Perris and the jet

[imfromwales 0]

Does anybody know if the jet is being jumped at perris?

Also, how much are/were jump tickets from this?

Thanks.

When was the last time the jet flew jumpers? I was there with 200 plus others and didn't get a chance to jump it. Jump for the Cause?

The locals will know??

I was there in Oct 2007 during the World CRW record trials. It flew a load but I did not get a chance to jump due to the trials.

Apparently it did not fly much longer after that and has been down ever since.

I was there again in May for the Big Ways and was told that it required replacements (engines ???) which were not justified expenses at the time. It sounded like a medium term thing but with options being kept open.

It was super impressive watching that thing take off and land on the Perris airstrip. Jump run started somewhere just after take off too!

The above could be crap, thought provoking, useful, or . . But not personal. You decide.

I was there last February. No jet, and I was told that it was likely never going to get back in skydive service because of how much money it would take to take care of whatever problem it had. Nevertheless, it's a great place to jump!
