Where to Skydive in Oregon

The breathtaking scenery of Oregon includes oceans, mountains, and deserts. The seas of the Pacific Ocean dance across beaches of beautiful white sand; the mountains: majestic peaks dancing with the hues of the horizon; the desert: a parched, yet inviting, parcel that longs for your interest. Of these spectacles, an unlikely addition enlists attention; far above the horizon, a minuscule spec draws the eye. A bird….a plane? An insane fanatic that has abandoned a perfectly good aircraft? Bingo!! While not completely insane, skydivers have taken to the air in droves to experience the scenery at a never before seen viewpoint. Oregon from the sky has prove to be an ever inviting objective for skydiving fanatics and mere admirers alike.

Over the years, five major skydiving centers have emerged in Oregon: Eugene Skydivers, Central Oregon Skysports, Skydive Eagle Creek, Skydive Oregon, Inc. and Wright Brothers Skydiving.

• Eugene Skydivers, offering tandem, AFF, and static line jumping, this facility does not boast many of the commercial amenities as others, but provides lower costs as a result of this.
• Central Oregon Sky Sports, providing an incredible view of the Cascade Mountains, offers tandem and static line jumping. This site also focuses on the basics and does not offer many amenities.
• Skydive Eagle Creek, offering tandem and static line jumping, is one of the less known drop zones in Oregon. Although it does offer some additional amenities, such as a pool, this facility is a little less popular than its counterparts.
• Skydive Oregon, Inc. is an incredibly prevalent drop zone. Offering tandem and AFF, this facility is known for constantly having planes in the air and having some of the most exceptional planes in the industry.
• Wright Brothers Skydiving, offering tandem and static line jumping, also offers all the basics in a skydiving drop zone. Although there is no pool or bar, this facility is held in the best regard as being one of the best in the business.

No matter your experience level, you owe it to yourself to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Oregon countryside. While ground level is impressive, it is nothing to compare with a bird’s eye view.
