    I just completed the AFF program at Piedmont Skydiving and had a fantastic experience!! Thanks to them I feel very confortable and safe with the sport! The crew there is very organized and detailed in their course. I truly wouldn't have wanted to learn skydiving from a better more fun group of people. Looking forward to the many more jumps I have over there!
