"Skydiving with John was an experience that is difficult to put into words. John makes you feel comfortable and safe, but also makes it a lot of fun. The jump was unbelievable and I can guarantee that jumping with John will be an annual event for me."

"Exhilarating! That is the only way I can describe the feeling of jumping out of an airplane at 13,000 feet into an abyss of air and clouds. The rush of the wind against my face, the dampness of the clouds, the precariousness of it all. I remember saying to myself on the way down 'there is no rational basis for this', but that was what made it cool!"

"I have never been so scared in my life as
when I was in the plane, all strapped in watching
people literally throwing themselves out of
the back door of the airplane. Then we
were next. John was such a pro, so self-confident,
and made me feel totally at ease even though
I was really scared. He is very calm
and supportive in his demeanor as he gives
instructions and tells first-timers what to
expect. He is very thorough and reassuring
through it all. And he has such fun taking
people for a tandem that he makes it really
fun for you too.
I was really scared during the free-fall, the beginning of the jump. Then,
when the parachute was opened, there was this incredible, dreamy, feeling like
being a cloud and floating gently and peacefully in the air. And then
John could talk to me and we could have a conversation about how beautiful
the scenery was from that altitude. Then the very smooth landing and
the excitement and exhilaration of having such a profound personal experience
with my brother, John. With him, I faced my fears and came back to earth
a different person. I highly recommend the jump!"
"After years of saying would I never jump out of an airplane, I decided to give it a try and trust my friend John. EXTRAORDINARY is the thought that comes to mind. It was fast and peaceful at the same time. Once under canopy the ride down was effortless. John made me feel so safe and secure that I never had a moment's worry. That single experience left me with a passion to train for an AFF jump. My first tandem skydive was so much fun that I did it again TWICE and I'd do it again in a minute."
-Jo
My tandem was amazing! It was especially cool to share the experience with my daughter! I never experienced the gut wrenching fear I anticipated. I was comfortable with the training, the group, and John's way of making me feel safe! I "highly" recommend the tandem skydive to anyone that wants to have fun, needs a good stretch, and see the beauty of Gods world in a new way! Thanks John!

"Tandem jumping is amazing! I had no idea how much of a rush it would be to fall through the clouds, to hang in the sky thousands of feet above the ground, and to see earth-bound objects from an upside-down perspective. John Hawke was professional, skilled, and reassuring. I couldn't have asked for someone more expert. He made the jump far more fun than scary!"
