Appears to be lots of Tandemonia out there, which is great for first jumpers, makes it more exciting, great for solo because they fund the big planes.
Future Tandem Folks: On a big plane you get to watch all the others jump before you which is fun and will calm the nerves a bit. Also your video will be much more impressive. In a little Cessna it looks/feels more like squeezing out of a flying box. Just not the same.
Food and shade and air-conditioning, lots of space. It appears John runs a pretty tight ship, I feel confident in the planes and gear.
