West Plains Skydiving has that great "small Cessna DZ" feel, but is made even better by that Cessna being a really nice Caravan. The people there make the DZ what it is, that being someplace where it's easy to get on a load doing RW, freefly, or Birdman jumps, and just as easy to BS with folks between jumps and after-hours ,even if you showed up not knowing a soul. The staff seems to really care about student safety as well as whether everyone (students and up-jumpers alike) has fun, and manifest couldn't possibly be nicer. Overall, it's just a really fun DZ, whether you're trying to take it easy or trying to pound out jumps. The only things that could be a little better would be a bit more development of the landing area, a real bathroom/sink instead of a porta-potty, and the ability to take debit/credit cards. Minor inconveniences compared to the upsides.
