This is one of 3, (in the US) wind tunnels where skydivers learn to manuver during freefall. This one is located in Eloy, AZ.

Neat subject, # 1 Looks like a rocket turned upside down. Are you thinking about trying it?

Thanks Don, Would love to try it but at $34 per 2 minutes it's a little rich for my blood! Jim

That should be equal to speed human achieves in free fall because at that speed force caused by airflow (/"drag") is equal to gravity and they cancel each other.

PS. Everything can fly, it's just a question of speed.
