First Time Skydiving? First, let us take a moment to congratulate you on making the most important decision in your life: You’ve chosen the best skydiving center in the area. We will help make your dreams of flight come true! At Glidersports, every instructor is certified through the United States Parachute Association (USPA.) In addition to this, Tandem Instructors have specialized training and certifications by the manufacturer of the gear that will be used on your skydive. We use only the most modern, highest-quality equipment, and our training courses are at the cutting edge of industry guidelines.
Personalized One-on-one Experience.
Our USPA-certified tandem skydiving instructors will make sure you have the best skydive in the Midwest. After meeting you, they will then train you in all the aspects of your tandem jump. Next, you will be equipped with a harness and escorted to your airplane by your instructor and videographer, who will help you during boarding, the ride to altitude, and during the jump itself. After landing, they’ll walk you back into the hangar and give you your First Jump Certificate, as well as answer any questions you may have about getting a skydiving license
Scenic Views.
Our primary skydiving aircraft is one of the most sought after in the industry. The Glidersports Beech 99 and Cessna 206 are the newest and fastest jump ships in the region, with the capacity to hold larger groups and get you higher, faster!
Best Airplane.
The midwest is well known for its vast and wide open spaces. Open flat spaces are great for safe landing areas (of which we have plenty,) but everyone wants a skydive with a view! We are very fortunate to have the beautiful and scenic Truman Lake Reservoir so close to our facility. Sunsets at Glidersports are simply breathtaking!

“We had a seriously awesome first Skydiving experience! The instructors are super nice and approachable and the process felt very safe and routine. We did a tandem jump with 60 seconds of free fall and the experience was surreal and thrilling, and it was the perfect length of time in free fall. The video and photos turned out so cool and its really amazing to be able to watch it back and relive it! The property was absolutely beautiful and it was a great place to spend the day!”
Whitney Feltrop
“First time jumper for my 60th birthday. It’s a bucket list thing! I felt totally safe and the staff were super! I had such a great experience. My wife was nervous about the whole thing until she saw how professional and well run the operation is. Put her at ease and she actually enjoyed watching me and our son jump. I wholeheartedly recommend this place and the experience we had was top notch!”
