rhys 0 #1 June 3, 2010 Hi there, I am just wondering if anybody knows what he highest scheduled tandem jump available in the world today is? I know some guys have done some over 30k but they were special occasions. The military may do some on a regular basis. What my question pertains to is; the highesst jump available for paying, unexperienced civilian customers... I know of a couple of 18k tandem operations in USA, Taupo and Queenstown (NZ) do 15k, but what is the worlds highest?"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, depending on exactly what you mean by world's highest tandem jump, the organization that offers tandems in the shadow of Mt Everest in the Himilayas, can definitely lay claim to highest DZ and LZ. Mike Mullins has had tandems go well over 23K feet on occasion out of his King Air."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

West Tennessee Skydiving provides the aircraft and DZ for scheduled tandems to either 28,000' or 30,000' (altitude varies with airspace restrictions at the actual time of the jump). Kevin Holbrook of halojumper.com provides the equipment and training. We have taken many "paying, unexperienced civilian tandem customers" on these jumps. We have taken tandems as high as 32,000'.

So if someone shows up tomorrow can they do a jump from 28000 or 30000, and if so how much does it cost?
