Friendly, Warm, Welcoming DZ

I went to AerOhio because I was home for the weekend and wanted to jump. I had never been there before. Everyone there is cool, and the DZO personally welcomed me and hooked me up with some R/W guys. They too were very friendly and welcoming. The drive from Cleveland is 35 minutes. It is in farmland with LOTS of outs. I was travelling light and didn't bring a helmet, I intended to rent one and the DZO was kind enough to let me borrow one. I met some nice guys doing R/W and we made about three jumps. The spots were all good with no problems making it back even when I burned up 1,000 feet looking for the DZ in the wrong direction. The landing area is soooo big that if you land far out they will come and get you in the DZ golf cart. The jumpship is a Caravan which is plenty roomy and just slow enough to let you really get acquainted with the local jumpers on the way up. Everyone wanted to chit-chat and introduce themselves. I'm glad that I went, and will go back again and again. The only reason I did not give the DZ all 5's is because I don't particularly like porta John's but that wont stop me from going back. They even have a little place for kids to play,...nice touch.

While visiting a friend in clevland, I needed to kill some time. Drove the hour down to Aerohio and it was worth it!!!!!

I've been to many high profile dropzones lately, and really grew tired of the cold vibe, "hi, where ya from? Thats cool...bye" That did not happen here. I arrived and was quickly introduced to the two other fun jumpers there at the time. After a very through DZ briefing (some say it is difficult to spot the DZ), we began planning our four way. I did not even have to ask!!!

By the time the pilot showed up, one tandem and one AFF showed up, and guess what? ...WE TOOK THE OTTER!!! 8 people in an otter is pretty wild for me!

The whole way up, the staff was pointing out landmarks to help me find my way. To be honest, I can understand how one could become confused finding the DZ, but don't sweat it. Just watch the others on your load after deployment if you become desprate.

On the next jump 2 people volenteered to help me sit fly. They were very safty consience, all while helping me get in the air to learn.

After it was all said and done, they even invited me to dinner! That blew me away! Had alot of fun with them that night. Even was invited up for the next weekend. They really made me feel at home.

If your anywhere in ohio, make the drive. Great people at that dropzone! I for sure will head back there!

Turbine DZ with Cessna DZ atmosphere

Review of: Aerohio

The staff & owners are exceedingly professional and friendly. Coach jumps are formalized in writing delineating each point of performance, but most of those "Coach" rated don't charge for more than the slot. A down to earth, easy-going atmosphere that's like a Cessna DZ that just happens to have a turbine. I was welcomed, embraced, introduced around and immediately accepted into doing group jumps. RW'ers & FF'ers get along well, jumping together, filling loads with each other. Give yourself about five jumps to really recognize where the DZ is from altitude. Allow others from the DZ to spot for you for the first few jumps. Everything is flat and green with few landmarks. Fellow skydivers recognize this and point out little things to help you get used to the layout. If you're in the Cleveland/Columbus area, it's a great place to jump even if you have one day.

Professional and skill-diverse staff. Welcoming , open atmosphere. Owner , Sherry, participates in most loads, organizing, instructing AFF or static line students ,taking still and videos of jumpers engaged in various activities , from tandem jumps to intricate formations. The food from the concession stand is very good, the facilities and grounds are clean, and maintained in a way that reinforces the perception of an organization that is professionally managed at every level. Manifest is highly efficient, loads are filled and scheduled even during extremely busy periods. A place to feel welcome, feel safe and enjoy.................

I drove out on a Saturday morning with only time for 1 jump and a repack. I was treated with exceptional courtesy although the waiver was a lot to wade through. I was given a pre-jump brief using thier aerial photo and a really great guy by the name of Craig came looking for me. He offered to do some RW and stayed with me through the entire process. I felt like I was home. Their Caravan is a really great plane and the ride was very pleasant. I'm going again, often!

Not sure what to think?!

Rated by: rocketdog on 2004-06-16 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Aerohio
Pros: Very safety-conscious people/vibe
Cons: Not friendly

AerOhio is a very open, clean facility. The DZOs (Tim & Sherry) were EXTREMELY accommodating & friendly.... I wish I could say the same for the rest of the DZ. During my 5 hour stay there, ONE PERSON bothered to approach me (& that was for a simple "hello, I'm Gary"). I realize that I could've approached people as well, but did not feel any sort of inviting vibe from anyone but the DZOs.

Although the DZ is exceptionally safe, I found it to be unfriendly & therefore, would hesitate to return.
