VISITOR BOOK COMMENTS

Troy Troutman – 1st Tandem.  Awesome experience.  Adrian was an Excellent Instructor.  I will be back.  I will also be smiling for a week.

Katrina Fawcett – Amazing experience.  I once heard that it’s not the jump that makes a man, it’s the man that makes the jump!  In this case Sara is the man.  Thanks.

Aaron Payne – I have no words 😃

Brian Robertson – Amazing speech loss.
