Before visiting this DZ, I was under the impression it was a tandem factory, unfriendly to fun jumpers. I first arrived expecting to be turned away, and was surprised to find just the opposite. One of the TIs, Rico, gave me a tour of the DZ and landing area. The DZ manager Chris, and one of the regulars, Tom, pulled up an aerial view of the landing area and showed me the current spot, landing patterns, and where some good outs were.
Some bad decisions on my part led to a hard landing, and the staff showed genuine concern that I was ok, over chastising the poor decision I made. They even contacted the DZO the next day from my home DZ to make sure I was ok. Not sure where some of the negative reviews on here stem from, but I have nothing but positives to say about this dropzone. The only negative is that the packing area could be bigger, but it's designed for tandems, and there's a good amount of shaded grass for fun jumpers to pack on.
