High Altitude Jumps?

Recommended Posts

There really arent too many impurities, but a lot of moisture.

Now if it was something like PCBs I wouldnt touch it, but Ive used industrial grade for many junmps, and havent had a problem with it.

I'd be more concerned about too much moisture, but in the warm aircraft, freezing is unlikely.

Your local Air Force Base can help with chamber rides, so you can identify your hyposia symptoms, and can evaluate your high altitude attitudes in a controled enviroment.



Can civvies do this?



USPA info is in here:

They have a typo in that doc. The URL should be:

I don't know if it was normal, but my guys and I were doing 3-way from 21k in Eloy and found it much harder to move fast between points than normal at the top end - less air pressure?

Also we were not able to whistle in the plane above about 17k...! Just out of curiosity! :S;)
