diablopilot 2 #1 September 3, 2006 Had a fun time today at your beautiful facility, as did my friends. We'll be back in a larger pack before long! Special thanks to Instructor Brian, who was accomodating, and helpful, and can also make a great spot on an ex-tunnel instructor who needed one!---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

frost 1 #4 September 5, 2006 The tunnel rocked! So much better then Orlando! More flow, more power, smoother air much better facilities.... Huge progress. The staff was great and friendly. On a side note... If you think you can fly - go to the tunnel and get humbled. It was funny to see freefly istructors from another DZ who supposedly rock in the sky trying to learn head down in there :) To me it was very humbling to go back to step one (backflying) to learn how to sit fly properly in the wind tunnel. It was awesome to see my friends with plenty of tunnel time and 3 times less jumps then me fly much better then me and look like they have more then a 1000 jumps. I also saw supreme precision from Kirk Verner (who was coaching there) - not a single wasted move, every movement has a purpose... just amazing! Almost made me wanna go back to belly flying again! NOT! :) The tunnel flying is so much different... and SUCH a great tool for anyone at ANY level. If your goal is to be great in freefall - definitely check it out!

ryoder 1,590 #5 September 6, 2006 So how does it compare to SVCO?"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #6 September 6, 2006 AFAIK the machinery is the same. The doors are a little bigger in NH which I hear is being changed. The building seems to be more condusive to skydivers with ample briefing rooms. Nice layout to their building especialy the viewing area. All in all I think it's the best designed building I've seen out of the three recirculating SV tunnels in operation currently.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.
