I made the easy 25 minute drive, went to VES looking to make some fun jumps, though I'd heard it was mainly a tandem operation. I was immediately made to feel right at home by the friendly staff in spite of how organized/busy they seemed with students, they got me in the air right away. Made a few the first day, came back for more. Definitely "fun jump" friendly. No little Cessna to wrangle out of, I love the PAC 750XL aircraft! Have recommended 3 family and friends so far to make their first jumps in the last month, all have had a very positive experience. Perhaps the negative reviews are written by back biting competitors disguised as customers? Vegas Extreme is a great place to make your tandem, is fun jumper friendly and super close to Las Vegas.
