Riggers in or near NYC?

[whiterabbit 0]

This question has been asked before (according to a forum search I just did), but not since 2004, so I thought I'd check to see if the situation had changed.

Are there any riggers in or near New York City? I'm in need of a reserve repack for an upcoming trip out-of-state, and my rigger lives near my "home" dz -- which is 2.5 hours out of the city. Getting a repack done on short notice would involve at least two trips to his house, for a total of (at minimum) 10 hours of driving.

another possibility is to arrange a fast turnaround repack at your destination...

Might try contacting Atair Aerospace, which is located in brooklyn. Dunno if anyone there does reserve repacks, but they've got some very experienced riggers that work there and probably live in the area.

Seven riggers (three full time, plus at least four jumpers with Senior Rigger tickets) at the US Military Academy at West Point, some of them do extra work on the side. You can call the loft there at 845-938-4314

I live in the 50's right on the Hudson - so, assuming I leave at 6:30am on a Sat: My apt to the bridge: 6 or so mins. Bridge to Palisades to 87 - 18-20 mins... 30 mins on 87... OK, maybe 1:15/1:20... You can never tell with the lights off exit 17. Once you're passed the town, though, it's clear flying to 44/55.

Of course, the Plattekill cops don't like it too much (or they love it, depending on the price of the fine...)
