Sky Dive Arizona is located nearby in Eloy and is "sky diving central" for skydivers from all over the world - including military training. They have an indoor wind tunnel, an equipment shop, sleeping quarters, a café and of course a saloon! We went out around noon - had lunch at the outdoor café and then watched the airplanes take off, drop their skydivers, and then eventually saw the jumpers "blossom" in the air - they look like butterfly's floating downward. We set up our lawn chairs right along one of the grassy areas where they land and sat and watched them all afternoon. Roger and I have never seen jumpers landing like that and it was so interesting. We were amazed at the wide range of ages - teenagers to 80 year olds! They offered tandem jumps and they were fun to watch land - especially, first timers that loved it! Personally, I was comfortable in my lawn chair! Can't get my video to download!
