Many students from CMU have made their first skydives at Canton Air Sports. There are three types of jump experiences to choose from: static line, tandem, or the Accelerated Freefall Program.

Static Line Jumps

  • Plane reaches 3,500 feet
  • Climb out of the plane and hang from the wing strut
  • Parachute is automatically deployed a few seconds after you let go
  • Little or no sensation of freefall
  • Easily steer yourself, enjoy the view, and come in for a radio-assisted landing
Jump Type Regular Price Explorers Club Price
First Static Line Jump $179 $149
Subsequent Static Line Jumps $59 $54

Tandem Jumps

  • Connected to a trainer all the way down
  • Higher altitude of around 10,500 feet
