DC-9 Airliner Type Tandem Skydiving
Jump out of a Jet
Unparalleled Adventure
Have you ever looked out the window of a commercial flight and wondered what it would be like to jump out mid-air? At Skydive Perris, you can turn that dream into reality with our exclusive tandem jumps from a jet! As the only place in the world offering this extraordinary experience, we invite you to be part of something truly unique and unforgettable.
Faster Than Terminal Velocity
Why Is The DC9 So Special?
Our Douglas DC-9 is the world’s only skydiving jet! She flies only for special events on specific dates, and her jump run speed is around 140 to 160 mph. Since average skydiving tandem pairs fall at about 120 mph, you will start your jump decelerating to YOUR terminal velocity. Because tandem jumpers are last to exit, they get to sit in First Class during the short trip to altitude and walk all the way to the tail when it’s time to exit.
Jet Tandem
What To Expect
First Class Skydiving Experience
The climb to altitude takes approximately four to six minutes. Boarding everybody and getting the aircraft ready to go will take more time than the actual flight. On your way up, you’ll have the luxury of first-class accommodations! Please leave the seatbacks and tray tables in their upright and stowed positions—the cocktails will come after you land!
Exit! Exit! Exit!
As you exit, it’s a run-out-style exit. The jet flies fast and other tandem pairs will be jumping with you. Don’t hesitate, work with your tandem master, and trust us. The most exciting tandem skydive of your life is right outside the door.
Freefall
At approximately 13,500’ AGL, you’ll exit the jet and begin to freefall! You’ll speed through the clear-blue California sky at 120 mph (after deceleration) for an amazing time!
Deployment
At about 5,000 feet, your tandem instructor will deploy the parachute, treating you to sweet views of sunny Southern California for 5-10 minutes! What will be your first words after this extraordinary experience?
