I have wanted to jump for over a year. Last fall, we traveled to a DZ that was not professional - really quite scary.
Our trip started from Lebanon, Tennesse - 20min east of Nashville was just over an hour drive time to the DZ. Upon arriving, we spoke with the person we contacted weeks before. The area was nice, clean and had a deck for observation. The airfield is large and open with a nice FBO onsite and adequate facilites to fly in prior to your jump.
Beezy was my tandem instructor. Very professional and matter of fact as to what would happen during the experience. Other instructors did the same.
As for the KingAir - WOW what a plane. We jumped off the ground with a full load of jumpers- actually - we jumped off the runway like a harrier jump jet.
Being a 1st timer, I felt more comfortable when the tandem connection was double checked by another experienced jumper. Free fall was a very different experience. Beezy had prepared me for everything that happened.
All 5 of us had a great time. From arrival to certificates took less than 2.5 hours. These guys know how to ensure a good experience.
They delivered everything we expected.
We are planning to return for another jump!
