cdcollura 4 #8 June 13, 2009 Bummer as this nice and fast jump platform seems to have faded out of the skydiving community. Has anyone heard about the Perris Jet? Or did fuel costs / politics moth-ball it indefinitely?Fly High ... Don't "Get High"! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
