The instructors of Skydive Kantor

Jindřich Kantor

Owner and manager of the company. Born in 1966, married, two children. He has been skydiving since the age of 17 and has more than 7,000 jumps behind him. He has been doing tandem jumps since 1998, after his first trip to Australia. He was in Australia again from December 2000 until the middle of February 2001 and brought back to Bohemia the idea of jumps with a „Handycam“, a camera on the hand. He has been using the „Handy“ camera successfully for seven seasons now. He was only the ninth tandem pilot in the Czech Republic and the very first one trained here. He came up with a unique way of handling a very serious situation that in the past mostly ended tragically. Today this method is part of the training methodology for skydivers at all levels all over the world. He is also a co-author of the solution to the problems with the parachute buckles used by all parachute manufacturers.

Jan Kottnauer

Born in 1973, married. He has been skydiving since 1993, and since 1998 also with a video camera and a stills camera on his head. In total he has more than 5,800 jumps to his name. A cameraman, including film work, he took part in the shooting of the film „Příběhy obyčejného šílenství“. In the company he is still the „number one cameraman“. His Handy footage is very well done! Honza is always hungry. He does not look it, but he is always eating something. And he hardly speaks at all, so after all these years we still do not know much about him… His other hobbies: high-mountain hiking, skiing, snorkelling, rafting and food…

Miluše Vaňková

At the airfield we all call her Milka. She started skydiving at the age of 17 and since 2007, when she became the first female tandem pilot in the Czech Republic, she has been doing tandem jumps. In total she has more than 3,000 jumps to her name. She is a co-holder of several Czech records in multi-person formations, the last of them a 38-person formation made in Příbram in 2012. She is a member of the Czech women's national team CZ Ladies in four-way formation skydiving, RW 4. Among other competitions at home and abroad, the girls also took part in the world championship in Prostějov. She usually rides out to the airfield on her darling — her motorbike — and then takes a detour on the way home, apparently to enjoy a few bends as well. You will usually catch her with a smile on her face, and you will hear a Moravian accent in her speech...
