What to expect

- Restaurants and convenience stores are nearby, or you are welcome to bring a cooler and picnic on the patio. Please note that we don't permit open alcohol while skydiving operations are underway.
- Depending on your class size and the number of instructors and aircraft available, it may take most of the day to get everyone up in the air. You may wish to bring a book, friends, frisbee, or something to pass time.
- We will make every effort to have you jump on the same day as your ground school class, but weather and other circumstances may occasionally interfere. If you are unable to jump on the day of your class you will be advised to reschedule at your convenience before retraining is necessary. (Please advise us ahead of time if you are leaving to join the Merchant Marines the next day, so we can do our best to avoid disappointments.)
