Well it's due to hit 75 here in the next few days. That's as good as it gets really in this slightly soggy country. May was wet and windy. In my job as a skydive pilot, I only flew five hours in May, all in one day, compared to 70 hours in April. June is looking good already, due to drop tandems for the next five days. Looks as if the weather will hold for all of them. Big payday on Tuesday!

There's your problem.   :D    Better weather for it over here, lots of space and country, but probabley a lot more competition for that type of work out here too.  Skydiving in Ireland sounds like a real niche, in more than one way.

It's really niche, I'm the only full time skydive pilot in Ireland. Yep, I have the whole thing wrapped up. I'm it! All the others are part time or unpaid. I probably wouldn't even get a job in the US!
