Sunny
days in Lillo. Check out the DZ's new aircraft. We are now
regularly jumping from altitudes of up to 14000ft. This extra
height affords for much greater learning time on our AFF Courses.
No other dropzone in the area can boast two fast climbing
aircraft and unrivaled turn around time. Jump more, learn
more enjoy more at Skydive Lillo! |

It's
nearly Boogie time! - The DZ is starting to get busy in the
lead up to its christmas event. There will be a helicopter
in Lillo from the 8th of December. Fancy doing your level
8 from a chopper?

Other
news.....check out our classroom facilities....here you can
see our very own Jonno and Lamorna working on our new promo

like all our instructors and students to wear the same colours

Skydive
Spain have brought in their Dornier for the Christmas and
New Year boogie. They have an impressive fleet of aircraft
(including their SMG92) and also benefit from drop altitudes

A tandem skydive is an ideal way to introduce
yourself to our sport. Why not take a look at our Gold AFF
package or even try an AFF level 1? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Learning to pack helps you to gain more
knowledge about the equipment you are jumping. It is a good
skill to have when you are jumping on a busy DZ and there
are no packers available. Freefall Addicts are able to offer
you a learn to parachute pack course in addition
to the many other courses we run. |
