Just for curiousity, how big is the AN-72 compared to a DC-9? Bigger or smaller? How fast is jump run? About the same? Thanks.



Bigger. You can easily get 70+ people on the AN-72. You can see pictures from the last boogie HERE. Jump run is about 120-130 knots, all out of the tailgate. It is a very smooth exit and takes roughly 8-10 mins to get to 16.5.

Just a reminder for everyone as this event grows nearer. Make sure your USPA/BPA/Ect membership and reserve are all in date for the duration of the boogie. If you are participating in the wingsuit event be sure you send Rolf an E-mail with your name, country and registration number(if applicable) once you are registered. [email protected]

From Rolf B

39 days to go, all systems are running :))

Hi BIRDS, Cochstedt-news: everybody who likes to have a reservation in one of the Hotels around, please check immediately and individually www.md.skydive.de (english site), you will find the Hotel-addresses and contacts you need! I called these guys today and learned that there is "still plenty of room" (Mrs Biermann, 18.June). Again: the organization didn't make any reservations so far!!

Concerning the PreCourse: the little powerful sister of the AN72, the AN28 (nicknamed ANABOLIKA and also a Tailgate!) will be in Cochstedt already 26/27.July, and we will use this plane for to practice all kind of BIRD-exits! Float, dive, Gainer... all exits video-documented! The whole PreCourse is for free, you only have to cover your slots!! 20 seats, 9min up to incredible altitude. My helpers and I are waiting for you! (And, yes: this plane can also fly formation with the "BIG ONE", later this week, and 70+20 is about 90, am I right? :))


What else: we will bring some TENGU and S8 for to look at! Wait'n'see! And eventually we will be able to demo some (PD-)factory-new STORM 7-cell mains!!
