Moscow Tunnels & Visa

[base698 20]

I have a lay over in Moscow over the summer, so figured I could look into getting a visa and flying in the tunnel in lieu of waiting. Anyone have any info on where to start looking?

Cheers

http://www.realfly.ru/eng/ - imo the best one. It is a Skyventure franchise, it's currently not working due to technical issues, but check it, may be it'll be open soon. Outside of the city.

http://letarium.ru/en/index.html - the smallest and the cheapest one and the most busy though. 10-15 minutes walk from underground station. Very good for FF static training.

http://aerotruba.ru/en/- I've never been there. Bedford franchise, good quality, outside of the city.

Not technical, but organizational/legal

H-mm franchise? Really?

So Letaruim - IMHO the best bet (if Freezone don't start work at the time) if you consider only Moskow and don't need of space during flying)

P/S Saint-Petersburg not too far from Moskow btw;)

Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly?

Sorry, my bad. It is the same project, but not a franchise.

Aerotruba is pretty weak. Especially in the summer.
If you are big guy, forget headdown and fast headup.

If you stuck ultimately in Moscow, Letarium probably will be place to go.
Otherwise, Flystation in Saint-Petrersburg offers lower rates and great 14-feet ISG tunnel with English-speaking coaches for all levels from belly to 4DW.

Do they sponsor you for visa? Do you have any contact info for the flystation people?

Me or NWPaul are said contacts - we both are Flystation' instructors.
I regulary organize camps, just finished one with skydivers from Benilux countries and some more are on the way for Brazil, Chilie and Singapore.

You could PM me or find me on a Facebook, I will be happy to assist you. Let's not flood the tread :)
