    Had a blast abandoning a perfectly good aircraft for the first time. The people were all friendly, polite, and energetic to be around. I plan to do it again when my schedule permits.

    Fantastic experience! Office staff and tandem crew are easy going, helpful, and personable. I was pretty anxious but Derek and the rest of the instructors really made the anticipation during the climb and right before the jump bearable with a mix of goofing off and providing information when necessary. The jump itself was incredible and I would do it again in a flash. Highly recommended.
