New DZ in VIRGINIA.

[3331 137]

Virginia Skydiving Center opening Oct. 15-16. Located at the Dinwiddie Airport near Petersburg, VA. Conveniently situated right off of I-85. Lots of motels and restaurants close by, even a Holiday Inn.

Indoor packing, shelter from the sun and rain.

New logo attached.

I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

Kool...thats where Jim Couch and the West Point gang are moving correct? So I guess no more skydiving at the point?

That looks like a great place for a DZ. The airport is big and open with lots of runways, There are no neighborhoods too close. It's convenient to the interstates and a good sized town. This just might work!

Good luck VSC!

That's AWESOME!!!

Congrats to Jim and his entire group up there. I wish you all many years of beautiful blues to jump and smooth relations with all your neighbors.
Good luck with the trailer park and the swoop pond too!

Oh my, right near my sister in Richmond. I'm getting an urge to go visit my dear old Sis!

[normiss 798]

She really hates it when you come over to visit, spend all your time at the nearest dz then come home loud, drunk, and cussing!

Can't wait! See you guys and the new DZ soon!

Also saves me 1 hr drive to the new location, awesome

Semi Grand opening this weekend with a King Air. Lots of places to stay over night.
Beer is permitted after jumping.

Don't be a Beer Rat Snitch to the Airport Authority.

Eh..for the record, we go OFFSITE for after hours consumption. We had a pretty kickass cookout this past weekend @ Picture Lake Campground, with hopefully many more gatherings to follow. Pics @VSC on Facebook.

Just remember, if anyone from sLyride calls you in an effort to get you to do business with them, hang up in their face! It looks like you have a good thing going, don't screw it up by getting in bed with them criminals at sLyride!!!

P.S. and don't forget all their latest names, Sportations, American Flight adventures, Plutian and a couple of others!

Refuse to Lose!!!
Failure is NOT an option!

Give it a rest, dude. This "new" DZ in Virginia has been operating for over 50 years at a different airport. I think they know who Skyride is.

Grand Caravan permanently based at Virginia Skydiving Center. Carries 17 jumpers and look at the size of that door.

How did we ever get out of a Beech D 18 in full conventional gear ?

Please show me where I missed it.
