West Tennessee Skydiving, Whiteville

When West Tennessee Skydiving's B90 King Air fires up its engines, it instantly becomes capable of hauling up to 14 passengers 14,500 feet into the air in seven minutes. Once the plane reaches that altitude, there's only one thing left for its passengers to do: jump.

Located on a private, 110-acre airfield, West Tennessee Skydiving facilitates skydiving experiences just 40 miles east of downtown Memphis. The company's entire setup is designed to serve the needs of skydivers, right down to a full-scale model aircraft where divers can practice exiting the plane. USPA instructors accompany tandem dives, which are the first steps toward accelerated free fall program that teaches divers more advanced skydiving skills.
