DZ's with life flight also on the airport

[stratostar 5]

I'm interested in making a list of DZ's in the USA who share the same airport with a life flight operation. If your home DZ or DZ you know of, share an airport with life flight please add it to the list. Thanks.

1. Skydive Alabama, Cullman AL.
2. Start Skydiving, Lebanon Oh.

Previously Eagle Flight Skydiving in Granbury Texas was at an airport where a medical helicopter was based. That skydiving operation has recently moved to Hillsboro Texas, and is now known as Skydive 35.

The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

Why are you looking for this info and about Lear Jet DZ's in the other thread? Just curious....

[stratostar 5]

Please read the OP and understand that the word "Life Flight" means an air ambulance operation. FYI- Most times it's helicopters.

Please keep this thread on topic and add to the list or don't and move on thanks.

(I have my reasons for asking for the info, help if you like or not)

Okay, my mistake. Since it didn't specify, I thought "life flight" was a typo for "live flight." I've edited out my original post.

so the reason is secret?

[AggieDave 6]

Eagle Flight is not in Granbury anymore, so I don't know if it still counts.

Skydive Aggieland Bryan, TX has PHI which is an air med.

No, it's a common reason why airport boards/cities/counties try to deny access to general aviation airports. "we have life flight operations and mixing the two would be unsafe" & "Parachuting would cause delay's to the life flight operation"

It's a federal funding thing, you wouldn't understand if you have to keep asking, why?

USPA couldn't produce a list when asked, so I'm asking jumpers here, knowing there a many locations in the USA that share the same airport with life flight operations without any problem.

1. Skydive Alabama, Cullman AL.
2. Start Skydiving, Lebanon Oh.
3. The Parachute Center, Lodi, CA
4. Kutztown PA.
5. Tennessee Skydiving, Tullahoma TN
6. Oklahoma Skydive Center, Cushing Ok.
7. Skydive the Point, West Point VA.
8. Eagle Flight Granbury Tx. (counting cuz it had been there for years)
9. Skydive Aggieland Bryan, TX

Regarding #4, Kutztown Skydiving Center shared at the previous airport with Life Flight, it was never an issue, we always knew to keep an eye out for them. But KSC is moving to Perkiomen Valley Airport in Collegeville, PA this spring, so I don't know if there is a Life Flight there or not.

And the Cullman, AL airport's Life Flight center has an employee EMT who is also a skydiver, and the two entities get along great.

I think that any record, current or historical, of skydiving and life flight/business jet traffic is a useful data point.

The fact is they managed to co-exist.

Interesting, especially when you consider that Jim Crouch is an active member (if not also on the "board" of West Point (STP).

Anyone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they've actually got a fairly friendly, if not even symbiotic relationship with the Regional Air Ambulance (Madevac) operation that shares their ramp.

FWIW.

Yeah, I got that response when I looked into starting a DZ in Jefferson, GA. Never encountered such a high concentration of intentionally ignorant people in my life.

Good luck!

This website list's 264 Dropzone's in the USA, I find it hard to believe that there are only 10 active dz's in the USA with life flight operations on the field.

(10 because two on the list have moved to new locations or closed, but were there for a longtime)

1. Skydive Alabama, Cullman AL.
2. Start Skydiving, Lebanon Oh.
3. The Parachute Center, Lodi, CA
4. Kutztown PA.

9. Skydive Aggieland Bryan, TX
10. Skydive Kansas, Osage City KS.
11. Skydive Pennsylvania, Grove City, PA
12. Adrenaline Air, Santa Rosa, CA

Anyone have active dz's to add to the list?

Thanks
