About Skydive K-State
Since 1964, the Kansas State University Parachute Club has made thousands of skydives over Kansas, and we are proud to call Abilene home.
Skydive K-State is the Kansas State University Parachute Club, founded in 1964 and based at Abilene Municipal Airport in Kansas. It is the only collegiate parachute club in the United States that owns its own airplane and runs its own drop zone, and it is open to everyone, not just students.
The K-State Parachute Club has been jumping since 1964. We are an officially registered student organization of Kansas State University, and we are the only collegiate parachute club in the United States that owns its own airplane and runs its own dropzone.
You do not have to be a student. We offer solo static line training and tandem jumps to everyone, along with professional exhibition jumps. As a group member dropzone of the United States Parachute Association (USPA), we use only USPA-certified instructors and training methods. Come join the fun.
