Yesterday afternoon I was able to redeem my birthday voucher in Triengen in beautiful flying weather. Ok, I was tense and concentrated beforehand and really wondered whether I wanted to do this tandem jump. After all, there is a risk involved and I didn't choose it myself.
Arriving at the Flying Ranch, the calm, seriousness and healthy sense of humor of the tandem master and the whole crew put me at ease and even made me curious. The instructions before the jump helped me to concentrate on the facts. Well prepared and almost relaxed, I enjoyed the flight at 3500m with a fantastic view of the foehn-blown mountains of central Switzerland. And then came the jump, actually a somersault, into the void 2000m free fall....................., for which I still have no words. That's just awesome. Hammer, hammer, could never have ended for me!!!! The glider opens and brakes the flight into the depths with a huge jerk upwards. Hovering, soaring through the air - that's the whizzing, by the way - we turn left and right towards our destination. My stomach didn't like the curves so much. It's not the tandem master's fault, for my brain it's like riding a "Chilbi track", it can't keep up so quickly. A gentle landing brought us back down to earth. I had full confidence in Erwin, who steered everything behind me and guided me back safely.
I would jump again in a heartbeat and the fact that I am writing this here surprises me, but it shows that Flightbase is a very serious, professional company. An exciting experience in the realm of aviation, which I can only recommend to the brave (and those who will become brave) of this world:-)
Many thanks for the extremely competent support and guidance.

My tandem jump in Sitterdorf is the best thing that could have ever happened to me - top instructors, top jump and simply a wonderful, unique experience!

My tandem parachute flight took place on 24.9.16 in Triengen.
We were instructed very carefully and well. The flight attendants were very competent and friendly.
The team at the base created a good atmosphere.
I always had the feeling that I was being taken seriously and well looked after.
A small suggestion: I think it would be nice if first-time jumpers in particular were given the opportunity to chat with the other participants over a coffee after the jump (for most of them this is a great experience) - it would somehow give the event a more rounded finish.
Best regards Jacqueline

The reception was very friendly. The introduction was brief and to the point. The ascent flight was pleasant. Especially with something like this it is very important to feel that you are in good hands and in good hands, which was absolutely the case here. The jump was unique and absolutely amazing. I enjoyed it from the very first second! Many thanks to Andy for letting us fly and land as softly as feathers :).
The movie is very nice and well edited. Every time I play it, I get goosebumps all over again. !!!
Many thanks and continued success!!!

Simply mega beautiful!
The preparation was short and sweet, good for me! I got into the plane without any nervousness and enjoyed the flight up. The jump into the void was overwhelming, as was the glide!
Would jump again in a heartbeat!!! Beautiful
