Open Saturday at 8am
We are opening tomorrow at 8am. The weather looks perfect for jumping with warm temperatures and light winds. Instructor available all day. I can promise that you will not jump if you aren’t here.
Open Sunday!
Pilot arriving at 10am. We’ll have the hangar open by 9:15 for packing and training. Looking at the wind forecast, it might be a good idea for students to get out early before things pick up. Instructor available.
