so my next question should be, is the pilot at nagambie a good one? :P we are booking in to get our A license later this year, and have heard that nagambie is the best in vic... we havn't jumped before but are working towards getting the birdman suits... nagambie also do wingsuit training too dont they? im not too fond of going to europe just for that. anyway, just gathering as much info as i can on the dropzone atm, my other option would be bendigo...
