I kinda hate to burst your bubble but skydiving is on the decline. It has been for the last 5 years or so. The “Go-Go 90’s” yielded mass amounts of disposable income. Movies like Point Break promoted this so-called extreme sport of ours. Right now, we are at the end of a golden age for skydiving. I predict that mega dropzones will go bankrupt in a few years. Places like Perris and Eloy will go the way of the Roman Empire. We will look back and remember how great these facilities used to be. Remember that DC-9 jet that never really happened. The sport will devolve back to small skydiver clubs who fly small Cessna’s to altitude. Manufacturers will be few and far between and will be run out of home garages rather than warehouses. The wind tunnels will be used for scrap metal. Enjoy these amenities while you still can because you will miss them when they are gone. UntamedDOG Dude, you must be kidding. That plane has already flown to Rantoul, delivered supplies to Hurricane Katrina victims, and I hear rumors of a flight to New Orleans during Mardi Gras to crash some boogies. Perris Valley Airlines is up and running. The Conasters aren't going to go bankrupt...they bought that DC9 because they could...you skydive with your extra money, they buy DC9 jets.Get in - Get off - Get away....repeat as neccessary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
