The wind arrives first — a steady, invisible column that promises lift. Step into iFLY San Diego and the building’s hum becomes purposeful: briefing rooms, suits hanging like armor, an instructor who measures your posture with a practiced eye. After a short safety talk you suit up, clip hair back, and feel the tunnel’s breath grow from a whisper to a roar as you float above the padded floor.
