About Us
Dallas Skydive Center is the closest dropzone to the Dallas, Fort-Worth, Rockwall, Garland and Greenville areas. Our goal is to provide a safe, friendly and welcoming atmosphere for people to experience the thrill of human flight.
Here are some of the reasons that make Dallas Skydive Center your best choice:
Our fleet: We have 2 Super Cessna 182 airplanes available for use throughout the entire season.
Our aircraft are capable of reaching 13,500 in 15 minutes. We can take up to 12 students per hour, and our airplanes are meticulously maintained according to the FAA standards.
Our skydiving equipment: Make your first tandem skydive jump utilizing the same tandem parachute system used by the US Special Forces (the Sigma Tandem System). These rigs are very expensive and are out of reach of low budget operations. The higher cost of the system is due to the patented safety systems. Dallas Skydive Center has its own parachute repair loft and two FAA parachute riggers on staff. We often service other drop zones and certified sport skydiver’s equipment.
The Location: From 13,500 feet you will see the Dallas skyline, Rockwall, Lake Ray Hubbard, Lake Tawakoni, Greenville, and on a clear day, Fort Worth. We provide a massive open landing area…651 acres! There are plenty of places to relax and watch the skies. Our 3,600 sq/ft hangar has a padded packing area, vending machines and clean indoor bathrooms. Dogs are welcomed, as long they stay on leash and under direct supervision, since they can not see an airplane turning propeller.
Our Staff: Our staff are handpicked, experienced instructors, chosen by our Chief Instructor, Jimmy Mendonca (13,000+ sky dives, FAA certified parachute rigger and a Tandem Instructor Examiner). In addition, our staff is 100% drug free!!
Our Motto: Shut Up and Jump!!
