An IA Exclusive - The New "Double HALO"

Because No One Should Jump Just Once

Schedule a "double HALO" and you'll make two incredible high-altitude, military style skydives in the very same day.  Your second jump will be timed to occur just before sunset, to insure an incredible view of the setting sun and the land below.

Our high-altitude jump operations are based at the West Tennessee Skydiving Center, located a little over an hour from Memphis.  Halojumpers leap from a modified B90 King Air aircraft.  The extreme altitude of the jump means all skydivers are fitted with special oxygen equipment and parachutes.

"HALO" stands for "high altitude, low open".  In the military, HALO jumps are made to help troops avoid detection by enemy forces.  The jump profile gets soldiers on the ground quickly and can help them surprise the enemy.  We jump from approximately 30,000 feet, which provides twice the high-speed freefall of a standard jump, and open a little higher than the military would, in order to give jumpers time to enjoy the incredible view.

No prior skydiving experience is required.  All Double HALO Skydives are tandem jumps, so you'll fall toward earth tightly strapped to an experienced skydiver, certified as a tandem instructor by the United States Parachuting Association. 

Availability is limited.The cost for training, use of jump and video equipment and two High Altitude Skydives is $7700.  Single jump adventures are also available. Call or email for more info.

Fly Faster than the Speed of Sound and Twice as High as Everest

It's always a great time to fly a MiG over Russia, but if extreme altitude is your goal, it's best to schedule your Edge of Space flight for a winter month.  The MiG-29 performs best and flies highest in cold weather.

Dare to fly over 60,000 feet high at more than 1000 mph.  At altitude, the sky appears black above and blue below.  Russia is currently the only place in the world where a civilian can fly that high and that fast.

No pilot's license is necessary.  You'll fly with an experienced Russian test pilot at the Nizhny Novgorod Aircraft Building Plant Sokol.
