Thank You the man from Kansas. I do believe most skydivers have more money than brains as our man from Kansas has proved. I also know of 2 other clubs with a similar price to Kansas around Buffalo NY (1.5 - 8 hour drive).
Please guys lets get real.
I have done my homework on the sport, jumped different places, I am a pilot, and know the equipment mark up is more than 10x, have degrees in business and finance, have real life experience.
Please understand "non-profit" status is ONLY used to AVOID TAXATION. This term is NOT a true reflection upon the economic activity of an organization. PLEASE do NOT make comments about something you know NOTHING of...!
There is alot of PROFIT in sport activities, it ia a multi billion dollar industry.
Thanks again to Kansas Skydiver for EDUCATING us all. There are similar places in the North East as well.
