kjarv 0 #2 May 28, 2004 On Oahu go to Dillingham field, there are 2 DZ's there you can jump from. Pacific Skydiving and Skydive Hawaii. Both are open 7 days a week. Pacific Skydiving has the better aircraft. Superfast Kingair, but during the week they are usually shut down by noon (when they run out of tandem tourists they go surfing...not enough fun jumpers during the week to keep the plane going). Winds usually kick up by afternoon anyway making landing quite sporting. Skydive Hawaii is nice too, they don't run their king air as often as Pacific Skydiving so you might have to ride their Cessna ... Clarence is a really nice guy though. Both DZ's have good guys hanging around. The DZ is small with not too many outs, so sharpen your landing skills. I have read that they cut down the giant trees that usually had nasty rotors coming off of them effectively shrinking an already small landing area, but I haven't been there since they cut the trees so I don't know. Jump tix were $18 a year ago... Both DZ's can provide full rigging services. You can't camp there anymore.... Have fun, the view is unbelievable! A solo belly flight is not wasted on just lookin' at the view! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
