    Thanks again everybody. I was only able to leave a msg at Eugene Skydivers, so we'll see if they get back to me. Admittedly, judging from information on the respective websites, Eugene had some appeal as they don't indicate a tandem jump requirement before entering the AFF program. Skydive Oregon did, so I was a little more amped to make the drive to Eugene. Of course, with what tetra says, that sounds like a moot point. Thanks again!

    @NWFlyer: Wow! Thanks for the quick response. I had a feeling it was some sort of service aggregator or something. Thanks for clarifying. I took your advice and USPA lists Eugene as a DZ, so next I'll give them a call. Thanks again!

    Howdy all! I'm in the investigation phase of finding a place to try my first jump. I found some great reviews here for a few places in Oregon, but one facility I cannot find anything on: Oregon Skydiving (not to be confused with Skydive Oregon). Looking closer at the site, and then doing some web surfing, I can see that it appears to be a very--what's the word--cookie cutter style site. In other words, there is a Skydiving Alabama site which is the same, save the state name. Arizona, etc.. Probably one for every state, who knows. My main question is if anyone can speak about this "franchise", or might have better information? The site is oregonskydiving.com. However, the contact for corporate is in Kennesaw, GA. FWIW, I'm leaning towards Eugene Skydivers based on reviews I've read. Thanks to anyone who can shed a little light on my preliminary research. Cheers!
