We offer first jump training either by Tandem or Instructor Assisted Deployment.
Our staff all hold USPA instructional ratings.

The Aircraft
N8882X has been employed flying skydivers since 1986 starting in Lyons Kansas at the Oz Sport Parachute Center and moving down to Air Capital Drop Zone on Cook Field in 2000. She has made several thousand trips to altitude. The long history of 82X can be directly attributed to her excellent maintenance, and the fact that she has always had only the best of pilots behind the yoke.
