Jump Prices Over The Years

[rehmwa 2]

Quote

When I started in 1981, jump prices were $1.00 per 1,000 feet. Jump from 7,500 = $7.50.

It was like that in the mid and late 80's too for me.

But I recall the Couch Freaks had a season or two with frequent flyer rates from the 206 - membership was $45, then jumps started at $9 to 9K and then dropped to $5 to 9K once you hit 45 jumps for that season. I think that was '88 or '89.
