Aircraft
At Glidersports Skydiving you will find nothing but the best in aircraft. We fly the newest, safest, and fastest planes in the region.
Beechcraft 99.
No other aircraft in the area can boast the safety, efficiency, and comfort of this rockstar of a plane. Not to mention the largest door you will find south of Chicago or north of Texas. What makes a Beech 99 better than what else is out there? The Beech 99 boasts 1,360 horse power. This means we can get you and up to 17 other friends in the air faster, higher, and at a lower cost.
Cessna U206
The newest addition to our fleet is still being prepared to meet Glidersports standards. Our Cessna 206 will feature all the above average standards that you are used to with our planes. More space then the 182 but lower minimums then the Beech 99 means more jumps! This is a utility model with a roll-up door.
