Achievements & Congratulations

⭐️ Dylan – Completed AFF

Drop Zone Action

WooHoo another great week of jumping out of planes. The week started off with a few ongoing students continuing through their AFF courses. The 182 is back and in full swing taking jumpers for Hop ‘n’ Pops and to height (10K) when the caravan cannot be filled.

Funtastic Friday was on again, big shout out to Josh for organising these Friday’s and coaching fun jumpers along the way. The weekend started off beautiful on Saturday, however Sunday was a tad bit windy, so no loads took to the skies that day.

Peter started his First Jump Course, and our ongoing students were Celine with TAFF 2, David AFF Stage 4, Darren Stages 4-6, Andrew Stages 6-7, Angus Stages 6-8, Jack Stages 7-8, and Dylan did his Stages 7-9, completing his AFF Course. Congratulations to all!

Simon and Ilyes did refreshers, while Clint and Shakira worked on their B-Rels.

Welcome to the skies to our Tandem jumpers Heath, Meg, Lucy, Drew, and Shyne.

Need a jump buddy?

And if you have finished your training and you are looking for someone to jump with, let manifest know and they will put you in contact with our Load Energiser, who will either jump with you, or match you up with a jump buddy. No charge. All you pay for is your own jump slot.
