jump2live 0 #1 June 15, 2010 Hi, I was curious if anybody had anything good or bad to say about Taft Skydive in CA? I am thinking about going there to do my AFF and A license near the middle of July. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I'm very interested to hear what you have to say about this facility. Especially if you have recently done your AFF there, camped on the property, or maybe even work there. Thank you for your time and input! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose your way is more direct. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jump2live 0 #5 June 15, 2010 Hi kmills, Thank you for the message. I did check those out but most of the reviews were from several years ago. I was hoping to get someone who had been there sometime more recently that could share some info on the size and popularity of the camping area. I know there web-site says they are dog friendly as long as it's on a leash, and that they have a specific area for them to play, but I would need to have somewhere shaded to keep my dog while I learned to jump. I e-mailed them but haven't heard back yet, and thought maybe someone on here would be able to tell me through personal experience with taking a dog there and camping!
