I decided to spend a free day on my business trip at Skydive Eagle's Nest, and it sure was worth a 2-hour drive. A small place with family-like feeling to it. Great bunch of people -- friendly and professional. C-182 in a good shape. Good spots. A lot of open space to land. I wish the packing area was a little larger. I guess I was a bit unlucky to get nasty gusty winds (landed out once in spiky mesquite shrubs -- ouch!), but, according to locals, this kind of weather is quite unusual there, so it doesn't qualify for a con. Keep in mind the DZ ground elevation of about 3,000' -- you can definitely feel it, and it was enough to screw up my landing flare. This elevation probably explains why they only go to 10,000' AGL...

Would I go there again, if I happen to be in the area? Most definitely! David -- two thumbs up for running this great place! :)

I spent a day off on my business trip at Skydive Space Center. I just want to say big thanks to everyone making it such a great place! Friendly and helpful people, well-organized loads, 15,500' standard on every jump. The view from above is spectacular! Too bad there was a problem with King Air, so that 18,000' load didn't happen. Maybe, next time... On summer afternoons winds and thunderstorms are almost guaranteed, so plan to be there early. If I ever again come to the area, I will definitely be back. Go there, you'll enjoy your every minute at Skydive Space Center!
