sky301 0 #1 November 26, 2006 Hello All, Anyone on this forum been to the Philippines and done any jumping, particularly @ Tropical Asia Parachute Center? Address: Omini Aviation, Clark special Econimic Zone Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines, 2009 Philippines there are a few reviews in the dropzones section of this site, but I wanted to solicite some more feedback before I give them a call to even see if they're operating....anyways I'll be over there visiting in (Pasig) Manila mid Dec to early Jan, just looking for info on travelling to and fro the DZ, cost, comments etc. Blue Ones, Mike CJust Go with it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
des 2 #2 November 26, 2006 i called in there last year, it is only a small dz , but very friendly, definately worth calling in there. angeles is a fun place, and only about 3 hrs from manila,(depending on traffic). there is a bus that goes there 2 or 3 times a day, from the swagman hotel in ermita, the cost is 750 pesos(about us$15) beer is available on the bus.or u could get a pvte car to take u there for about 2500 peso.there are plenty of good cheap hotels in angeles and a trike to the dz ,at clark airbase will cost only a few peso, but u might have to get a cab, cos i dont think they let the trikes enter the base. might see u there,i am planning to be there in jan.

sky301 0 #3 November 27, 2006 thanks for the info Des, should be a pretty cool adventure I hope there's enough jumpers around to get some jumpin' in, I'm meeting up with Tara so at least we'll show up with 2 jumpers ready to go, so it might be worth while hiring a prvt car to shuttle us from Manila.....maybe we will see you, just ask if the Canadians have been there eh!

des 2 #5 December 2, 2006 hi again, yes , i think they are pretty much weekend only. i dont know the cost of a lift, but nothing in pi is expensive. there is also a dz on cebu ,but i dont know their contact details. there are plenty of good dz's in northern territory,(darwin), and queensland, but it is a 7hr flight to brisbane, and u would have to take a roundabout route to darwin , or cairns,i.e thru guam, singapore, or port moresby. sorry i cant help u more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sky301 0 #6 December 3, 2006 Looks like they may have closed, I received an email reply from someone at the ville....I guess I'll just keep looking for someplace.... "Unfortunately I believe the parachute club has closed down. I have forwarded your email to the guy that ran TACP. He may have so alternate places you can jump, but I believe they are not jumping at Clark on any routine basis anymore. JC"Just Go with it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
