    I pulled out old issuse of Parachutist (Jan 05 & March 06), remembering I'd once read something on Mesquite, to acquainted myself with your DZ. Nice article J.T. and cool pictures, too. Is there going to be any crafts other than the Caravans? Helicopter, maybe? Two more days to go, I'm excited? Any suggestions on things we need to bring, besides the obvious? Is there a on-site rigger in case of reserve repack needs? BSBD C-ya O-kcsmm-aka-'tree American Warchild

    I'd say the two you mentioned are the closest DZ to you to the east. Taft and California City are north and not that much further, definitely worth checking out. Johnnyboy goes to Pepperdine and jumps at Taft and Perris. I'll call him today, for you, welcome to L.A. C-ya O-kcsmm-aka-'tree American Warchild

    It awesome to hear someone has gotten their first taste of flight, good for you Jason! Keep it up, stay current and be safe. There is a lot of valuable information you can learn from reading around this website, things to do, things not to do, but in the end is all up to you! Have a great journey, BSBD !

    Who said "we're not out of the woods, yet"? Nice view of the town, I pictured Orlando bigger. Where was the landing area? Looked like someone yard

    I'm not a dickhead, but I am a Peckerhead skydiver . Eloy was fun wasn't it, even though I was only there for three day and was rained on one of those day, I met some cool people and made some cool jumps, DC-3 my favorite. I'm sure the Blue Sky Boogie will be the same, hopefully, minus the weather. C-ya! BSBD O-kcsmm-aka-'tree American Warchild

    Skydive Taft

    kcogletree reviewed sdtaft's dropzone in California

    So many good things about this dropzone that people can enjoy just for the day or hanging for a weekend. For example, everyone is treated with compassion and kindness, even those that show up with a bad case of ego-I-tistism, leave with better attitude after altitude here at Taft. The twin otter is turning loads and a lot more people get to play all day even though it's hard to get a load up before 8 a.m.; carpe diem. The staff here couldn't be any better, totally top shelf, all of them knowledgeable with no "know it all's" attitudes that seem to scare away the beginners, student and vistors. Everyone is treated with the respect that she/he brings with them. No one is exclude and everyone is encouraged to particapate... on loads big or small ways, ground support or whatever, there's always something to do and someone to do it with...Blue Skies!!! C-ya soon
