Be prepared to dish out some cash though... it's pretty damn expensive. I never jumped there, as I didn't feel like taking a train for 3-4 hours to a DZ, but I was there for a year and I know the DZ's are expensive, and far and few between.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kd5xb 1 #4 October 28, 2009 I was on Okinawa in 1980, while in the Marines. We used to "frag" the duty helicopter on Saturdays and jump up in the NTA. It worked out really well. We even got a big group together and flew all the way to Misawa to jump in their annual air show. (How about that -- I jumped in a demo when I only had about 45 jumps total!) But to do this, you need to have someone with some rank jumping with you -- a few E3's or E4's won't get very far. Never knew of any civilian DZ's while there, I sure hope that's changed.I'm a jumper. Even though I don't always have money for jumps, and may not ever own a rig again, I'll always be a jumper.
