Default Airkix indoor sky diving

Just been to Airkix in Milton Keynes, it was absolutly awsome. Blowing arround in big tube, face being pounded by the wind. £35 gets you basic instruction and 2 one minute flights. I paid an £10 for an extra flight and was taken high up in the tube by the instuctor, you then plumet downwards at an amazing speed before spining rond and flying back up.
Lynn bought me it as a Christmas present, roll on next Christmas.

Small world isn't it Jim, you might have jumped out of one of my planes m8, you never know. I used to go all over the country doing student drops and loads of demos for the Army teams.

I am the guy that flew 6 SAS blokes up to 25,000 feet over Dover Castle and they dropped and then crossed the Channel by parachute with me following them all the way across as I cleared the airspace above us for Gatwick and Heathrow arivals!

Did a few drops at Headcorn on and off, used a Piper Seneca Twin there or a Cherokee 6.
