I was turned down at several other DZs due to my age 60 for AFF training. Doug Kirk assured me that age would not matter as long as I was fit and mentally aware. I came down and finished my AFF in (3) days, which included (6) hours of ground school, one tandem evaluation, which counted toward my AFF and a total of (7) jumps.I felt very comfortable there despite some initial apprehensions regarding my ability. Initially, I jumped from the PAC 10 from 14,500 and that was excellent. The rest of my jumps were from a Cessna 182, which was adequate, but quite small for a beginner. I am the chief pilot for a major corporation with over 12000 hours and in perfect physical condition. I was surprised how quickly I was able to get my certificate after only (7) jumps. All the credit belongs to Doug Kirk, Nigel and especially Pip, who drilled all of the procedures until I was proficient. It was an excellent experience, highly recommended and I will go back to this DZ as long as I continue to skydive.
