QuoteIts nice to see David has found somewhere he fits in.
One thing everyone should know is it takes 15 minutes to drive to the Ocaña DZ from Skydive Lillo and a further 45 minutes at least to drive to the airport.... do the maths!!
Also Aranjuez is about as close to Ocaña as Earth is to the moon....
Nice to see also that the Lillo 4-way team have decided to continue to base themselves at Skydive Lillo where there is a Dornier G92 arriving in October. Lillo have been very kind to sponsor the team in the past.
Just got back from Ocana and can say that it is a great drop zone, lost a couple of days jumping through wind but that can happen anywhere. The drop zone is 10 min drive from town which is a nice place at night, great food and coffee also drink if you want it.
The instructors at FFU all seem to be very good and from what I saw they look after their students very well, making sure that they are kept well informed and made to feel that they count,the two Andy's are both really nice guys and work well as a team together. The spanish staff try to make you feel at home and will get you in the air as much as they can, having jumped at Emporia, Lillo, Seville and Ocana, I would say that Ocana comes out best for students and anyone else that takes their jumping seriously, if you want to party then Emporia may be better in the summer but for jumping alone then Ocana gets my vote.
They also have Freefly coaching (WWW.avalorefreefly.com) FS coaching, Wingsuit Coach and BASE courses, the landing area must be about the biggest in europe.
You could not ask for moreQuote
