Skydive Zhills site
Skydive City, Z- Hills, Florida, March 28-30 2008 - 10 accuracy competition jumps (8 day jumps and 2 night jumps)

price: $16/ jump, $30 competition fee. Total $190
aircraft: Cessna 182, four competitors in the same pass, except the last two jumps when will be two competitors at the pass
We start first jump: Friday the 28th at 1 p.m. and the night jumps are schedule for Friday evening.
 

If the weather doesn’ t cooperate, Saturday night and Sunday are the back up’ s.
Also we keep the training camp before the competition, which is schedule for March 15th, for two weeks.

At the camp will do style jumps too and the price is $19 (6600-7500') . We are looking for a 2nd Cessna to use as well, especially for the competition weekend. That will help keep things moving along. If people are here to practice during the Easter Weekend, it may be difficult if not impossible to provide low passes, especially for style while the Boogie is going on.

We could have 3-4 Otters flying non-stop, meaning a load of jumpers dropping every 6-8 minutes. Much like any other boogie, we just say 'no' to the low passes - but that is only for those 2-3 days. So the Mar 21, 22, 23 days will not be good days to train or expect training. Any other days will be fine and we will make room for everyone.
We are a large operation and offer premium facilities for everyone who comes here, so I hope that everyone understands that Skydive City has a lot more to offer than some small weekend single-Cessna operation.
Come and have fun at Z-hills! On March 15th we ’ll kick off The Easter Boogie, ‘till 23rd. We fly four Twin Otters and helicopter. You have the opportunity to train for the night jumps on 15th and 23rd, or to do some high altitude jumps on 16th and 24th. We have a lots of area for free camping and a full-service RV park.
 
Onsite facilities include the Hard Dock Cafe, Sunshine Factory Pro Shop, Sunset Bar, laundry, and hot showers. Tampa and Gulf of Mexico is less than an hour away and Orlando with Sea World and Disney are just behind the hill, so bring your family for a vacation. For more information about lodging and directions check our website: www.skydivecity.com I ’m looking to get an estimate of how many people may attend the competition, so, please let me know if you plan on coming to Z-hills.

I’ m looking forward to hearing from everyone, Au revoir, Marius Ivascu NAC #1(Z-hills) organizer This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it 352.461.9211
