Facilities/Aircraft

The Hangar
Skydive Dallas is a premier skydiving center with over 10 years experience in offering you the best skydiving experience in North Texas.  We're open all year.  (Click Here for Hours of Operation.)  We had your comfort in mind when we designed our hanger with  an AIR CONDITIONED Lobby and Classrooms, an observation deck so you can watch the skydives, clean, attractive, indoor restrooms, with running water, and two large carpeted indoor packing areas.  Remember to stop by our Pro Shop.  We have a variety of items such as Tee Shirt, Skydiving Jewelry, and more to commemorate your skydive.

The Dive
Our onsite cafe, "The Dive," offers a variety of sandwiches, buritos, burgers, fries, appetizers.  (No Alcohol is allowed during skydiving hours.)  Bring your appetite.  We have a lot of people who come out just to eat at the cafe, and watch the skydivers from the deck.  We even have vegetarian selections!

Aircraft Department
We are understandably proud of our flight department. Our airplanes are maintained to the highest standards. We use professional pilots who are trained and retrained specifically for skydiving operations in our aircraft. If you have any questions about our airplanes, feel free to speak to our Chief Pilot, Mike Vinther.

Dehaviland Super Otter
The ultimate skydiving airplane. The "Super Otter" is used by more drop zones than any other twin engine aircraft. A "Super Otter" can carry 22 skydivers to 13,500 in just 13 minutes!!!!!  Powered by two reliable PT6-27 engines, our Twin Otter is painted school bus yellow and has bench seating for your comfort.  This airplane was invited to participate in the World Record 300-Way Skydive in 2003.  Click Here to See the 300-Way Skydive

Cessna Super Caravan
This is our trademark airplane. The Caravan was the first turbine aircraft purchased by Skydive Dallas in 1993 and is still the workhorse of the fleet.  We have more experience flying skydivers in a Caravan than any other operator!  Now powered by an upgraded turbine engine, this is the fastest climbing Caravan flying skydivers.  It can carry 15 jumpers to altitude in about 12 minutes.  It's wide in-flight door allows easy exits for both Tandems and  AFF students.

Cessna Skylane
No drop zone would be complete without this venerable single engine Cessna. More skydivers have made their first jumps from 182's than all other airplanes combined times 10. This versatile plane is still commonly used by smaller DZ's. Skydive Dallas uses its 182 to help out wherever necessary.
