    Piedmont's AFF program is by far the best one I have ever encountered. Everyone at the dropzone is a family and will welcome you with open arms, even as a student. Be prepared to have people cheering you on throughout your whole program and then have the best sky fam there could ever be! They have a huge landing area (which is super helpful when you're a baby canopy pilot), incredible instructors, and an awesome plane. I'd recommend this program to anyone in a heartbeat!

    Had an amazing time!!! Landed safely and with zero problems. The dive was the absolute best. Felt completely safe and I had never been in a plane before. The staff was incredible. Melody the receptionist was very friendly and easy going, Derek my jumper was funny yet professional, and made the experience that much better. Definitely recommend coming here. The plane is a bit small but that's okay! Doesn't take away from the experience. Oh and a tip for future jumpers! Buy your photos / videos to at day. Don't expect to have another chance to buy them once you leave. They don't hold on to photos/videos after that day is over so go ahead and purchase them while you're there. Wish I had for my fiancee who also jumped with me!

    What an experience!! I would suggest anyone who needs to blow off some steam to try this! It's really not expensive especially when you realize the experience you are having.

    Seriously the most amazing experience of my life!!! All of the workers where friendly and made me feel excited and comfortable. This was my first time and probably not my last. I was extremely nervous and my instructor, Charlie did so great in making me comfortable and excited. If you are thinking about jumping out of a plane this is the place to do it. YOLO!!!

    I had a great experience with the crew at Piedmont Skydiving. They answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. Ishmael was my instructor. He was great! I really enjoyed our jump and highly recommend this experience to anyone who’s interested. Say hello to Beau the beautiful Golden Retriever, too!
