I'm a returning jumper after a 28 year layoff. Rachel set me up with a tandem jump and AFF course. She kept me updated through emails with course info, directions and tips. I attended AFF ground school on Friday night which was professionally done in a well equipped classroom. First AFF jump was done early Saturday and I was impressed by the level of attention to safety and instruction.

The DZ was very busy with military, tandem, student and fun jumpers but Mike and his staff kept everything moving smoothly and with a fun atmosphere. The local jumpers are friendly with positive attitudes and encouragement. The indoor facility is impressive with wall to wall carpet and A/C. I counted 18 rigs being packed at one time with plenty of floor space available. From there its a very short walk to the King Air and within a few minutes you're at 14,500. The landing area is expansive and well groomed and it's a short walk back to the indoor facility.

I can't say enough about the professional attitude of Mike and his staff as well as the "fun" vibe of the entire DZ. I would highly recommend this DZ for tandem, student training or fun jumping. It is away from "built up areas" so the amenities "off" the DZ are few but I believe Mike designed the facility to have minimal impact from ATC as well as local community concerns. There are hotels and dining within 15-20 mins of the DZ and Memphis is just a short drive away.

Mike Mullins and his staff are exceptional. We went there this weekend and made several jumps. the DZ was slow because of the Thanksgiving holiday but we still got all the jumps we wanted.
If you haven't experienced a 7 minute ride to altitude, this is the place. The King Air is comfortable and fast! Mike is a great pilot.
My girlfriend doesn't have her A license yet, but was very comfortable jumping here. She rented gear and it is all new and fit her well. She loved jumping there and wants to go back.
My son had not jumped in 7 years and got his recurrency here this weekend too. All of us were impressed with the DZ.
I can not say enough good things about the place.
Blue Skies!

My husband and I have jumped twice so far, are planning another 2 before the end of the year! We hope to be taking the AFF classes to get our liscences next year! We love the professionalism and friendliness of the crew, and the patience they have for all of the first timers! Although it is quite a drive for us, we are actually glad for that, so we wont go bankrupt going too often!

The instructors were experienced, friendly, fun, patient, and they make sure you are clear on what is going on and comfortable. The atmosphere was fun and homey. I will be going back and getting my certifications there. These guys are masters of their craft and you'll see that once you get there.

I spent the past weekend at West Tennesee Skydiving. I got 8 jumps in without rushing. Loads were consistent and fast. I finished out my B license while there. There were a lot of tandems but they were mixed with the fun jumpers where essentially no one was waiting. This is truly a drop zone that is dedicated to the skydiving sport. The owner, Mike Mullins, really takes care of the jumpers and tandems. I spent the weekend in a campsite with the family. They watched from the pool while I jumped. Everybody was happy.
