I decided last year (2011) to make my first jump and see if I could handle it. Upon getting there I was greeted by multiple staff members ready and willing to calm me down and make my experience the best it could be. After I calmed down and began to enjoy everything, I knew this was something I wanted to pursue. I started taking the IAF class and the instructors were awesome! They go through everything until you completely understand it then after the jump go into detail on what was good and what needed improvement. After getting my license, everyone at the DZ was inviting me to jump with them, both in 2-ways or large groups. MOst are even willing to answer any questions and help with anything new I wanted to learn. The fact that they have a minimum of 2 otters flying on busy days means an average wait time of 10 minutes between loads. The packing area in the hanger is great and theres even an on site camp ground for those who don't live too close. I also noticed that many reviews have that they had no food or beverage center. Well they must have read those and decided it was needed cause now they have the Dragonfly Cafe, making great food all day! I have met some of the most amazing people and had the best times to include the parties on the weekends as well as people always inviting me to other events. I love the Ranch and can't think of anywhere else I'd rather call my home DZ!
