Description:
As your aircraft reaches an altitude of over 13,000 feet your instructor tells you its time. Your heart starts pounding from the adrenaline and excitement as you inch closer to the open aircraft door.

You peer over the edge and then, in a split second, you are on the most exciting thrill ride of your life with an expert instructor at your side.

As you fly through clouds at approximately 120 mph, for nearly a minute, you feel a complete and total sense of freedom not found anywhere else in the world.

Once the parachute has been deployed, you will have four to five minutes of time to enjoy the view, learn about canopy control, practice for the landing, and just enjoy the ride.

All tandem jumpmasters have earned the USPA's highest rating and have thousands of jumps to their credit.

The owner of the drop zone is the Director of Safety and Training for the U.S. Parachute Association.  You are in good hands!

Take pride in knowing you have accomplished what less than 1% of the world has ever done!
