The only place in Arizona where you will find that equipment or opportunity is Skydive AZ. They may allow someone to ride right seat, if the flight isn't a training flight, but will charge the cost of a jump ticket. Not really much to be learned from riding along. For those seeking a job, there's 100 hours of training and a 18 month contract.
