I dropped in to make some fun jumps and this was an awesome place for it! Made a couple jumps with only seven people on a caravan, it was awesome! The staff and students are friendly,I was invited to join a 100th jump for one of the locals which turned into a 13-way, incomplete, but still great fun.

"Tandem Factory" is the least accurate description I could give to this place. As upjumpers we all know that students and tandems pay the bills, but it seems that these guys really care about their regulars more than trying to pull a huge profit. Of course the Pac doesn't compare to the Super Otter that I've come to love at Gold Coast, but it's still hundreds of times better than the C-182 I've dealt with for most of my jumps!

There's a restaurant on site - $3.99 for a hamburger and other very reasonable prices. The gear shop has what you might need (tube stows, altis, goggles, etc) and they make the mistake of allowing you to take what you want and pay for it all at the end of the day! I almost forgot that I snagged a bag of tube stows before I left, but I paid for them.

They charge 3% for credit cards so bring a checkbook. $25 per load gets expensive so I guess that's how they handle taking care of their upjumpers more than bumping us for tandems and AFF. Still, one of best dropzones I've been to. Out of the 9 DZs I've visited, I'd rate this one number 2 (right behind Gold Coast in Mississippi) only because of the PAC and the $25 per load. The friendliness of their skydivers and their willingness to jump with you and get you involved in what they do is incomparable, though. I'll definitely be coming back here.
