We are the only drop zone in the East Tennessee area with facilities for you and your guests!

We are the closest drop zone to Knoxville, Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg/Smoky Mountains!

We are proud of our privately owned air-strip and offer an air conditioned & heated building with restrooms, padded packing room and plenty of room for your family and friends to spectate.

If you’ve always dreamed of flying, we make it happen with our Tandem Student Jumps. No exams, just a few minutes of instruction and the next thing you know you’re out the door. You’ll experience the rush of  freefall while attached to one of our USPA certified tandem masters.

Add video to your skydive and you’ll be able to relive the experience over again with family and friends for years!

Why choose us?

We proudly offer an open door to the sport of skydiving. Our incredibly talented staff and instructors take pride in sharing their love of skydiving and can tailor your experience to fit your needs. We are the only privately owned skydiving training center in the East TN area. Additionally, the ONLY DZ (Drop Zone) that has a fully renovated building with spectator viewing areas for your guests, video viewing area, training room, climate-controlled building with padded pack room, restrooms with a shower, camping, and free wifi

Our commitment to safety is well established in the skydiving community. Skydiving is largely self-regulated and for this reason, we recommend you ALWAYS jump at a facility that is USPA (United States Parachute Association) rated. We encourage you to jump into facilities that put safety over profits. We are committed to preserving your safety above all else. Many drop zones focus primarily on high volumes of tandems.

 The experience at SET is unparalleled because it’s a small locally owned business on private property with a skydive family almost too excited to welcome you to the incredible world of skydiving. 

 Our prices reflect the time and care we put into the quality and safety of each and every skydivers experience. Our aircraft and parachute equipment is properly maintained for full compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations.    

SET is unique in that.. we own our airport! Our commitment is to build and maintain a skydiving facility that provides our clients with an abundance of value for their investment of time and money.

UP FRONT PRICING!  Our prices include everything you need to jump and all jumps are from approximately 11,000 feet above the ground. All fees and add-ons are up front, no hidden costs.  

**2020 safety update**  For the safety of our guests and staff we have included the cost of a new pair of goggles for each tandem jumper to take home.  Goggle prices are subject to change. We appreciate your cooperation and patience. Neck buffs are also available for $6.
