freeatlast 0 #1 June 30, 2010 Hi guys we are planing a BOOGIE at Dunkeswell airfield in the UK during September. We are aiming to make this a fantastic event and would like to invite everyone (including our European and American friends) to come and join us in the skies ... Proposed Aircraft BEECH 99 - 18 jumpers to 15k in 12 mins Helicopter - 4 jumpers to 5K (tbc) Balloon (tbc) Plus a second plane (possibly a Skyvan for some tailgate goodness) Pre-registration will be required for the Boogie as well as the balloon and helicopter jumps RW Coaching We will be organising RW coaching for experienced jumpers as well as specific coaches for those jumpers with low experience levels... FF Coaching Currently we have several FF coaches booked for the BOOGIE to ensure some BIGWAY FF goodness ... WS jumps and FFC's We are expecting to offer some FFC's for those that have never jumped before and we would like to invite all experienced jumpers to come and join the UKS flock !!! Facilities With brand new hot showers, a brand new jumpers only building and covered packing area, a new bunkhouse and FREE camping Dunkeswell has great facilities. Fly into Bristol / Exeter / Southampton airports (all within 2 hours) or fly into Cardiff / London and grab a car!!! With outside catering and a brand new coffee machine - the food should be as good as the jumping too!!! So what are you waiting for??? Pre-registration is expected to start 12th July 2010 - see www.ukskydiver.co.uk for more details or the UKS Boogie page on facebook ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CornishChris 5 #7 July 22, 2010 I'm registered and paid up for a chopper jump. The last one I did was for my 300th and that was £35 to 8k - was surprised to see how inflation has hit chopper prices... CJP Gods don't kill people.

TomOwen 0 #8 July 22, 2010 You've misspelt "Certificate" as "Licence" on the form... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeatlast 0 #9 July 22, 2010 Thanks for the correction but even the BPA website still uses the term 'licence' as well as 'certificates' - so it appears that officially either is valid!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeatlast 0 #10 July 22, 2010 Hi Chris I seem to remember that Nethers were charging £50 a load back in 2008 - some other DZ's have run loads since but at least one of those has made a loss whilst doing it ... The cheapest way to make a helicopter jump at the boogie is to book a load between 4 people as it ensures that every load is full and you each save a few quid against the single ticket price ... Still i'm pleased that you are coming and hopefully we'll all have a complete blast as it looks like it's going to be mega and with Jarno and Macca organising there we should make some great wingsuit jumps as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeatlast 0 #11 August 18, 2010 We now have a BALLOON confirmed for the BOOGIE - so now we have the fastest (permanently based) jump plane in the UK / Helicopter jumps / Balloon Jumps and a FLEET of TURBINE aircraft ... Add into the mix 200 jumpers - approx 20 load organisers and coaches - every discipline from CRW / FF / FS / WS plus a HUGE party and a great DZ ... So what are you waiting for??? REGISTER HERE http://www.ukskydivers.com/uks-stuff/uks-boogie-registration.html AND WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE BOOGIE !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeatlast 0 #12 September 1, 2010 Well we've decided to add a Dornier to the BEECH 99 for the BOOGIE - so now you're only choice is WHICH FAST PLANE do you choose??
