Well slap me down like a dog, and kick me into a mud hole... I read somewhere on the link you provided a total of 406 tandems. That is far more than I thought possible in a single day.

I heard Cross Keys just did 408.

Can we hear some stats such as how many packers, instructors, pilots, planes involved... ?

What was the most packed by a packer, jumped by an instructor?

I know crosskeys did a crapload not long ago. Someone else said on this thread 408 or something insane like that. I would love to see the stats as far as how many instructors, rigs, planes flying and all that. That is an amazing number of tandems in one day. Skydive San Marcos did 110 a month or so ago on a Saturday. 12-13 instructors, one otter, and 3 packers.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Yea Cross Keys holds the record I believe, becuase i was there. 407 tandems were done in that day. Everyone at cross keys was amazing, and very friendly. Danny the camera guy was sick and did an awesome job on my friends video, and kelly did a sick job on mine. Its amazing what those people do. I will be doing my AFF there in the early spring months. I cant wait.


papa

P.s. sebastion was an awesome tandem master.

Cross Keys did 407 or 406 last month.
They had planned to start at 6 am but due to bad weather it was started around 9 and finished b/f sunset. I think someone told me they ran out of passengers so they stopped.

CK TMs do around 20 jumps on a weekend day.

That's some badass shit
