- A large, modern turbine dropzone at Tracy on the edge of the Central Valley, a popular home base for Bay Area and valley jumpers — a Twin Otter climbing fast to ~14,000 ft, a strong AFF program, and an active licensed community, plus a slick tandem experience. Convenient drive from the East Bay. The valley brings summer heat and some afternoon wind, so morning loads are often best; reserve ahead, confirm weight limits, arrive early on weekends, expect occasional weather holds.
