The 2025 skydiving season is officially here! Join us for dropzone opening week as we kick things off with Safety Day, gear checks, refresher training, and—of course—plenty of skydives! From hop and pops to high-altitude jumps, it's time to shake off the rust and get back in the sky. Whether you're a licensed skydiver, AFF student, or just love all things skydiving, this video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at life at the DZ as the season begins. We cover everything from canopy flight, gear checks, and emergency procedures to the pure stoke of jumping with friends again. You'll see skydiving formations, freeflying, belly jumps, and maybe even a little tracking and angle flying. Plus, stick around for a look at the aircraft we jump from—whether it's a Cessna 182, Caravan, or Twin Otter, aviation is at the heart of everything we do. If you're into general aviation, parachutes, pilots, or the wild world of human flight, you're in the right place. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more content on skydiving, flying, and life at the dropzone! ✈️🪂 #skydiving #aviation #dropzone #parachuting #pilotlife #jumpseason #safetyday #flight #canopy #extremesports #AFF #funjump #generalaviation #DZlife

Flying My Dog for the First Time 🐾 | Preparing for Airplane Camping Adventures In this video, I take my dog flying in my airplane for the very first time to prepare him for airplane camping this summer. As a pilot and professional skydiver, I want to make sure my dog is completely comfortable with every part of the flying experience before we head out on longer aviation adventures together. We go step-by-step through the process of introducing him to general aviation: Sitting in the cockpit with the engine off Starting the engine and getting used to the noise Taxiing around the airport And finally, a short flight around the pattern He crushed the ground portion like a pro, but once we took off, he definitely got more nervous in the air. I kept the flight short and smooth so we could build up his confidence gradually. If you're a pilot flying with dogs or planning to go airplane camping with pets, this video shows how I’m easing my pup into it the safe way. ✈️ Dog-friendly flying tips? I’d love to hear them—drop them in the comments! 🐶 Subscribe for more aviation, skydiving, and travel adventures! #FlyingWithDogs #AirplaneCamping #BackcountryFlying #DogCamping #PilotDog #AviationLife #GeneralAviation #DogAdventure #BushFlying #FlightTraining #FlyingDog #PilotVlog #SkydiverLife #AdventureDog #DogFriendlyTravel
