  1. Mike Mullins and his staff are exceptional. We went there this weekend and made several jumps. the DZ was slow because of the Thanksgiving holiday but we still got all the jumps we wanted. If you haven't experienced a 7 minute ride to altitude, this is the place. The King Air is comfortable and fast! Mike is a great pilot. My girlfriend doesn't have her A license yet, but was very comfortable jumping here. She rented gear and it is all new and fit her well. She loved jumping there and wants to go back. My son had not jumped in 7 years and got his recurrency here this weekend too. All of us were impressed with the DZ. I can not say enough good things about the place. Blue Skies!
  2. After reading all the great reviews I had to visit myself. Skydive Dallas has awesome facilities and aircraft. The staff were courteous, professional, and very safety conscious. I will be spending every other weekend there.
  3. Spinning canopy at 3000 feet, time for the back-up plan. PDR-160 loaded at 1.4 flew great! Practiced landings once before landing and made it back. Was not mushy, and turned nicely. I did not have to take any line wraps or have any built in turns. More expensive, but worth it. I will always have a PD reserve for myself and my family members.
  4. I have 1200 jumps on a combination of Sabre 150's, Jedei 150's, Vengeance 150's, and Stilleto 135's. I have no cutaways in 1200 jumps. I put 15 jumps on my new XAOS 135. Of the 15 jumps 4 had such terrible line twists that I rode it way too long. I should have cut it away all 4 times but didn't. It had a very long snivel then wound up at the end of the 1000 ft. snivel. Once the canopy was open it was VERY ground hungry. The landings very fast and fun. (Only for the highly experienced)
