Skydive Chicago has several different types of planes to meet a skydiver's needs. In addition to our own fleet, we often host events to bring in novelty aircraft such as helicopters, Hot air balloons, Tailgate exit aircraft, and aerobatic planes.  

See our events page for upcoming boogies.

Because the DeHavilland Twin Otter (DCH-6) is a highly maneuverable aircraft which can be flown slowly (80-160 knots/150-300 km/hr) and in tight circles, these aircraft are considered extremely versatile. The Twin Otter is a high-winged, turbine powered aircraft that seats 23 people.  Our Otters have been upgraded to the largest engines you can get which means more airtime for you.  SDC has the fastest jump planes in the midwest.   

This Pratt & Whitney powered Cessna can take 16 jumpers to 13,000 feet in 17 minutes.

The 182 is a common jump plane that can take 4 jumpers to 12,000 feet in 18 minutes.
