# Skydive Kentucky – Tandem Skydiving, AFF Training & Sport Jumping in Elizabethtown

Skydive Kentucky is a full-service skydiving center located at Addington Field (EKX) in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, just 50 miles south of Louisville and 2 miles from the nearest hotel. Operating year-round with flexible scheduling—Friday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to dusk in summer, and weekend operations throughout winter with a 10 a.m. to dusk schedule—the dropzone welcomes first-time jumpers and experienced skydivers alike.

The facility operates twin Cessna 182 aircraft, enabling regular jump cycles and reliable service. For those traveling from Nashville or other nearby areas, Skydive Kentucky's proximity to Louisville (via I-65 from the Nashville side) makes it easily accessible. The dropzone provides detailed directions from Louisville via I-655, exit 91, and from the Nashville area via I-75 to exit 136.

Skydive Kentucky offers three primary skydiving experiences. Tandem jumps—available by appointment and highly recommended—provide an introduction to the sport with an experienced instructor. The Static Line program is recommended for those beginning their training journey, while Accelerated Freefall (AFF) allows more intensive instruction over approximately 6 hours. The facility also serves experienced sport jumpers seeking additional jumps, with pricing of $60 per jump. Video services are available to capture your skydiving experience.

The dropzone caters to multiple audiences. First-time tandem jumpers can experience the thrill with minimal training required. Students pursuing a U.S. Parachute Association License find structured AFF and Static Line training programs designed for skill progression. Experienced jumpers appreciate the straightforward extra-jump pricing and regular aircraft operations.

Skydive Kentucky emphasizes safety and enjoyment equally. The site's first rule—"Have Fun!"—reflects the dropzone's commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. The facility is staffed with experienced and dedicated instructors and crew focused on delivering personalized jumping experiences.

Amenities include equipment rentals and sales, packing services, and rigging services, along with Wi-Fi for those waiting between jumps. The Southern Region location and established operational schedule make Skydive Kentucky a consistent resource for the Kentucky skydiving community and visitors seeking a legitimate, full-service dropzone experience.
