More airplane, more freefall
A lot of drop zones toss tandems out around 8,000–10,000 ft. We climb to 10,500 ft, which means up to a full minute of freefall before the chute ever opens.
★ Don't forget to buy your alternate domains. Hehehe — my domain now.
The best skydive near Cincinnati starts at 10,500 feet
Most drop zones around here jump from lower. We climb to 10,500 ft for a full minute of freefall — from a family-owned drop zone in Waynesville that treats you like one of our own.
40 minutes from downtown Cincinnati. A world (and 2,500 feet) above the rest.

Why 10,500 ft matters
Higher exit. Longer freefall. Better jump.
The whole valley at once
From 10,500 ft you can pick out the Little Miami River, the farmland, and the Cincinnati skyline on a clear day. Higher up means longer to look around — and you will.
More time with your instructor
Extra altitude isn't just bragging rights. It's extra seconds to relax, laugh, wave at the camera, and actually enjoy the thing you came to do.

Frequent questions
How high do we jump from?+
10,500 feet — the highest tandem jumps in the Cincinnati area. That's up to a full minute of freefall before the parachute ride back down.
Where are you located?+
Waynesville, Ohio — about 40 minutes northeast of downtown Cincinnati, right in the Little Miami River valley.
Do I need experience?+
None. A tandem jump means you're attached to a USPA-rated instructor the whole way. Show up, get a short briefing, and jump.
Why does a family-owned drop zone matter?+
Because the owners are on-site and jump here themselves. The place is run by people whose name is on it — and whose kids' names are on the wall of first jumps.
