In June of 2009 a group will leap next to Mt McKinley

If you think you can grab your chute and go jump on the plane, think again. All jumps must be performed in tandem with a certified high altitude skdiver. These jump masters are have former military experience and are one of the few certified to jump from 28,000 or higher. For $25,000 you too can join this group limited to only 25 guest. Costs include 6 days and five nights at an Alaskan lodge with a view of Mt McKinley.
