They also attend the WFFC where up jumpers can go to 30k on their own for $300.00 I believe."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was definitely worth the $350. >And is there any bases that allow you to ride in a Jet? We flew to Rantoul this year on Ben's DC-9. Probably not what you were looking for (not military) but still a lot more fun than a commercial flight. There's also an L-39 that flies into Perris pretty regularly; that's a military trainer that's pretty popular nowadays. I'm not sure how you would get in touch with them though. They're not based at the DZ - they just like the restaraunt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 14 #10 November 21, 2005 If you want an L-39 ride every year at WFFC Kirlin has one of his out there for rides. I forget the price but everyone that pays it says it worth it.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsampson 0 #12 November 21, 2005 There's also a guy who flies an L-39 into Z-Hills pretty regularly. I got a ride as a birthday gift from my husband. It was awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
