Mark was my tandem master on my jump last year. Very, very cool guy. Everyone out there was. AR Aerosports is where I will do my AFF training next spring (had to put it off this year to help my mother). I of course have no experience so I won't comment on their safety or lack of, but I was quite comfortable out there. And then, as Lindsey pointed out, there's the issue of so few choices around here.
