“On 5 May 2007 I did a Tandem Skydive to raise money for Epilepsy Action. What a fantastic experience it was! All the nerves were worth it to experience the sensation of freefall at 120mph!! The instructors were great and really made the day. Thanks for a superb day.”

“I did my tandem skydive on the 28th of April 2007, at the airfield in Whitchurch, to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care...WOW! It was the most daring, amazing, exhilarating and exciting event I have ever been through. I am still smiling and only just getting off that cloud nine, you have to experience a tandem for yourself to understand the feeling. I would like to give my instructor a massive thankyou for putting up with me (as I know now that I never shut up) and for making me feel at ease and for being a really good laugh. Sorry to my instructor for dropping my legs when we landed, won't do that next year because I will definitely be back xxxxx Once again a massive thankyou to you and all at Skyline, best ever, see you all next year xxxxxxxx”

“On Saturday 5th August, at the age of 40 and for Cancer Backup, I undertook a tandem jump at Nottingham Airfield. It has to be the most exhilarating experience of my life! After having cancer myself, this was a great way of raising money, giving something back and learning something so completely unique. I have certainly found a new hobby and am now hoping to undertake the AFF COURSE - I can't wait!! Perhaps I can join an over 40's jump club??”

“On Saturday the 14th April 2007 I made my first Tandem jump at Cark airfield in Cumbria, it was the most awesome thing I have ever done! 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! ”

“Today 12th August 2006, I did my first tandem skydive at St Andrews airfield. It was absolutely fantastic, it was the most exhilarating experience of my life, the most amazing thing next to giving birth to my son (who was watching from the sidelines). I am feeling very proud of myself, jumped from a plane and raised money for the KIDNEY RESEARCH UK as well! Thanks to all the friendly staff who helped me enjoy the day all the more, well done and keep up the good work”

“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!!”

“I did my first (and definitely not my last) Tandem Skydive on Sat 15th July 2006 for Marie Curie at Durham Airfield. It was such an Amazing Experience and thanks to the great staff there I was so relaxed and had no fear throughout. I just wish I had done this earlier in life, wow how fantastic.”

“I completed a tandem jump on 01/07/06 at Salisbury airfield. To quote my instructor "Now you know why the birds sing!" What an amazing experience! Don't just talk about doing a skydive, enjoy the experience! Thanks to Skyline for making it happen.”

“I did a tandem skydive for Leukaemia Busters on 24 March 2007 at Salisbury. It was absolutely the most exciting, exhilerating, mind blowing, bewildering and best experience of my life. My instructor Mick was so brilliant and put me totally at ease, and my camerman Mickey captured every thrilling moment for the world to see. Words cannot describe the extremes - one minute you're free falling with the wind rushing past you, then you're hanging peacefully at the end of a parachute gently coming down to earth. It is such a beautiful experience and if anyone reading this has had the smallest thought about doing it, then I would say do it - you will remember it for ever. I will definitely be doing this again - you've turned me in to an adrenalin junkie!”
