Museum in Granite
If you haven’t attended our Reunions and gatherings at the Museum in Granite before, now is the time to see it and join other Pioneers and Legends of Skydiving.
History of Humanity in Granite.
For those who have been to a Reunion in Felicity, you know it is a GREAT TIME!
- See the amazing museum in the Yuma desert.
- Meet Jacques Istel – Parachuting Grandfather of our sport and the Mayor of Felicity, CA.
- Walk down the Museum of History in Granite – two-inch-thick granite walls inscribed with everything Jacques thinks is worth telling to future generations.
- Step inside the Pyramid and stand on the disk that is the Official Center of the World.
- Walk up to the Church on the Hill (Jacques trucked in over 150,000 tons of earth to build the hill).
- Legends and Pioneers signing logbooks and telling tales (all true) how from humble beginnings our sport evolved.
- Larry Hill from Skydive Arizona is supplying us with our own private aircraft to jump right into the Museum area.
