mxaexm 0 #1 April 27, 2009 I'm interested in becoming a parachute rigger and I'm looking for somebody who would like to teach me. I'm from Chicago area and I'm willing to drive. If there is anybody in northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin willing me to teach. please let me know. Thanks to all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
councilman24 36 #2 April 27, 2009 Skydive Chicago in Ottowa, Ill. runs a 10 day (app.) rigging course. http://www.para-concepts.com/ Coming up in May. There are others around the country too. Some longer. Apprenticing with a rigger may very well (should) take much longer than that. Especially if they are not a full time rigger and have to do it after work. It may very well take several months. (mine took 3 years but I wasn't in a hurry) I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
