We now have enough people to do the night jumps on the 4th of july. don't miss out. This should be an awesome time.

if you are planning on doing the jumps please remember you have to do at least one jump that day under the canopy you will be jumping that night. Also you will need red and green chem lights and a strobe or other light visable for 3 miles. (see the sim for details)



Edited to correct the 10 miles to 3.

It's actually 3 miles...

"1. A light visible for at least three statute miles displayed from opening until the jumper is on the ground (an FAA requirement for protection from aircraft)"
