Oh, and the first freefall after you are good enough to not need a static line is free. They must've taken their marketing plan from drug pushers ("Go on, try a hit for free, see if ya like it..." and then you're hooked!).

So figuring on paying for about 30 jumps to get a Class A, I think they estimate about $2000 total.


Of course, just like flight training, there is more than one way to skin a cat. These are my estimates at my drop zone. Go to other places flying different types of planes, using different training methods, and you'll probably come up with different numbers.
Thanks for the info man. I was looking around and came up with about that same number. Well goodluck and have fun!
