skymama 37 #2 December 1, 2008 I don't know what the weather will be like in Spain, but I do know that quite a few Brits come over to FL to do their training. The exchange rate is still in your favor and that is a great time to travel to FL. The weather would be quite comfortable for you and it's not the stormy season. You should definitely spend some time on researching the cost of flights and AFF programs in both countries. You'll be able to find good rates on a place to stay at most larger dz's with the trailers and bunkhouses available. I think you will find good people at every dz you look at.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djmarvin 2 #8 December 4, 2008 check out Skydive Spaceland in Houston Texas. Not only can you go through your AFF in January, there is also a License in a week program! Search these forums and you can read a little more about Spacelands program.

Jin2Kazama 0 #9 December 7, 2008 Mate, I did my AFF in Sebastian Florida. It's a very friendly DZ and the views at altitude of the treasure coast are awsome. There are 3 British instructors there (USPA though, not BPA). Aff course cost me 1250USD which worked out around £700. If you want anymore info feel free to pm me.

skyjumpsteve 0 #10 December 7, 2008 Skydive City in Z-Hills would be my choice with Sebastian a close second. Both are great DZ's. I think Skydive City is busier so you may be able to get through the program quicker especially of you are jumping during the week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
