Aircraft, Directions, Lodging and Restaurant Information

AIRCRAFT

Our usual aircraft is a Twin Turbine Twin Otter that gets us to 13,500 or 14,000 Ft. for the incredibly cheap price of $19 for experienced jumpers. West Point Skydiving Adventures owns a Cessna 182 which can be used for jumping at any time. Gear rental at the West Point Skydiving Adventures will cost $30 per jump and you must show proof of your previous jump history if you need to rent gear and have not been to "The Point" before.

Restaurant Information

West Point is a pretty small town so the dining experience doesn't exactly make it into the New Yorker Magazine! There are the usual fast food choices: McDonald's, Hardee's, and Subway.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and for once it's not a locomotive! There is a place we swarm to after jumping that has pretty good food at really cheap prices. It's called Tony and George's. They serve seafood, Italian, and steaks and sandwiches. They are also really good about putting up with the usual noisy crowd!

There is also another good local place called Anna's that serves Italian food and subs for dirt cheap prices. Both of these places are on Rt. 30 about 1 mile north of Rt.33.

And yet another good local place is Nick's, about 4 miles east of the airport on Rt. 33. They have a wide variety of food that is pretty tasty and not very expensive.
