 at Cross Keys!

[FFAdventures 0]

In conjunction with the Navy Seals demo on Tuesday, we are privileged to have use of the Pittsburg Tribune Review airship for jumping all weekend! This red, white, and blue blimp, properly referred to as a "hot air airship" is the only thermal airship in the USA which is used for commercial advertising. It is fitted with a transponder to fly in controlled airspace and can be internally illuminated. It will arrive later this afternoon as the winds die down, and we are expecting a beautiful blimp-jumping day Sunday as well!

A few questions. What are the actual chances of being able to jump this blimp?

1. How many jumper will it hold?

2. What is the turnaround time for a blimp?

3. What is the price of a jump ticket?

Thank You

Update: We've been had! Those darn people at the Tribune were making the blimp available only on April Fool's Day! Once again skydiving and the media clash. Gosh - where will it end? It is beautiful here today, however! Hope to see you here...

What could possibly go wrong?
