This was my first time skydiving and it was AMAZING! I would recommend to anyone who asks about it! I was super nervous in the beginning but once I was on that plane my nerves left immediately. My Instructor was a 10/10 and helped me feel secure throughout the whole process. You can tell this guy is experienced in this sport and loves it. Definitely coming back in the future!!!

FAQ
Got questions? We’ve answered the ones we hear most.
Where is the DC drop zone actually located, and how far is it from Washington DC?
iSkydive DC operates out of a private airfield at 5075 Airport Rd, Midland, VA 22728, about 51 miles from downtown Washington DC, roughly an hour by car. It’s marketed as the closest tandem skydiving center to DC, and among the options in the region it is, but plan for a real hour-long drive each way.
What will I see when I skydive near DC?
Rolling Virginia farmland, the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley foothills, and on clear days the outline of Washington DC in the distance.
Can I jump with a large group at the same time?
Yes. iSkydive DC flies a PAC-750 aircraft that holds up to 12 skydivers per load, one of the larger planes in iSkydive’s fleet, which makes it a good fit for big groups, corporate outings, or large celebrations that want everyone in the air together.
Does iSkydive DC work with licensed or experienced skydivers, not just first-timers?
Yes. Along with tandem jumps for first-timers, iSkydive DC supports USPA-licensed jumpers with a current logbook or ProTrack, TSO-rated gear, and a reserve packed by an FAA rigger, plus coaches available for skill progression. Most other iSkydive locations focus on tandems only.
Is a DC skydive a good add-on for a trip to Washington?
Yes. Visitors touring DC’s monuments and museums often add a jump as a one-day side trip, since the drop zone is about an hour outside the city and pairs naturally with a weekend visit.
Is DC a good spot for a birthday or proposal jump?
Yes. iSkydive DC runs dedicated birthday jump and marriage proposal packages, with the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley as the backdrop.
Does weather affect skydiving near DC?
It can. Virginia sees the same four-season mid-Atlantic pattern as the rest of the region, summer humidity and thunderstorms, and winter cold that can affect flying conditions. Delays can also happen due to air traffic control or aircraft maintenance. We do our best to notify you at least two hours before your scheduled time, but sometimes changes happen last minute. We always build some buffer time into the 2 to 4 hour experience window.
Are there weight limits or extra charges?
Yes. There’s an extra fee for guests over 200 pounds, and the maximum weight limit is 240 pounds. All clothing and gear count toward total weight, and everyone is weighed on arrival. Weight and equipment limits are set by manufacturer specifications and FAA guidelines, not by iSkydive
iSkydive America offers premium skydiving experiences with professional training, breathtaking views, and world-class safety standards.
