And just to add something.
Our group was the first group in the air on Saturday, we left the ground just before 7:30am and that plane only stopped long enough to fuel up until darkness fell on the field. When we woke up the next morning, things had already begun again. This is a mix of tandem, first solo flights and indi's.
While talking with some of the instructors that we jumped with at the end of the day around the fire. They said it is like this every weekend throughout the summer, except when rain slows them down. My instructor jumped with 15 different people that day and was on every other flight up. 31 flights that day and not a single space available for anyone that wanted to repeat that day or the following.
The most interesting thing about the freefall, was how sharp the temp change was. One minute you are COLD and then instantly you are hit with the temp of a mid-July morning. I would have thought it to be more gradual, but it was literally a slap of change.
