Saw 0 #1 June 18, 2006 I found out yesterday that the only DZ in this country hasn't got a free spot for classes untill September. Knowing we only have 50ish non-rainy days here... grrrr. I don't drive, so going further is not an option... looks like I'll be doing a few tandem rides while waiting. Join me in my "no clouds" petition!

AggieDave 6 #2 June 18, 2006 Quotehasn't got a free spot for classes untill September. Man, it would be freak'n sweet to have that much business...all of those students to train. All the instructors busy all the time. That would be cool. Sorry you can't get jumping through the student progression until May. That'll give you a chance to do a couple of tandems for fun and training, though. Atleast you've got that. Is there anyways you could hang at the DZ and learn stuff on the ground? Maybe become a packer or something like that?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saw 0 #3 June 18, 2006 Aye, it's a pretty small DZ (well...can't compare, since this is the only one I've been to so far)... Spent the whole day there watching others jump and getting sunburns. I've seen only one plane (4 seater) and two instructors. It's a purdy small country too Join me in my "no clouds" petition! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NlghtJumper 0 #4 June 18, 2006 Good luck to ya. I hope you can get there soon. Keep checking back, maybe someone will cancel.

AggieDave 6 #5 June 18, 2006 Good english skills, by the way...I wish my spanish was as good as your english. QuoteI've seen only one plane (4 seater) and two instructors. Cool. Still doesn't mean you can learn stuff around the DZ and do some chores around the DZ for jump money.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Saw 0 #6 June 18, 2006 Spanish? My girl's portugese...but I don't think she likes it when we mix 'em up hehe.(hey don't pick on me if i didn't get it... I just woke up!) I grew up in Asia, then spent some time in the US (KY) and more in southern England... I tend to mix the languages sometimes... can't realy take any credit for it, it just happened.

soulshine 0 #7 June 18, 2006 Talk to the person in charge of training and see if they will call you if someone is unable to keep their reservation. It may be short notice but at least you'll be able to do your AFF sooner.

henryvillar 0 #8 June 19, 2006 You are in a puny little country right now, but with easy access to other countries (using the train) where you would be able to jump. I'm sure you'll find a more active DZ relatively closeby if you look. The opinions expressed herein are not necessarily those of my employer, not necessarily mine, and probably not necessary.

Saw 0 #10 June 20, 2006 Sorted since yesterday evening. I'm taking a week off & getting my AFF classes mid July in Spa, found a hotel nearby with a pool, sauna etc... I'll then be able to do jumps from Wiltz after I get that licence (if I understood correctly?). Cheers! Join me in my "no clouds" petition! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
