Re: 206 Crash into Dam West of Ipswich
A Tandem Skydive is not to be missed during a visit to the Whitsundays. With such stunning views it has to be one of the best loactions in the world to experience the most exhilerating feelings of freefall.
Our very experienced crew are here to make sure you have a enjoyable skydive. Most of our crew are current or ex-world and Australian Champions some of them having gold medals.
They all have between 5,000 and 9,000 skydives each and have been part of the sport for more than 20 years.
Tandem Skydive operates from a Cessna 182, which is a small aircraft but it also creates the small family feeling. Your skydive is personal with only two passengers per load, so there is no feeling of being ruched as the plane is not crowded.
We also provide the opportunity to capture the whole experience on Video, film or both.
This is an extra cost but an absolute must because viewing it afterwards is just like doing it again!
So where does it say your a student?
Come off it! This is a commercial profitmaking venture. Nothing less.
Anyway by the time the ATSB and the Coroner have finished, you will be regulated.

The owner of the operation was one of the tandem masters on the flight. He was also able to pull one of the passengers out of the wreckage, despite severe injuries to himself. Unfortunately, that passenger did not survive.

Just love the way the media started their crap straight away with "engine type was involved in two other fatal accidents in the last five years".
Like saying fatal "ford falcon crash- type involved in multiple accidents over the last twenty years!"
