Ian,
Good catch. I thought it was a bit much for IANTD to be the only agency
other that GUE to adopt a decent air depth. Just for grins- Hal Watts (PSA)
advertises air training to beyond 300'. Nope, that's not a typo... Three
Hundred feet plus. You have to call for the price of the 300'+ class,
probably have to pay in advance too.
