I started with a static line progression course and was very disappointed with how it was going. I felt I wasn't getting what I needed..so an instructor pointed me towards Sky Knights and a friend pointed me towards Skydive Chicago. Skydive Chicago would have ultimately been my first choice because of the "A-license in a week" program and it's just a superb place to learn..but..with the economy my vacation was taken away..BOO! So I checked out Sky Knights when a tandem discount was offered on the web. I can't say enough about Sky Knights. They were fantastic! My tandem was the most fun yet and I signed up for AFF that day. AFF 1st jump went awesome and I finally felt like this was where I needed to be (even though it is a 2.5 hour drive for me). Mary,Lisa and Mooey were my instructors and they were awesome. Lisa met with me for a "real" debriefing (which I had never really had with the static line jumps)and we set up for the next level jump. I feel like I'm going to get a lot out of the program and come out knowing 1,000 times more from the AFF program than the static line. The staff is awesome and on top of everything..they offer a deferred payment program!! I've been anxiously awaiting becoming a licensed skydiver for a year & I'm going to get that license this year come humidity or snow!! I highly recommend Sky Knights.
