I'd love to do that. Got close with the ACF and did all of the training with Red Devils back in the late 80's at Aldershot.

Did a tandem years ago, then did AFF level 1, so have done 1 freefall where I had to release the 'chute myself. Quite awesome. I was going to progress, but the place I jumped at was quite away from where I live and with you needing good weather the bike won my time.

yeah thats why I was thinking spain you tend to be able to finish the course in a week.... once you got you license you can just rock up on a good day almost anywhere and just pay... :icon_thumright:

Hello GRNINJA,well its like this for me got the T-shirt and all


got my D licnce No 8926
498 jumps
jumped from the C 130........AN antaov.......Porter........Turbine BN islander...reg no GO RED.....that the one the red devils have as they own plane.......... cessena 185........skyvan.........R22 heli........BELL jet ranger..........HOT air balloon............


most jumps just for fun, but did do a comp once and came third,not to bad ............then spent four years doing Display jumping with a team called TEAM EXIT,most of are jumps were from helis or hot air balloon...........this is the part of your skydiving , when some one gives you something back,cus its not easy get good jumps in the UK because of the FOOKing bad weather


i will scan some of my old pics over the week end and post em up.............

Thanks :hello2:.................(well in the words of HORSE and KEIRON..........that gota be worth some bhp)


no ,look if you want i still noo some real sky gods that are still active, plus ive jumped all up and down the country

if you need help getting started just pm me,,there is a good DZ in Nottingham call Langer, or its full name is British parachute schools........this place is tops mainly because its open 7 days a week including xmas day....(nothing beats jumping from 10,000 on xmas day espesial when its -10 at altiude,,,then landing and having a hot toddie.............

Headcorn is another down south,, and a realy cool place to hang out is peterbrough,,,,

but hay come up North and we can spoilyea with the Black Knights Para centre,,this is my local DZ they now have a full tarmac runway and a full time porter plane,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


just to show the differance a cessna 185 with 5 jumpers on board will take 45 mins to 10,000 feet
but a porter with 9 jumpers on board will take just 15 mins to get to 13,000 and will fly passed you in free fall and be on the ground with another load on ready for take off just as you land........................ :headbang:
