Skydive KY is a great place to go to hang out, talk to other jumpers, meet people and learn a lot about the sport! A+ service, the prices are reasonable. See you this weekend!

Before I could even walk in the door and set my gear down at Skydive Kentucky I felt like I was at my home DZ. At least 2 of the staff welcomed me as soon as I walked in when they recognized that I was new to the DZ. They made me feel comfortable and right at home, including me in jumps and after hour activities right away.
I was told that the first rule at Skydive Kentucky is "Have Fun" and it really is!!! ( besides safety ) I had a awesome time! I went there by myself just to jump because a lot of the DZ around the mid east are closed for the winter, but not Skydive KY. I was shocked when the DZO ( JIM ) offered to go on a 2-way with me just so I wouldn't have to jump by myself on my first visit!!!
The King Air got me to full altitude quickly on every jump, and they have a very good size landing area. This is a dropzone that welcomes up jumpers with open arms for sure, since I have been going there this winter the DZO has gone above and beyond for us to get the plane off the ground.
I would recommend this DZ for anyone who loves to skydive, hangout with fun people, and is willing to feel comfortable at a DZ with NO CLIQUES!!!!!

My husband Steve and I went to Skydive KY for our very first skydives. Jim (owner), greg (photographer), mike (tandem diver), and nick (photographer) were all very friendly and helpful. They did a wonderful job of giving us all the relevant information, while really making us feel at ease (well, as much at ease as is possible when you're contemplating your first jump out of a plane!).

Greg was very friendly and quick to engage in conversation as if we were old friends - the same with Jim (one of the owners, i believe). Mike, who was my tandem, was extremely professional and courteous, and was very patient with me. Nick has a great sense of humor and really added some levity to what was a very nervous morning.

They showed us Fort Knox as we were up in the plane, and Mike showed me how to steer the parachute as we were up in the air. He was very interested in really TEACHING me, so I could do it again, rather than just giving me a ride.

The con was that there was no bathroom, just port-a-potties (although those were very clean and non-smelly) - this can be kind of a big deal if you're nervous and you have to pee every 20 minutes, like we did...or if you have to wait 3 hours from the time you get there to go up in a plane (as we did, because of the weather).

altogether, i'd definitely dive with these guys again. in fact, i was ready to go a second time as soon as i hit the ground!

Skydive Kentucky in Elizabethtown is the most inviting DZ I have ever jumped at. Jim and his crew were every bit of hospitable, friendly, fun, and laid back. You certainly won't be just another face in the crowd.
Skydive Kentucky is not the biggest facility you've ever been to, but there is a nice indoor packing area with plenty of room for the number of jumpers present. There are a variety of levels of experience, so you can find friends to jump at your level, or friends that can get you to the next. It is a non-aggressive environment, that is, you can approach everyone on the DZ and you won't have to feel bad for lack of experience or time at the DZ.
If you're in KY, come by for the Halloween Party on Saturday, 1NOV08.

What an experience!! This was a Christmas gift and by far the best present EVER!! I had the time of my life. The staff was awesome. Jim was great. Professionalism was everywhere. The knowledge and experience the staff had made me and my family comfortable with the jump. I will recommend Skydive to everyone and I will be back to jump again SOON!! Thanks to all involved. The pictures and video were awesome!!!

I had a fantastic experience in my first tandem skydive. It was extremely fun and the staff made the whole thing easy. I have not stopped talking about it! The staff, especially my tandem instructor Larry, went over and beyond all expectations. They were friendly and professional. The video is fantastic, too. I can't wait to do it again and I have been recommending Skydive Kentucky to everyone I know. Thanks!

I'm new to the sport, but couldn't imagine a better place to jump. The people are friendly, encouraging, extremely helpful, and committed to making everyone's skydiving experience fun and safe. I haven't seen a single person leave the DZ disappointed. The instructors make sure everyone gets the most out of every jump and are a pleasure to jump with.

The student training here is excellent. Everyone takes an interest in student training and does whatever they can to assist in the learning process. They are eager to answer questions and pass on their knowledge to beginners; and there is a LOT of knowledge and experience at this DZ.

