After a lot of hard work the great crew at Skydive Tecumseh was able to help me get my A-license. I've never had so much fun in my life. I cannot emphasize enough how great the staff is at this dropzone! I look forward to many jumps there, and would highly recommend anyone even remotely interested in skydiving come out and visit!

Made my first jump there in 1987. Been there almost every weekend during the season for the past 10 years. Skydive Tecumseh keeps getting better every year.

New owners are motivated to make everyone happy and are constantly improving services.

No drama. No waiting to get on a load. No problems.

I have not found a better dz in Michigan than Skydive Tecumseh

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

This is to Mudman. I owe this person an apology. His description of the events that day are accurate. I especially liked "Juggling Amputees" Good Stuff! I like "3 Monkees fu***ng a football" but hey, it all works.Nonetheless, we were still in the Poop in Group stage and things have improved a bit since that day.When I got my ratings, I vowed never to let someone get ignored like I did when I went thru AFF and I allowed that to occur on that day. I truly regret letting this happen.There is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I usually am up around 6-6:30 in the morning and that is when I like to get the paperwork and stuff done. If not, come out on Fri. nite and will do it after dark. I don't mind staying up as long as necessary and I don't really like to drink. You can stay in my A/C trailer or bring an air mattress and crash in the student rm. Again, A/C. We'll get the particulars out of the way and we can spend our day jumping.Wherever you end up, I hope you stay jumping and stay in the air.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I started my student progression here at the end of last season and was immediately welcomed and taken in by some of the most amazing people I've ever met. My IAD instructors and coaches have been extremely supportive every step of the way, making my first jumps (which were hardly perfect) the beginning of a great learning experience. I can’t count how many times in the past months I’ve heard “Get your license already so we can jump together!” and now that I’ve FINALLY got it I can’t wait to learn as much as I can from this diverse group of jumpers. It’s also been really exciting watching the dedication of the new DZO, staff, and regular jumpers who have come together to help transform the DZ this year (you guys ROCK!)

Rated by: a_kovaleski on 2008-06-10 (user profile) (user reviews) Review of: Skydive Tecumseh   Pros: Great jump staff, friendly people, great pilot. Cons: Might wait in line on busy weekends.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I had a great experience with Skydive Tecumseh. I was directed there by a friend of mine who works there. I took a tandem jump with video. My tandem instructor was very nice and fun. He kept me more excited than nervous and answered all my questions with useful explanations.
My video jumper was also very nice and kept me excited. They were both fun to be around and made my jump even more amazing.
I was also impressed with the skills and safety of our pilot. I felt very comfortable in our aircraft.
The atmosphere at Skydive Tecumseh was also very enjoyable. I was welcomed and taken care of quickly. I came to dive alone, bringing no family or friends for support, but I didn't feel like I was alone at Tecumseh; everyone was kind. They told me stories of their jumps and I felt like I'd known these people for a long time.
I would most definitely come back to Tecumseh for another dive.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I am glad I jumped here before reading the reviews. If I had read the reviews first, I may not have jumped there and would have missed one of the best jump weekends I've had. This place is full of talent from RW to freeflying to wingsuits. I learned a lot and had a great time. We did multi-plane formations, never done that before. Yes, it was busy, but I always thought that was a good thing. It means they have a strong following and they are growing. I talked with the owner, Franz, and he assured me they are working through the growing pains and will continue to get better and better. I can't wait to go back and see how Franz will make it even more fun.

Rated by: daremrc on 2008-05-28 (user profile) (user reviews) Review of: Skydive Tecumseh   Pros: Fun locals, lots of talented jumpers, 3 planes, free camping with electricity Cons: Closed in the winter

What else do you want? Indoor packing, free camping with showers & laundry, lots of experienced people whether you're into freeflying, RW, or swooping. A really fun crowd of regulars and a good time, day and night.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I have been jumping at Tecumseh for 5 years and it is my home DZ. The place is great and I love jumping here. Everyone is welcomed and always leaves with smiles and great stories to tell. This year has been a great one so far with the new owner Franz coming in and cleaning up the place and adding a new clean look. Most of the DZ is under construction and is being worked on but is looking better than it has in a long time. There is plenty of packing, camping, landing & chill space. It is set up perfect for any skill level and the outs are all over the place if you need them.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

This is the best DZ in Michigan. I started off here a bit unsure of myself and I had nothing but solid support and excellent instructors (Ryan, Karl, Brian) along the way. Had it not been for the positive vibe at Tecumseh I would not be where I am today!

Tecumseh has a big wide open landing area that has been segregated for HP landings and standard pattern landings, and the student area is free of obstacles, you couldn't ask for a better area to land in.

Facilities are great, showers, camping room, indoor packing, etc. And the bonfires at the end of the day are the best!

Whether you come for IAD, AFF, or to do a Tandem you will be handled with professionalism. The transition to new ownership has been quite successful, and I can't wait to see how this place grows.
Thanks Franz!
