About Us
The Sky Knights are a sport parachute club that have been training first jump students for over 47 years. Some of our current members have been here since the beginning!
Skydive Milwaukee™ is the dropzone owned and operated by the club in East Troy, WI. We are the only Skydive Milwaukee on the web that is an actual DZ — watch out for "gift-certificate"-peddling impostors.
You'll hear people refer to us as "Skydive Milwaukee" and "Sky Knights" interchangeably — including ourselves.
Our location is an easy drive from the Milwaukee, Chicago, and Madison metro areas, making us home to experienced jumpers throughout the region.
Our professional and dedicated staff adhere to all Federal Aviation Administration and United States Parachute Association safety guidelines. Instructors are all USPA-certified and maintain current ratings by undergoing annual evaluations. Our student gear is FAA-approved and equipped with backup Automatic Activation Devices. Everyone at Skydive Milwaukee is committed to making sure your skydiving experience is safe and the most exhilarating event of your life.
Whether you're thinking of taking up the sport as a fully certified skydiver, or you just want to know why the birds sing -- this is your drop zone. We offer 2 types of skydiving instruction to fit your budget and sense of adventure.
We have a spacious covered packing shed, wide open landing areas, heated/air conditioned classrooms, and some of the friendliest jumpers around. Come out and spend a day with us!
