  1. Jim Hayhurst has been selected as USPA’s Director of Competition. Hayhurst became a USPA member in 1971, accumulating more than 10,000 jumps since, many of them in training or as a top competitor, principally in style and accuracy. He’s earned the title of Overall U.S. Style and Accuracy Champion a total of eight times since 1977. He has been selected to be on the U.S. Parachute Team more than 20 times, earning multiple international medals. In 1996, Hayhurst was elected to USPA’s Board of Directors, where he served two terms on the Competition Committee. Hayhurst graduated with honors from the U.S. Air Force Academy and served as a fighter pilot and executive officer until leaving the U.S. Air Force in 1983. He then became an airline pilot, logging more than 16,000 hours before retiring in 2005. "We are looking forward to putting Jim’s long experience in, and deep passion for, skydiving competition to work," noted USPA Executive Director Ed Scott. "With his help, USPA will enhance communication between all those skydivers interested in competing or setting records." I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
  2. From the USPA web page. A bill that would have required state regulation of skydiving in Indiana went nowhere by the February close of the state’s legislative session. The bill would have required the state’s Office of Aviation to inspect and certify DZs, funded by new fees placed on those DZs. Within days of the bill’s introduction by a state senator, USPA Executive Director Ed Scott convened a meeting in Indianapolis among the four Indiana DZs, their USPA Safety & Training Advisors, and Amy Romig and Brett Nelson, two USPA members who are Indianapolis attorneys and experienced lobbyists. After an unfruitful meeting with the bill’s sponsor, USPA supplied the chairman of the Senate Commerce and Economic Development Committee with an explanation of existing USPA requirements and Federal Aviation Administration regulations, arguing that additional state regulation was unnecessary. The chairman agreed, and did not allow the bill to move through his committee. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

  15. What is going on now is a sleazy underhanded deal and it stinks too. A few are trying to take over this Federal and State Taxpayer funded airport as their own private airport at the expense of the local economy. If it were not for Skydiving this airport would have been closed 30 years ago. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
