How much are jump tickets for the regular aircraft? How about the specialty aircraft? Same prices for cash or CC?



Not sure about the Sky Van, AN2 and other specialty aircraft, but the Otter and Caravan are $20.00 to altitude (usually 13,500 to 14,000 depending on conditions).

No credit card fees as Spaceland either! Cash and credit are the same.

I think that's the "package" price. I just called the DZ and jumps are $23 to altitude out of the standard aircraft.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I can't find any pricing info, either on the Spaceland web site, or on the Skyfest web site.

I would like to know:
- The cost of jumping each of the specialty aircraft.
- Cost of registration (boogie fee).
- Is there a one-day Saturday-only boogie fee?

Someone in charge, please post.

We'll get the docking figured out tomorrow, I'm picking Gonzo up at IAH and running him down. See ya then! :ph34r:



I would offer to pick him up, but I think he's coming in earlier than I can be there (if he's not already here)... Lemme know if you need to scoot, and I can work something out...

how far of a ride is it from spaceland to Schlitterbahn? .

__________________________________________________

I live in Canyon Lake (25 minutes from Schlitterbahn) and it takes me about 3 hours just to get to Houston.

Schlitterbahn is really not worth it. You spend half the day just standing in line.

Two years ago while Skyfest was happening, I was sitting in my groundschool class, and couldn't wait to be at Skyfest the following year. Not only was I there the following year, but I got my SCR and met some wonderful people (including dz.commers:P). This year I will actually be COOL because my gear will match!

Oh, and I'll be jumping my beautiful new gear for the FIRST time!!! LET THE PARTAY BEGIN!!:)

23 for regular AC, $46 for AN2, not sure on the Heli yet.
Steve has that info.



Well, the boogie is here. Steve needs to post it online so we can plan our finances, or plan our jumps to fit our means.

Boogie fee is $40 on Saturday, or $15 on Sunday. There is no one-day fee for Saturday only.

So for me to come down Saturday just to jump the Antonov-2 is going to cost me $86. Blech!
