Skydive Oregon operates large turbine aircrafts, Cessna 850 HP Caravans and Grand Caravans that hold big groups. Due to their powerful turbine engines, tandem parties of four to six or larger groups are quickly carried to the jump altitude of 13,000 feet from where one will enjoy panoramic views of Portland, the Willamette Valley or the beautiful Cascade Mountains. But there is something for everyone at Skydive Oregon.

Whether you are a first time jumper, a continuing student, an experienced bellyflyer, wingsuiter or freeflyer, you won't be bored there. Where else you get a freefall for almost a minute on your first tandem skydive?

Skydive Oregon provided first professional jump instruction in Molalla Oregon already in 1988 and over 100,000 have jumped from their turbine aircraft since then. Many of their instructors and regular jumpers also hold multiple national and world records, including the current world record 400-way formation in Thailand - you will be in good hands if you choose to give Skydive Oregon a try.
