The cheapest jump tickets?

Recommended Posts

Quote

my DZ might not be the cheapest, but we do pretty well. We were $14 for 10,000' until a few weeks ago, but now we're $15.



Do you know what the price of avgas is in your area? My dropzone used to be 16 dollars for 10,000 feet, then they went to 17 dollars, then when fuel prices spiked in September 05 they went to 20 :o.

I know the price of avgas in that area has since come down to about 3.60 a gallon but the jumps are still 20 dollars. >:(

I pretty much don't care about lift tickets because it's my
choice to skydive. DZO's profit on a fun jumper is approx
$2 maybe $3 per jump. Most medium DZ's are not rich.
It's a passion for the sport. But as time goes on with increased fuel cost and Insurance, I would guess that it
will become a sport for the wealthy. The system is making it difficult, the DZO's are jusy trying to stay ahead.

maybe thats why base is so popular???
