jumpnow

The owner is psychotic. Talk about bad customer service! I took some friends there to do tandems and they got yelled at by the freak at the desk. They advertize that they go from 11500' ... not mentioning that that is above sealevel and the DZ is at 2000' so they are ripping off unknowing customers who don't know the difference. They advertize the King air but it never flies. Even the staff joke about it being a holagram not a real plane. If you jump here you ARE going to be jumping a cessna. They used to have a great videographer. She was really friendly and made the experience for tandems and upjumpers when the pyscho at the desk was on form. Rumors abound about why she left... from going back to school to hitting the boss. For sure they lost their best instructor and some of the students are mad at this too. When I was there one kid drove for 2 hours only to be told that he couldn't jump because all the instructors were doing tandems and his instructor (sally?) wasn't there. Overall - don't go here!!! The gear is old and crappy. the planes SUCK and are dangerous (I overherd 2 of the pilots talking about them not meeting FAA regs.) and the guy that owns the place is just out to make money. You might have to pay more at other DZs but it's worth it.

Interesting place to go and check out the skygods who are way too into themselves to want to meet new people. Nice big planes dropping all over the sky, but with people landing all over the desert. The student landing area seems to be the safest place to be.
