Missouri River Valley Skydivers, Henrietta

There are some important—and impressive—numbers behind skydiving experiences with Missouri River Valley Skydivers. Here are some digits to keep in mind before you jump:

• Up to 13,000: the number of feet you can ascend into the sky.
• 120: the mph speed of your free fall.
• Up to 60: the number of seconds your free fall can last; after that, falling turns into floating as you coast gently back to the ground.

Another number to keep in mind: 1974. That's the year Missouri River Valley Skydivers opened its facility, cementing it as an authority in the skydiving industry. Today, the company's setup features an onsite snack shop, a covered observation area, and 160 acres of safe, unobstructed landing area completely void of hazards and quicksand.
