good jumpzone in US with cheap package for 100 jumps? (and loads during week)
Can't Post
just wondering if I were to focus on getting a hundred or so jumps up in one hit (take time off) where would be the best (or a good place) to go in the US to get:
- cheapest package for 100 jumps (main requirement)
I guess it would be nice at the same time that aspects of the DZ included:
- 13500' or great jumping - busy enough to have loads going up during the week - ideally larger planes than a Cessna 182 to jump from (but else the 182 is ok if necessary) - doesn't have a history of getting easily weathered out
I'm having a look at http://www.jumpticketprices.com/ at the moment, which is good, but it doesn't really cover off some of the things I noted above, so thought someone who jumps a lot around the US might have some good tips.

What that guy said. I just moved to Asia from the States and tired of just doing H&P's from a 172 that costs $49.
I'm going to Lodi hoping to do 100 jumps in 2ish weeks leaving in 2 days. $1,300 for 100 jumps or $650 for 50 jumps can't beat that. They've also got 3 or 4 different planes
15ish loads during the weekdays and around 40ish on the weekends from what I've been told.

Was that for me or the OP? Either way I agree with your statement informed decisions are always better. I knew about the "things" before I planned my trip and well aware of the situation. I still reckon that it's better than the plane I've been jumping out of here in asia lol

Two potentially deadly situations, one is cheaper, so it is OK?
Odd.
I wouldn't go that way, but eh, money isn't my reasoning.

I jump there and your chances of killing yourself are way higher than dieing in an ac accident.
Haven't seen an AC fall outta the sky yet (unlike some OTHER places)
