New USPA Headquarters Open for Business
3331 replied to 3331's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
On Thursday and Friday, April 27-28, USPA, its staff, and all of their belongings loaded up and made the 50 -mile trek south from Alexandria to its new home in Fredericksburg, Virginia . The brand-new 8,200 square foot state-of-the-art facility houses 17 full-time employees and provides convenient access to members and visitors from Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1. As of Monday, May 1, it was back to business for all USPA employees—albeit with a more professional-looking and comfortable work environment. All mail and phone calls from the previous location will be forwarded. Direct all new mail and phone calls to: USPA 5401 Southpoint Centre Boulevard Fredericksburg, VA 22407 Phone: (540) 604-9740 Fax: (540) 604-9741 I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving. -
About Hartwood: In 2004 the Airport was sold. I don't think there is anymore jumping there. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

Skydive The Point West Point, Virginia located east of Richmond. http://www.skydivethepoint.com/ A Matriarchal club founded in 1962, very dog friendly. Everyone speaks Australian, Canadian and British fluently. PAC 750 or Twin Otter every weekend. A Casa on special weekends like Memorial Day coming up. On Friday afternoons jump the Fireball 182, call first because of limited seating on the Fireball 182. Large flat grass landing area, river close by and a shit load of trees. Four Women from West Point were on "Jump For the Cause". Two men were on the POPs Florida state record in March. This is THE Home DZ of Carol Clay, the Queen of Free Fall RW (15,000 jumps and still going). We got class. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

Quotenot any more. the lease ran out... Suffolk is the only one that owns a Pac ------------------------------- West Point Virginia gets the PAC 750 from Carolina Sky Sports in Franklinton, North Carolina. I just talked to Paul Fayard, my phone is still hot. The most polite way to say it is, you don't have the facts. West Point will continue to have a PAC 750 and a Twin Otter.

From the USPA web site. What comes to mind when you think about the USPA Wings logo? Venerable? Revered? Historic? Traditional? Old-fashioned? Outdated? All of the above. In this 60th year of service, USPA need to contemporize its brand while honoring its past. So we’re keeping the legacy logo, while looking to the future with something new. USPA is looking for logo ideas to supplement (but not supplant) the existing trademark wings. Nike has its “swoosh” and Enron has its fallen “E.” What should USPA have? Logo submissions should be e-mailed to (communications@uspa.org) no later than May 15 for consideration. Submissions can be in .tif, .jpg, .pdf or .eps format and should include the artist’s name, membership number, contact information and a brief description of the design. The winning logo will debut in Parachutist. The artist will receive a free USPA lifetime membership or award of equivalent value if already a lifetime member. Contact USPA for more information.

From the USPA Web Site. The FAA has older airplanes in their sights, and USPA is involved to make sure the right actions are forthcoming. Hosting a conference entitled, “Aging General Aviation Aircraft,” in Kansas City last week, the FAA said it is concerned that the average general aviation aircraft is 35 years old. The agency says it wants to be proactive and prevent accidents due to corrosion and metal fatigue. The FAA is especially concerned with for-hire operations flown for special uses, like skydiving. To make sure the FAA understands skydiving operations, USPA attended the conference with a two-fold message: “First, maintain a high level of safety for skydivers by ensuring continued airworthiness,” said Ed Scott, USPA’s director of government relations. “But also use cost-effective maintenance and reporting strategies that don’t make operations cost-prohibitive and don’t create throw-away airplanes.” USPA has joined the working group that will review for-hire operations.

The "POPTop" was not John’s idea; he bought the rights from Ted Strong. --------------------------------- This is correct, John paid Ted Strong for many years and the agreement expired ten years ago. According to John Sherman, Dan Poynter invented the Pop Top while working for Ted Strong. Just trying to keep it real. I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
