Rounding out the flightline are a Porter and a Beech 18. The fleet is led by 4 Super Otters and 5 Skyvans, each capable of taking twenty three skydivers to 13,000 feet in 15 minutes.Ī venerable DC-3, once the workhorse of the fleet, carries the occasional load of 43 jumpers. No other skydiving center has the quality or quantity of aircraft found at Skydive Arizona. It takes more than just great facilities to put thousands of skydivers a year in the air efficiently and safely. Equipment sales, food, a shower and laundry facility, grassy camping area, recreation hall with bunks for overnight guests, and basketball and volleyball courts are some of the many amenities. Around the central building, which houses offices, aircraft manifesting, classrooms, and an indoor packing area, one can find everything a skydiver needs. Visitors remark on the oasis like appearance of the center, which has plenty of grass, a swimming pool, and trees in the midst of an otherwise barren desert. Skydive Arizona located in the heart of the scenic Sonoran Desert, lies midway between Arizona’s two largest cities, Phoenix and Tucson.Īlthough close to major highways, it is surrounded by flat, uninhabited land for miles in every direction.
