    Skydive field

    Mar 26–27, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Today we checked out Pam and Jim's rental and proceeded to the Arizona Skydive field outside of Eloy. If you like watching skydivers, here's the place to be. You can hear them land. They have a grass covered landing zone about the size of the infield of a baseball field. It was warm 93⁰. I also got the chance to watch a guy reload his chute. This was done with meticulous care. Every fold had to be perfect.Read more

    Tortilla Flats

    March 27, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Today we decided to head to Tortilla Flats. This was part of the Apache Trail that was carved by hand and was used to build the dam at Roosevelt Lake. It took 13 hours back then to drive this road!
    Prior to the destination, we viewed Canyon Lake. The Dolly Paddle Boat takes you on a ride back into the lake.
    The town was hopping! It's tiny tiny with a group of older guys that have a band and play every day from 11 to 4.    Read more

    Landing a 20 person formation

    Arizona Skydive

    March 28, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    This was another tremendous day watching sky divers. They had a 3 day training session for really experienced divers. They created formations. Many 20 person teams went up. It took 2 planes to haul them all. They practiced the formation on the ground multiple times. The formations break apart from the outside and do their descent. They would all land, one after the other in the landing area. They made it look so easy!Read more
