I had heard nothing but great things about STF from friends and co-workers and decided it was time to go start AFF and get my A license. From the second I pulled on to the property I was very impressed. The dropzone was huge and maintained to the standards of a country club golf course with the grass perfectly cut and the water blue and clean. The swooping pond was clear of obstacles and dyed blue/green so that it is easily identifiable from the aircraft, which made for very easy spotting every time (great for first timers/visitors/students). The hangar and packing area are very spacious and have leather couches, T.V.s, a Chutingstar pro shop, vending machines, and a "snack shack" vendor on the property who has everything from breakfast foods to tuna salads to cheeseburgers. What else could you need during a weekend stay? There is endless camping space and even a bunk room and showers inside the facility. The instructors are very experienced, professional, and friendly. I have yet to meet an instructor or experienced jumper that hasn't gone out of his/her way to help me and others become better educated skydivers. Whenever I pull through the gates and onto the Farm, I immediately feel at home. I live 2.5 hours away from STF and still find myself making the drive almost every single weekend since the first day I stepped foot on the property. I highly recommend STF. Great establishment.
