Drop zone founders Larry and Liliane Hill started out in the skydiving business at a gravel airstrip north of Phoenix with a single Cessna 182 in January of 1978. As their operation grew, it became apparent they would need more space, and in 1986 they moved to Coolidge, Arizona to start Skydive Arizonaâ„¢. Soon the drop zone had grown to four Cessnas, four Beeches, and two DC-3s.In 1990 Skydive Arizonaâ„¢ obtained its first turbine airplane, a Westwind Beech. Business continued to grow and a new location was sought out that would allow for further expansion. Work began on the new DZ at Eloy (just 10 miles from Coolidge) in February of 1991, and the new facility opened for business in April of 1991. Since then, Skydive Arizonaâ„¢ has grown into the world’s largest skydiving center, averaging over 135,000 jumps per year.Meet the Manager
