Oceanside, CA old time DZ info needed!
Can't Post
Hi guys, The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce is putting together a 125 year book for the city. They want to chronicle the jumping history at the airport over the years. If you guys have any photos of back in the day, and stories, let me know. Thanks! Rich DZO at Oceanside http://www.tsunamiskydivers.com

H ripcord,
Yes, there was.
A guy, fresh out of the Marines, showed up at a local dz with a jumpsuit that has some San Marcos Skydivers patch on it. He said that he had started there.

Hi Jerry,
Dug out my OLD logbook from back then and there it was..San Marcos. Jumped there twice with my raggedy-ass old 28' cheapo in 1963 while I was staging for my tour on Okinawa. Damn...that was almost 50 years ago...time flies, huh?
