Fleahop 0 #3 May 18, 2006 I work directly with the FAA on the matter. But if thats not good enough go to the Peris web site grt the number and call them. I know that for reasons out of the WFFC's control that the jet has not made it in the past. Please note that it has not been promised in 3 years. It was there 5 years ago and we have been holding back on the advertising untill we knew for sure and the Owner of Peris says it will make it. If you remember it was there last year but not approved for skydiving. We have been working on that ever since.Don't just knock on deaths door...Kick it down and run like hell! He hates that.

The problem is not Ben's willingness to bring the jet - he's done it before. The problem is clearing the FAA hurdles that allow jumping from the jet. And from what I have heard, while it's looking good, it is far from certain yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
