I am working on my AFF and when I need an escape from the city this is where I go. At any skydive center the arrival to jump times are sometimes long, sometimes short. When each plane load carries 4 max, this is expected and understood. I once waited for 5 hours at a DZ with an otter and they never seemed to fill it up. When you plan to go skydiving, plan the day for it and enjoy the peace and quiet for a while. If your in a rush, don't go that day, simple as that. Cindy is a great business owner and wonderful to work with. She is understanding and helps me make my day before appointments with ease and very friendly in doing so. I called another dropzone in the area and the woman answering was so rude and put me on hold after answering an irrelevant question so I just decided TSC was where I would keep going. The llamas and donkeys are what keep this dropzone a rural one and personally, I like it. It gives the atmosphere of a small business done for pleasure which is what this is. I have read some bad reviews and they all come down to the individual not understanding the sport they signed up for. They will charge you for lost emergency handles, because they are expensive. They will charge you for a lost main chute, because it is time consuming and a hassle to gain permission to enter private property to retrieve it. I have seen too many people blame insufficiencies on the business instead of taking the wrap for a mistake or happenstance during this extreme sport. If you understand what you are about to do, the cost, the risk, the procedures, and the thrill these people are giving you (just IMAGINE the insurance costs of something like this) then this is as good as any other DZ. If you like the friendly atmosphere, rural escape, and a day to forget about all daily stressors then I highly recommend this DZ. As for the small dinky plane, It always makes me want to jump rather than land in it .. and that's a good thing ;P
