I think every pilot should do at least 1 skydive!

Can anyone here recommend a drop zone in the Vancouver area, for someone with a few jumps already.

yfly, LOL, I can't argue with that! Except perhaps for the mid-airs. Of course, the same could be said for flying.

Pacific Skydivers in Pitt Meadows is a solid operation. Couple of Cessnas and a King Air 90 on the weekends. Can't beat the view there at 12000' either. Abbotsford is another good dz in the area. They run some Cessnas and a porter I think.

You forgot one cat, How many are Tandem's. Thats how almost everyone does there first dive and the last fatality I heard about was the instructor an older gentleman had a heart attack on the way down, however the student lived due to the Auto deployment system. Can anyone shed some more light on this, or how many tandems have had a fatality in the past 10 or so years? My old DZ has never lost a tandem.

N, check out dropzone.com & look at the accident reports under fatalities.

Did a charter out to Innisfail last year and was there for a few hours. Went to the skydive place there to see what it was about.

No hello, no smiles, no eye contact even. It was a bit busy, but not so much that you should ignore somebody who walks in (I was the only person in the entrance). Great way to promote your business!

Come out to Inveremere and I will show you the meaning of hospitality even if you don't plan on buying anything.
