You step into the aircraft as Dubai’s skyline shrinks beneath you and the Palm Jumeirah etches itself into the water — the city frames your takeoff, the horizon dares you to look down. The jump wastes no time: a minute of freefall at 120 mph, then a calm canopy glide with the Persian Gulf glinting to one side and the mainland stretching toward the desert on the other.