I want to thank everyone at Skydive KY for being so helpful and dedicated to this great sport. A special thank you to Shawn Barnett who's AFF training has been superb. All I can say is he is GOOD. A special thanks also to Larry and Jim for their instruction during my tandem jumps and to Jim again for running this great facility and attracting such good people

If you're thinking about jumping here, do it!

I can't wait to get back and do it all over again. Everyone there was super cool - plan to come back and stay till the beer light comes on :) I thought that this would be my first and last jump. Figured I would get it out of my system. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? I'm a mother of four and can't wait to come back and get certified to do it alone! You guys are great and I'd love to get more of my friends to come out and try it. Suggestion: PLEASE come up with a cling-on type advertisement for my car window (I can't make myself put the bumper sticker on my car). Will never forget the plane ride up - you all are as sick as I am!!! Thanks a ton Jim - loved jumping with you. See you guys again!

Great facility with indoor packing. Fantastic interaction among skill levels; beginners and visitors are invited to jump with regulars and very experienced jumpers, and all in between. Very friendly bunch of people. Even spectators are welcomed.

The Staff at Skydive Kentucky were extremely professional, flexible, and helpful, helping 14 soldiers in my Army Reserve Unit get started in their Static-line program. They were able to work around our busy schedule and regularly demonstrated an attitude of 'Come on out, we'll get you up into the air." The regular jumpers at Skydive Kentucky were also very helpful, working me into various loads, which is something I always notice when I visit a new drop zone.

I was especialy impressed with the affordability of their student program. They are in the DZ business for the long haul, by recruiting an retaining new jumpers into USPA, rather than the quick buck, and it convinced most of my 14 friends to jump again.

A King Air that flies during the week when enough jumpers show to make a load... YEAH! Plus, their 'early bird' King Air jumps Saturday and Sunday morning are a reason to get to the DZ bright and early.

Rock on!

Thank you for an INCREDIBLE first jump and the butter-smooth landing that followed :)

Incidentally, working on the top floor of a high rise isn't very impressive anymore.

I'll be back when the money gods allow.

Cheers,

Did my 3rd tandem jump. Larry was very professional and lots of fun. Great place to jump.
King Air is a great plane but miss the sound of that big radial engine on the Beaver.
And excellent job on picts and video!

You guys are the best. Had a great time from the time I got hooked up in that cute little get up to zero G in the plane to jumping out head first and the free ride with Jim. (Jim I love my new word) You all made it a great experience and I can't wait to come visit KY again and come back to see you all! All my nurse frineds will think I've lost my mind but I will remember you always!!!

There are places in the world that you know the moment you walked into the door your a part of something special. This DZ is one of them. The staff and community are the core of this DZ. I'm not sure if the skydiving or the conversations were more fun. This is one DZ where you don't feel like your just another number getting put through the grinder. And its the extra effort everyone puts forward that ensures that you not only skydive safely, but that you actually have a good time doing it. Great instructors from the ground to the air. Brought my 62 year old father to jump for his first time and he had the time of his life. And its not effort thats only directed towards the jumpers either. Mad props to Shawn for talking to my mother and wife after the jumps helping to ease their fears and apprehensions when he could have simply packed up and gone home. It's that extra effort that makes this DZ special, and its worth any drive to experience it.

What a bunch of friendly folks. These guys are still getting acclimated to their new digs after the move from Bardstown, but they still offer a drop zone where you will feel welcome and comfortable whatever your experience level. Jump fleet consists of a Cessna 180 and a King Air 90. Staff and instructors are courteous and professional, and they offer a full line of services.

Took my first 3 jumps ever (AFF) in Kentucky, these guys know perfectly how to work in a relaxed comfortable friendly way, make you feel welcome, joke around and share their enthusiasm, yet still clearly demonstrate a professional attitude towards safety that helps a lot when you are about to do one of the craziest things you have ever done in your life!!! Great bunch of people, awesome experience..

Skydiving is something I've always said that I wanted to do before I die, my husband gave me a gift certificate for Christmas - my first thought, "am I dying soon?" my second thought - YES! This was my first time - tandem. Jim was a great trainer and Larry, my instructor, Dan did video. No hamming up for the camera here - my mouth is stuck in a permanent smile! I'll be back!
