A North Texas skydiving company is being called racist for rules posted on its website that bar anyone in the U.S. illegally from jumping out of one of the company’s planes.
But the company’s owner has doubled down on its stance.
Skydive Tandem Greenville, also known as Dallas Skydive Lodge, has a series of “requirements” posted on the company’s website — sort of a “know-before-you-go” set of disclaimers for tandem skydivers. They detail the maximum weight per skydiver and the company’s minimum age requirements.

Don’t you need legal identification to get on an airplane.
Their posing is redundant of regulations already in place.
To: DFG
Good for them.
If I ever wanted to jump out of a perfectly good airplane for no reason, I’ll look them up......

They should be thankful for that much grace. Some places further south let people go skydiving without the ‘chute.

How about a compromise? Let them skydive. Only have them do it while the plane is in mexican airspace. And dont come back for them.

Make them jump back to their own country..Physically impossible from North Texas: you're a good 400 miles from the Mexican border, winds are usually westerly, and Oklahoma sucks.

For those who don't want to visit the Startlegram...
rules that prompted the accusations were these:
"You must be able to read/write/speak fluent English so you can understand and fill out legal paperwork, and we can communicate."
"If you are in this country illegally please go home and skydive in your own country. We don’t want any money you obtained in the USA illegally."
Way to go!

Don’t you need legal identification to get on an airplane. No. General Aviation operates under entirely different rules from Commercial Aviation.

They keep using that word, but I don’t think they know what it means.

The company, which is located about 40 miles east of Dallas, is owned by Hank Schraeder. As if they weren't awesome enough already!

“I was going to go tomorrow, but I don’t support racism,” one reviewer wrote.
Well do you support common sense?
