    cool A380 photo

    Sorry Guys, but this is a real picture. It is one of the flight test aircraft, however is was in full Emirates livery and shown off during the Dubai Arishow on 25 November. Have a look at this cool picture during the last day of the show, where it was flying information with the french Aerobatics team "la Patrouille de France".
  2. Just out of AFF (done at Nethers) and never having jumped anywhere else I can't provide a comparative review. What I can say is that the AFF course is run with an extremely high level professionalism, leaving you in no doubt whatsoever that you are in good hands. Having jumped with most (if not all) of the AFF instructors there, I can safely say that they are each as professional as the next. From a students perspective, that's hugely confidence building.....something I was definitely in need of prior to my first few jumps! The bar's great, people are friendly and the facilities are adequate (after all it's the jumping you're going there for). On the negative sides, I'd have to be really picky to find much worth mentioning. Reading through some of the other posts, it seems as though getting through the guard house is of great concern to some....personally I'd compare it (effort wise) to having to go and get a pay and display ticket in a car park..... not exactly a real problem! I'd certainly recommend jumping at Nethers (unless the 60 second delay signing in at the Guard House is too much for you!)..
