There are a fair few of Tandems in this week, so come on down and keep the aircraft up in the sky. (Weather permitting)

Our Cessna Caravan, G-OHPC, is away for its overhaul and should be back early July, so we have a King Air at our disposal this weekend. Its climb rate is about 10 mins to 12000 feet and holds 12 skydivers.

 

Summer is well under way. We have kept very busy this year, having jumped a record breaking number of Tandems. You will see above, the bookings for Tandems, for the coming week. We are still well booked midweek through June, so weather permitting the Cessna should be used for every lift. The more skydivers turn up, the more we use  it.
