I am from NM. but planned a vacation in NC.for June of this year (2010). I tagged up with a jumper from NC. and he recommended this place. I am very glad he did! The place opened at 9:00 and within 30 minutes they had a load up in a King Air. Wow! 8 minutes to jump run! Went back a week later and they had an Otter hauling loads. Everyone there treated me like it was my home DZ. All the staff were very professional and very friendly. I loved the packing area, large enough for everyone to have a place to pack with room left over, and soft rubber mats (a lot better than carpet). The landing area was as good as it gets. Large enough for students and a short walk to the packing hanger If I'm ever anywhere close to this DZ, I will Definitely jump here again. It doesn't get any better than this place!!!

Elijah will be remembered for a lot of things by a lot of people. One of my favorite memories is when I struggling to get my "A" license, he jumped with me 5 times in one day. He didn't give me anything, he made me work for it. Right after I got my "A" license, I talked my wife into making her first jump - a tandem. I was on the load with her. Elijah flew camera on that jump, and didn't charge us anything. Little did I know then that my log book would have a lot of jumps with Elijah jumping with me. And I still smile about the naked night jump. I was on that load too. Fly free my friend, I'll miss you.
