A typical person arriving at SWC is going to see a fairly large group of people smiling, laughing, and enjoying life in general.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

This DZ was my weekend home since I was 8 years old,and everyone there is like famely. there was nothing me or my brother could do with out my dad hearing about it. this is a very good DZ that you can take your kids to so they can watch you jump.

Professionalism   Vibe   Aircraft   Facilities   Services   Location

I went to DZ with sort of a problem being
a bit on the larger size. I work construction and weight lift so my weight
was to high for student chutes,most people would have just said no but the staff at Wayne County DZ were great
Jamie and Amy worked things out with one of the instructors and two weeks later I am taking my class for static line and have made 2 jumps and have plans to get my license in the spring. If there were
a award for the greatest peaple and DZ they would get my vote. GREAT PEAPLE ARE HARD TO FIND. A+++++

5 of 13 people found the following review helpful: Rocks my world! Rated by: rocketdog on 2004-01-15 (user profile) (user reviews) Review of: Skydive Wayne County, Inc.   Pros: every discipline, friendly/outgoing staff + safety-conscious Cons: its a seasonal DZ

Skydive Wayne County is a top-notch dropzone and is run with the highest quality of safety. Not only is it a USPA-affiliated dropzone, but the instructors are knowledgeable, the aircraft is well-maintained, and the entire environment is inviting. Members do their best to accommodate everyone: from students to migrating, experienced jumpers. Check out the "THE" Boogie *AND* visit before that to see the skydiving community.

*ADDED BONUS* -- office/ manifest/ some staff/ supervising positions are female-driven!!! (Jaime, Amy, Donna, Hollywood, etc. ROCK!)

What a super friendly DZ. In what seems like the middle of nowhere is a very large airport - over 800 acres according to rumors.

This is the home of the famous Richmond "The Boogie" - mother of all boogies. The dream started by legends like the Stewart family and Roger Nelson is alive and well under the eye of a much younger, but still skydiver-oriented family owner Jaime.

I don't know how she does it, sometimes. The weather sucks for months out of the year, but somehow she has managed to keep a turbine flying the rest of the year.

If you are in the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Dayton or Columbus areas, call first for detailed directions. The shortcuts by back-roads can cut off a good bit of drive-time from some of these places.

There are couches to crash on, and ample camping space, but it's very close to Richmond, with decent restaurants and lodging.

Tell Jaime Cajones sent you!

First of all the area is an awesome place to skydive with green fields of corn and beans and sleepy farm houses for miles in every direction. The local people are so sincere and friendly, city types will be taken aback.

The '03 Boogie was as efficiently run as any I've seen in my 20 short years, including the now infamous Quincy. Rides included a helicopter, biplanes, Skyvan, Otters and the Chicagoland Kingaire.

The wait for jumps was nearly non-exsistent. In addition none of the disappointing behavior from jumpers or locals was seen; whatever might have occured was swiftly handled thanks to the fatherly supervision of DZO Steve Stewart and his family.

Food at the event supplied by local vendors and onsite restraunteurs was excellent and fair priced.

If your not totally impressed with the Richmond Labor Day Boogie- I'll eat a bug.

I've been to a few places in the states and this dropzone kicks the proverbial behind. The weather tends to roll in v. quickly in this part of the world but the pilots and instructors called each situation impeccably. Staff members are super friendly and incredibly helpfull. V. large packing area, efficient riggers, massive landing area (which never mattered as every spot was bang on) and buckets of fun. Dropzone owner is a diamond too. Cant give the place enough praise, well worth the 3000 mile journey.

This is my home dz... cant say much other than I have 3 other dz that are closer and I have never been to them... I would rather drive 1.5 hours than even take a weekend to check out a dz thats 20 min away! the people are great...I love the way that there is not the segregation here. The FF's get along with RW's and etc... whatever your discipline this palce can accomodate (shy of a swoop pond). Home of THE boogie make this place awesome as it is, but even on a "normal" weekend we get hoppin and try everything. This past weekend for example I did 13 jumps of which included hop and pops, track dives, free fly, hoola hoop jumps, swooping, and a little more freefly:) all in all this is a great place and if you are in Indianapolis, or Cincinatti, or Columbus you should check this out...

I went to richmond for The Boogie in 2002. What an awesome time. They had top notch organizers and i learned a lot. I can't wait to go back on a "normal" weekend to see what the place is like. But if you've never been to a Richmond Boogie, you don't know what you're missing!!
