I cant imagine finding a better DZ.

From the start, the staff makes you feel at home. You get the feeling that just being a skydiver, or wanting to be one makes you family. The three cessna 182's are well maintained, and they use them efficiently so you don't have to wait long to get in the air, even when there are a large number of skydivers present. There are always enough willing skydivers present to put together a load, so if you want to go up, and the weather is good, you'll be able to go up. The owner greets everyone coming in. And, the staff and regular skydivers are friendly, supportive, and always willing to help. The staff makes it obvious that safety is a main concern, which puts new jumpers at ease. If you're wanting to try the sport, you won't be able to find a better DZ.

I needed to get my reserve repacked. We no longer have a rigger at my dz, so I was refered to Franklin. I called Dick Money, and he was more than happy to help me out. I mailed him my rig and he had it ready for me the following weekend. Well worth the 3 hr drive to pick it up, and make a jump! Staff is awesome, great atmosphere, great ppl! Katalin the pilot is really cute too! Will be back!

I went here for my first skydiving experience. The people were incredible and made the the entire experience amazing. Dave and Scott were both fun and professional as were all the staff. After the jumps we all sat down and watched the video and stills together. I couldn't have asked for a better first time. I'll definitely be back.

Small DZ with large DZ benefits


Jerry's Skydiving Circus Rated 5 by: hornet1978 on 2010-04-25

Pros: 3 C-182s, 7+ coaches/instructors, Improved landing area
Cons: No turbine plane

I started @ Jerry's in November 09 after having 30+ jumps Army. The coaches and instructors took me under and taught me an immense amount of knowledge in the sport, getting me to my license at a steady rate.

Over the winter, 8 flags were added to the landing area, dramatically improving the learning for students as well as increasing safety for more experienced ones.

I've met jumpers from all over skydiving that come to 3FK for the simple fact that the commercial feeling of the sport is not there and feels more like a home each jump you make!

I started jumping here back in 2004 on the static line, I have been to numerous DZ's across the country but always come back to Jerry's in the end. Dick Money has been in the sport for over 40 years. He maintains his fleet of 182's better than anyone else, and is nothing but safe. I have witnessed foolish acts at other DZ's but not here. Students progression is of the first and utmost importance. And the staff is the most willing and relaxed around. videos are shared and viewed by all as a family,,,sometimes for laughs but as a learning experience for all. Dave and Scott the tandem masters are both excellent instructors and mentors. looking for a tandem ask for those two characters. The 2010 season is going to see many improvements with the addition of a new plane as well as many coaches, a few new tandem masters, as well as AFF and static line instructors. We have a great DZ but as any good DZ we are trying to improve on what we already have..So if a nice fun and relaxed skydiving experience is what you want come to Jerry's.....
