Tandem Jump in New York

New York gives you a lot of country to fall through. Drop zones sit where the views earn their keep: the vineyard rows and glacial lakes of the Finger Lakes, the peaks of the Adirondacks, the broad sweep of the Hudson River Valley. On a tandem you clear the plane with barely any training and the landscape does the rest, opening up under you with the occasional far-off glint of the Atlantic or the Great Lakes.

Students on the Accelerated Freefall (AFF) track get full training programs run to strict safety standards, with experienced instructors teaching what it takes to jump solo. You work through the USPA curriculum jump by jump, building freefall skills and canopy control while flying over some of the more varied airspace in the Northeast.
