Great people, great views and fun skydives could be the motto for this drop zone. It is my home DZ so understand where I'm coming from in this review.
The DZ has a very active tandem program that graduates a lot of students into the AFF program. I don't knkow the percentages, but we have a high retention rate of students to up jumper status. A lot of this success is due to the welcome newbies receive from all the DZ crowd.
The instruction staff is small but the interaction between students and up jumpers lets them know they are welcome.
The up jumper crowd is probably dominated by a lot of very talented freeflyers. The belly flyers are second but there is a lot of intermingling with sit fly loads being the common meeting area.
Our pilots are very good and formation loads for ten-ways are always fun.
Come to the Smokies with the family and enjoy some skydives with us. Here's my e-mail. Thanks Gary GSFlyaway@aol.com
