Yuma Proving Grounds, watching some soldiers, sailors airmen and Marines jumping from aircraft at 12,500 feet. Nice facility, lots of good instructors, nice equipment!
MFF school is in capable hands.
Thank you Warrior Mentor for taking the time to show me around!

Ah the days. I've jumped YPG, but before the school was moved there.

Must have been a good day TS-of course, EVERY day in FreeFall is a good day:D

Spent two years testing parachute stuff including some HALO/HAHO projects in the early '80s. Seeing viseo of Phillips DZ brings back very fond memories. The bar that Doc referred to was the Dome Center Bar aka Snake Pit which was a better description. Rosey and her girls were a sight and a lot of fun. I commuted from town and we had the bar locations marked so I was not without a beer on the way home. Great tour!
