Enter the legend with a tandem parachute jump from an exceptional place: created more than a hundred years ago, Dijon-Longvic Air Base hosted the exploits of the French Flying Ace of the First World War, Georges Guynemer, attended the birth of the Patrouille de France or even saw the flights of the first Mirage, no less! It's the only company that offers tandem jumps above this base.
With our certified instructors, having several thousand jumps to their credit, you are in good hands for an adrenalin-filled experience like no other. Come fly above the clouds and feel the thrills of freefall: you will remember this unique moment all your life!
Programme
- Meeting and preparation:
We meet at our base at the agreed time. After completing the administrative formalities, you will be given a short training with your tandem instructor teaching you the right gestures you will have to do throughout the jump, from flying to landing. We will then give you your equipment and when the conditions are right, you will board the plane with your tandem instructor.
- Flight and jump:
15min of flight await you to reach the desired altitude of 4,000m: your instructor takes the opportunity to show you the wonderful landscapes you fly over before preparing you for the jump when the 3,000m are reached. 1,000m higher, the pilot gives the green light, the doors open and... it's time for the big jump!
Keep your eyes wide open to enjoy the first few seconds of freefall as you reach a dizzying 200 km/h. After 50s and reaching 1,500m, your instructor will open his parachute and a 5 to 8-minute scenic flight awaits you above the landscapes of Burgundy. If you wish, your instructor can even let you pilot the parachute for a few moments.
- Landing and return:
For landing, all you have to do is repeat the actions learned during the training: your instructor will ensure that everything goes smoothly. Once back on the ground, take a deep breath: congratulations, you have just had one of the craziest experiences of your life!
