I'm no sky god and haven't been to 100's of DZ's, but I've got enough frequently flyer miles to get me most of the way to the sun. When I travel I appreciate things that uncomplicate my life and make me feel at home. This is a DZ that does just that. No hassles and an expectation of a "Safety First" attitude. Helpful locals that treat you like you've lived there all your life. Clean orderly equipment and enough lifting power to get me into the air as often as I cared to go.
It's not a big, high density DZ with turbine aircraft, but they know how to put up a 182 load and get the most out of the jump. The trip to altitude gives you great views of the area lakes and the rural Kansas countryside. My non-jumping family came with me and had a great time. Plenty of compfy couches and lawn chairs and a great view of old dad's jump and landing.
I gauge a business by it's service and product. SDK passes on both counts and delivers just what they promise. There aren't too many DZ's in this part of the country and I can really appreciate having one close to my wayward daughter so I have a place to jump when I visit.
If you're in the KC area and want to experience all the ambiance of a "Home Dropzone", give Skydive Kansas a try. Just stear clear of the Kansas Wind Tunnels (A.K.A. tornado) - they're for hard core Xtreme FF only.
