“I did a tandem skydive on the 11/6/06. I would like to thank you for the most brilliant day of my life it is one I will never forget - it was FANTASTIC”

Michaela Ford
Bridgwater

“I did my second tandem skydive today (29/07/07) from Honiton and enjoyed it even more than the first because it was from 15000 ft and so I enjoyed the freefall more. My whole family were there to support me which really helped as I was still nervous. The instructors were absolutely brilliant. The most magical moment was when I touched hands with one of the other solo jumpers during the freefall. I raised £400 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer which will hopefully help a lot of sufferers. Who knows I might be back for a third time!”

Ross Currie
Clydebank

“I did my first (hopefully not my last) parachute jump at the Auchterarder airfield on Saturday 28 July 2008. It was a tandem jump and there is no better feeling in the world than free falling for 30 secs at over 100mph! It's a totally awesome experience that I would recommend to everyone. My jump was in aid of Multiple Sclerosis and so far I've raised £922.00 (but hopefully will reach £1000.00). I would like to thank my instructor and all the staff at the airfield for making it such a special day.”

Neil Pacey
Bognor Regis

“On Sat 7th April myself & friend Andy Evans completed a Charity Tandem Skydive from Salisbury for Dreams Come True raising over £2000. Both of us would like to thank all of the staff/instructors there for making the day possible, we have now experienced the adrenalin rush of freefall to the surreal sensation of floating in midair from the parachute ride back to solid ground. Both of us are now considering the advanced course for AFF. Thanks again for changing both of us into "Speed Freaks".”

“I did a 13,000 feet tandem jump and it was absolutely fantastic!! My instructor Dave was brilliant and my camera man Steve was excellent as well. I've got a great DVD of my jump! I am going to book another one straight away. I'd recommend it to anyone, it was the best experience of my life! Thanks to Dave and Steve who helped make it an amazing day!!”

Laura Bond

“Thanks to every one at the Nottingham centre, where I did my first tandem skydive on the 9th April 2007! I had an amazing time doing the jump and definitely want to do it again, I did the jump in aid of breast cancer care and raised about £900! Being 16 I was a bit nervous but my instrutor was great. Thanks again!!”

Stephanie Tyrrell

“My skydive was bought for me as a 24th birthday present... I was soooo nervous all day- shaking - then as soon as I got in the plane, the excitement kicked in and the nerves just disappeared!! It was an amazing experience, definitely one I'll never forget!! Words cannot describe the feeling of free-falling!! It's been 2 days since I did it, and I still haven't stopped smiling!!”

JOANNE ATKINSON
Gateshead

“Today April 15th I finally did my Tandem Jump at Shotton Colliery. The day could not have been better, the sun was shining and the staff were brilliant. It's the most nerve racking, mind blowing, stomach churning, terrifying thing I have ever done. And me, afraid of heights did it at 10,000 feet, yeeha!!! People said better me than them, well don't knock it until you've tried it. What a brilliant day!”

A big thank you to my instructor Mike who was fantastic he made sure I enjoyed every minute of the jump and to Gary the cameraman for a great DVD. I can't wait for my next one hopefully a static line! ”
