Amazon 7 #2 January 15, 2005 Well I drove around a bit while I was there and there is a lot of agriculture so I would guess those kinds of jobs are there... oh and the Detension facility just east of the DZ... and I know there is what looks like a plant that makes HUGE styrofoam billits... I am sure there are other things.. but hey its still fairly far to Phoenix and Tuscon..When we did the night jumps. its amazing how much the city areas to the north have grown south.. I dont think there is very much dark area between Phoenix Mesa Tempe Casa Grande..LOTS of light just to the north Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I heard the locals talk about 5000 homes Yep, I was wondering at Christmas whether that might cause a problem for Skydive AZ. Sounds like they'd better make friends with the new residents before they become enemies. Wonder whether they could offer 5,000 free tandems?
