airann 1 #9 May 16, 2003 To the 'new' Wharton DZ, congradulations, blue skies, and best of luck. Any airplane at altitude with an open door is a good place to jump from. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuckakers 426 #11 June 2, 2003 How funny - I originally named SDH "Houston Skydiving Center", or HSC for short. Nice to see the name back in use. And nice to see Wharton back in use too. Best layout in the area for a DZ, especially for students. CA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #15 June 2, 2003 Yup. Chuck Akers.
