  1. Looking for someone who might have plans for a Lexan door for a U206
  2. I own Archway so let me answer the original post. There was no negligence, the judge upheld the waiver. The lawyer I believe went looking for this individual not the other way around, and even though the training was excellent, we did everything right and there was nothing wrong with the gear it cost me a lot of money to defend.
  3. Population of KC-1.2 Million DZ's in KC- 5 Ratings new dzo holds-one (coach) Experience running DZ-none Experience running a business-none Turbines that have tried and failed in KC-many Not enough population To many DZ's Not enough experience not to rain on everyones parade but anyone that knows the business can see that this DZ will not last long so the other DZ's will have to tighten the belt for a season. I'm all for capitalism and competition but some common sense is in order here. The thing that is being used to bring all the new jumpers is also the reason it won't survive in KC. Bigger isn't always better. This is just the opinion of someone watching from the outside and wondering "What the hell was he thinking" This new DZO might be a great kid but he's in over his head. If you are looking for some honest advice call me.
  4. OK, it appears it's time to respond. I'm Jason Mark, the dzo of Archway. I've been monitoring this thread and trying to stay out of it. We appreciate the positive comments towards Archway, and negative ones - well you're entitled to your own opinions. This whole thread appears to be nothing but quoting one another, picking apart the quotes, and bashing your fellow skydivers. Nothing has been based on facts or the actual events or circumstances of that particular day, even though you may think you know them. I'm not going to respond again. Bottom Line - If any of you have any questions, or concerns about our staff, safety record, or safety practices, then call me - or better yet - come see for yourself and visit Archway. Everyone is welcome. Jason
