Review of: Skydive East Tennessee
Pros: Very up-jumper friendly, brand new facilities, 7 days/ wk operation!
Cons: Big ways are only 6 jumpers so far but is that really so bad?

I came to this dropzone with no advance notice and was picked up and introduced to the crew VIP style in short order. Despite AFF students making jumps and a tandem making her second I still found myself on 2 loads. There is no bumping up-jumpers here. Coming from one of the world's busiest turbine DZs it was great to slow down and enjoy the day and the friendly people. I am planning on returning any time the opportunity presents itself.

Skydive East Tennessee is an awesome, brand new dropzone with a top-notch staff and equipment. There is plenty of air conditioned packing in the manifest building, the landing area is huge, the scenery from altitude is awesome with the views of Douglas Lake and the mountains, and the people are awesome! The location couldn't be better, it is just a few minutes off I-40. I am so glad this DZ opened up so close to my home. If you're ever in East Tennessee you should definitely come check us out!

This dz is definitely worth checking out. I stopped by Saturday to check out the facilities and staff and was impressed with both. The facilities are brand new, clean, and air conditioned. That's nice on a hot July day in East TN! They have also created some very nice creek side camping spots in the shade along with some fire pits for the obligatory camp fire. All of the staff and other jumpers were very friendly, welcoming and more than happy to answer any questions I had. Nash had me suited up with practically brand new rental gear and on a load within thirty minutes of arriving! I made one jump Saturday and will be going back this Saturday to make at least one more! This is a good dropzone that will only get better with time and the support of local jumpers and will be the place to Skydive East Tennessee!
