Nice!

I like to find names of the jumpers in the 5-plane. Is there anyone who knows?

Hi Tony

Great footage. I've been living over here in Korea for 6.5 years. My wife still vividly remembers the opening ceremony!

In S. Korea, civil aviation is very, very limited. Mostly corporate helicopters. However, there are several ultralight airfields scattered around the country. After 20 years since the video, the #1 jumper in the country has about 6000 or so jumps and it's because he's special forces (maybe retired by now).

There's only one DZ in the country and the costs, to put it nicely, are prohibitive. $100 per jump from a leased helicopter. $100 annual dues and, for me, a 5 hour drive equals another $100 in gas round trip. If you take a bus, the travel time can get as high as 8 hours depending on connecting buses.

At last word, the DZ is still seasonal. Around April to September and only every other Sunday and only for 4 hours!

My rig has been gathering dust for 6 years. I've calculated that it's cheaper to take the hydrofoil to Japan and jump than it is to watch it rain on Sunday in Korea.

Anybody got an update? My info about the DZ is 4 years old.
