You step into a bright staging room, suit rustling around your shoulders, and then the building hums—an 800-horsepower heartbeat promising controlled free-fall. Through the viewing windows the wind tunnel glows, a tube of air that will lift you cleanly off the floor and hold you aloft while an instructor hovers beside you, hands ready to guide.
