It's been a while for me, but CMS was where I felt good about learning and trusting the staff to teach me when I went thru static line jumps and AFF. And I really enjoyed the down time while waiting my turn for a plane. AndcIve git tons of good memories, and photos to remember the good times from then.
Initially it was an amazing diverse staff, and owned and run by pilot Dez Sharkey & girlfriend, MaryAnn(?). Over the next few years staff, regular jumpers and clients all changed. I think Dez sold the DZ to one its tandem instructions, Scott, and the times I went after that, it seemed pretty quiet. I sadly felt the overall vibe was really different.
I went back a few years later to find it shutdown. Anybody know the whole story?
Thanks.
