Limited only by Imagination.
 
On this show to open the Indianapolis Zoo, my jumper has just touched down carying a giant pair of scissors which she delivered to the dignitaries sitting inside the giant giraffe's head.  The head was fashioned onto a bucket-lift truck.  They took the giant scissors when the head moved upward to cut the huge ribbon draped overhead.  You can see the ribbon that I made crossing the upper right of the photo.
(The brown area at top center is her parachute which had not colapsed yet.)
 
Special Deliveries - Deliveries might include most anything you can imagine.  We have delivered prizes to winners, props to actors, car keys to birthday wives, bonus checks to employees, scripts to announcers, flags to race officials, diamond rings to brides-to-be, champagne and flowers to bride & groom, and scissors to ribbon cutters.  Once we scattered decorated ping pong balls over the crowd which had coupons for free food. We can even deliver people using tandem skydiving equipment, but there are major restrictions and cautions on this idea.
 
What can we bring to your event?
 
Special Targets - We have landed on frisbees tossed into the target area by children in the audience. They wrote their names inside the frisbee and the jumpers determined the prize winner(s) by which frisbee they landed on or closest to.  We have landed on numbered targets which became winning numbers for lottery or raffle.  We have landed on moving floats in parades.  We have landed on roof tops.  We landed in a swimming pool filled with grapes at a wine festival.  We have landed on boats and piers.  And of course, we have splashed down many times in water. 
 
Plans to land on Mike Cervi's bull are still pending.  They tell me he's really tame.
We are beginning work on new specialty landing performances.
Please Stay Tuned.

Special Aircraft - As a licensed pilot and aircraft mechanic I can quickly determine the safest way to jump from most aerial vehicles.

Do you have special aircraft associated with you event or your staff?

Logo Canopies - We especially enjoy long relationships with extra special clients. The average lifespan of a logo canopy is around 700 jumps. Some can last for more than a thousand jumps.
