The Blue — Local services in Town of Gardiner

planes from the blue sky ranch often fly illegally and dangerously low over residential areas. the staff refuses to acknowledge this as an issue. the pilots sometimes make sharp banking descents, while only a few hundred feet from the ground, over traffic and houses. the FAA laws say that planes must be at least 1000 feet from the ground, approximately the height of a 100 story building. if anyone sees them flying too low, get a video and send it to the FAA, include the identifying number on the tail of the plane.

UPDATE/EDIT: ive lived here for about 20 years. i only noticed the planes flying too low in the past 5 years, they didnt used to do this. i have told blue sky ranch about this problem. they told me that they dont fly that low and insulted me. i asked them to promise me that they wouldnt fly that low, they did. then they flew illegally low many more times that day and over the past few years. i have video and will be sending it to the faa. there is no need for insults. your rudeness only shows that i am probably right. i never said that they arent safe to jump at, only that they sometimes fly illegally and dangerously low, which they do. someone has died there, but thats could just be the law of averages, its bound to happen eventually. what does being in a capitalist or communist country have to do with following established federal aviation guidelines? you think they should be allowed to fly too low? i see small plane crashes in the national news fairly often. they sometimes crash into houses with innocent people inside, which is why i am worried. even a skilled pilot shouldnt fly too low, because its dangerous. ive even been to some of their parties at the ranch, they get pretty...

I have enjoyed the professional, and strict safety at Blue Sky Ranch. I have full confidence in the pilots who fly me to 13,500 feet on a regular basis. The competence of the staff here is unparalleled and first class. The atmosphere is positive and friendly, with a great sense of skydiving community. I love to call Blue Sky Ranch my home DZ. This is the place to come for a world class experience... for your first jump or your next jumpcation.

Randy Watson is a skydive hater. His inaccurate claims about the flights are simply false and he has no clue how professional, safe and considerate the pilots are at Blue Sky Ranch. The FAA is a competent agency which has full confidence in the operations at Blue Sky Ranch. This is painfully obvious, due to the outstanding status of Blue Sky Ranch's FAA license. By the way... Blue Sky Ranch has been in operation for more than 30 years... so why the sudden concern Randy? Did you recently buy property near this existing airport and decide they should put up with your crap now? or... did you just become literate and decide to write something negative after 30 years? Either way... there are many other places you should go live... perhaps...

My wife made her first tandem there with a wonderful instructor and video cameraman. Staff was professional...
