Tandem Weekend Fall 2017
Fall 2017 Tandem Weekend
**UPDATE** Saturday Sept 16th is SOLD OUT. We have extended our tandem weekend to include Sunday, Sept 24th**
September 17th and 24th
$189 for UConn Students & Staff.
Sign up at http://skydivect.com/skydive-uconn
(Please enter a valid email address. There will be important information sent via email.)
This is a significantly discounted price for UConn students and staff (reg $235). Rides will be provided if you need one. Please plan on staying at the airport for a significant portion of the day since skydiving is a weather dependent sport. Food and drink will be provided at lunch time. We jump at Connecticut Parachutists Inc in Ellington, CT.
Wear something comfortable and dress for the weather as you will be outside for most of the day. Please wear sneakers, no boots or sandals.
There are two different photo and video packages available: outside video and handcam. With outside video, a videographer jumps with you and films and photographs your jump. With the handcam package, your instructor will have a camera on his wrist, capturing your freefall and parachute ride. For an example of each of these, click here. The price for video may seem expensive but it is a once in a lifetime moment for many and a great opportunity for an awesome Facebook or Instagram photo!

Wind Tunnel Trips
We will be holding trips during the fall for anyone who would like to try out the wind tunnel. This is called indoor skydiving and it feels the exact same as outdoor skydiving without the plane, parachute, or falling.
If you would like to go, message us and we will take you to the wind tunnel.

Collegiate Nationals 2016
It was a huge success! We had an awesome time and even won some medals. Our 4-way team, CT True Blue, won gold! Doug won bronze in classic accuracy. The weather was great and we upheld the UConn name.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the UConn team along the way including Connecticut Parachutists Inc., Aerodyne, Billy B, Bob Smith, Brian Smith, Jim Rees, and our friends, family, and angry girlfriends. Huge thanks to our loyal, semi-professional watcher, Dave Gerstein!
