Professor 0 #26 January 11, 2007 QuoteAs far as I know at this time (January), I am the only one of the Texas BoyZ that has interest in participating across the pond. I think it is a novel opportunity to meet some Euro-Flyers I see posting here a lot. Actually, I think we're all interested in it, but the "bang for the buck" just doesn't seem high enough.

mccordia 74 #27 January 11, 2007 We'd be more then eager to fly with you guys! And 'bang for your buck' There's several boogies to visit during those weeks, and a chance to be in the biggest formations ever...not enough bang for your buck?JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete?

JohanW 0 #28 January 11, 2007 In fairness, they do have more travel expenses, suffer from adverse exchange rates, and they're used to lower jump prices than we are. Still, it's a very nice boogie folks!Johan. I am. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Costyn 1 #29 January 11, 2007 QuoteIn fairness, they do have more travel expenses, suffer from adverse exchange rates, and they're used to lower jump prices than we are. Still, it's a very nice boogie folks! Indeed... considering you pay $60 US in Perris to jump out of their jet, and in Cochstedt you get to jump out of a bigger jet, with a bigger door (3 wingsuiters abreast can exit at once), and it only costs 27 Euros. The DZ is the airport, which is frikkin' huge. It's an unbelievable experience. Like I say to many people, if you are only going to go to one boogie in 2007, make it the Cochstedt AN-72 boogie.Costyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #32 January 19, 2007 Latest update from Condor Airlines: I am waiting for a clarification on a few things but as of right now it looks like the round trip fare from Orlando to Frankfurt, Frankfurt to Berlin will cost approx. $1166.00USD(taxes included). Just doing a quick search I was able to find fares about $65-75 cheaper but they were all 5am type flights which would require you to travel the day prior on a red eye to make it in time for the International flight. What I need now is for people who are seriously interested in doing this to either e-mail or PM me so I can begin compiling a list of names. Once Condor gets back to me I will have a better idea about what time the flight departs the USA and other flight info. For planning purposes,the date of departure used is July 1st with a return on 9July for approx 30 people. I need all interested parties to contact me no later than 26 Jan. Also be prepared to pay for your flight through Condor once I have the compiled list done. If not enough people contact me, the rate above may change in which case it might not be economical to go this route. I will post further information as I receive it."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I would say the most comprehensive source of information on the AN72 boogie is the FAQ that Scott posted a couple days ago: AN-72 boogie FAQCostyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #41 January 24, 2007 For those who have already e-mailed me and those still waiting. I have some updated info on the travel. Due to Condors flight schedule and the boogie dates, the departure date has to be moved to June 29th with the same return date of 9 July. This will give you an extra few days to adjust to the time change before the boogie starts. It also means a couple dollars less in the price. The adjusted price ,including taxes comes to $1161.00 USD. Travel times are as follows: Departure on 29 june from Orlando is 3:55pm arrive in Frakfurt 07:00am(nextday) Frankfurt to Berlin depart 9:05am arrive in Ber 10:10am (30 June) Departure from Berlin on Jul 09th 06:10am arrive in Frankfurt 7:15am Frankfurt to Orlando depart 10:00am arrive in Orlando 2:25pm same day. In order to secure the stated price, I will need those who are going to make payment in the next day as the airline has told me the prices will be going up in a few days. If you have any questions please e-mail or PM me."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
