 Skydiving History

Hawaii history trivia:  Did you know that the first parachute jump in Hawaii was made way back in November 1889 before there were airplanes?  The first records of any flight in Hawaii go back to July 1889 with Professor Melville flying in a hot air balloon off Punchbowl.  On November 18, 1889, a balloon flight was made by Mr. Joseph Van Tassell also off the slopes of Punchbowl.  As the trade winds took the balloon out to sea, Van Tassell parachuted out of the balloon into Keehi Lagoon.  In February 1897 Professor James Price flew in a balloon ascending to 3,000 feet above "Remond Grove" on Oahu before parachuting safely back to earth.

Customers enjoy the lower carbon footprint of this aircraft as compared to a twin engine.   Our Caravan, N9454F, has been painted by Ron Artis of Haleiwa.  You'll want your picture taken by this work of Art...is.   

Flying above the clouds and falling through the Hawaiian skies at 120mph is an adventure you will always remember and treasure. 

On a clear day, it is possible to see the other Hawaiian Islands. Whales are back for the winter months.

After your parachute opens, you can take in a view of Oahu few people ever see.  As you fly to the landing area, you see spectacular views of Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Kaena Point, and the North Shore coastline.  You can also see whales and other marine life. 

You may wish to purchase a DVD and photographs of your event to share with family and friends.
