    This placed has been closed now for several years. There wasn't much to it. A short dirt runway, small landing area and very little outs. If you are in Virginia, you really should check out West Point. Big landing area (largest in VA), great views all the way to the ocean, very friendly people. It is also located close to the highway (15-20 minutes from the interstate). Compared to other DZ where you have to drive 45 minutes or more on country roads.



    Great views to the ocean? You sure about that? 15-20 minutes from the interstate? Not if you are coming from the north, if so you do need to spend 45 minutes on country roads to get there.

    Great dz, just pointing out some incorrect info in your post.

    So? It doesn't mean that mistakes can't still be made and things can't still be learned. I've even personally seen a "light bulb moment" for the top Airspeed guys while organizing before. It happens. The truly good skydivers laugh at themselves while sharing a beer around the bonfire and learn from it.



    What do you mean SO??? I was pointing out a fact. I wasnt saying that the fact doesnt mean they are impervious to making mistakes. I wasnt saying nothing cant be learned. I wasnt saying this wouldnt be laughed at around the bonfire. As a matter of fact, what I was doing was giving a clue as to who said jumpers were since everyone was asking who they were.

    Got it? Dont "SO" me again.

    Rumor going around my dz is they were green beret guys. Don't quote me on that, but I've heard it from a couple of different people.



    That would be a negative.
