Skydive Tecumseh

Skydive Tecumseh is a long-established dropzone in Jackson, Michigan, operating from Napoleon Airport (SNP) with a track record of consistent weekend operations. Located between Jackson and Ann Arbor, the facility is positioned 10 miles southeast of Jackson and 5 miles from the nearest hotel, making it accessible for both local jumpers and visiting skydivers.

The dropzone operates a King Air aircraft and offers jumps to approximately 14,000 feet, with freefall lasting around 7 minutes. Skydive Tecumseh has built its reputation on experienced, freejumper-friendly staff who organize regular weekend operations with a focus on creating a welcoming atmosphere for all skill levels.

For those pursuing formal skydiving credentials, Skydive Tecumseh is a USPA member and offers the AFF (Accelerated Freefall) program, a comprehensive training progression from ground school through independent skydiving. The facility's ground school and AFF Level 1 training course costs $399, with subsequent category jumps priced at $245–$255 each. Students progress from the initial 14,000-foot jump with two instructors to solo jumps under coaching supervision. The program includes a 2.0% solo discount. After completing 25 jumps and the required progression, students can earn their USPA A License.

Beyond student training, Skydive Tecumseh supports recreational and licensed jumpers, with tandem skydiving available for first-time flyers. The dropzone features videography services, allowing guests to capture and purchase footage of their jumps. Gift certificates starting at $25 make skydiving accessible as an experience gift.

On-site amenities support comfort during weekend jump days: the facility provides designated camping areas, equipment rentals and sales, packing services, rigging services, RV spaces with electricity, shower facilities, and Wi-Fi connectivity. These amenities reflect a focus on creating a complete weekend experience rather than a quick jump-and-go operation.

The Skydive Tecumseh team is described as highly experienced and readily available to answer questions about training programs and recreational jumping. The dropzone emphasizes safety and confidence-building for students, positioning its instructors as partners in the journey toward independent skydiving. This approach, combined with the consistent weekend schedule and established local presence, makes Skydive Tecumseh a reliable choice for both aspiring skydivers in the Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Lansing areas and experienced jumpers seeking a friendly, well-organized drop zone in Michigan.
