:: TESTIMONIALS::

"I would have to say that Archway is one of the friendliest Drop Zones I have ever encountered, free spirited and fun. Upon first arrival I felt like part of something, a feeling of comfort."
Clark Woods

"Archway is where I started and it will always be my home DZ. Everyone there is extremely friendly and helpful, and the dz has a great atmosphere with easy going jumpers willing to help anyone, whether they are regulars or showing up for the first time. I recommend anyone in the area to stop by... you won't be disappointed."
Tomas Prietro

"Archway is where it all began for me, and I have found no reason to go anywhere else. From day one, everyone there from staff to other jumpers, to the DZO have made me feel right at home. There's never a dull moment, even when it's too cold or cloudy to jump. Whether you are into RW or freeflying, there's always someone to jump with. There is too much good stuff to say about Archway, so if you're ever in the neighborhood, stop on by and we'll leave the light on for ya"
Joe Abeln
US Army Golden Knight

"As the president of the University of Illinois skydiving club, this is my home DZ as well as the club's home. There are several places much closer, but I'm more than willing to make the drive to Archway -- and I would never take students from the club anywhere else. The staff and skydivers are awesome. Friendly instructors, coaching, fast airplanes, great pilots, and farmland for miles if you land out."
