This weekend is the official celebration of the 35th anniversary of my home DZ, Canton Airsports in Alliance, OH.
As a dropzone that has become, literally, a weekend home to us NE Ohio jumpers, we’re excited to gather together and celebrate as a family.
(A coincidental find by my good friend Christa in a local parking lot. Makes me smile!)
The caravan will once again be on loan from the ever generous John Hart of Start Skydiving. We’ve been lucky to have a bigger plane for certain weekends this year, including the inaugural, and highly successful, Jump for Diabetes that was held in August.
The weather is supposed to be beautiful in our neck of the woods this weekend too!
So hopefully, you’ll see us all in our glory, jumping and packing and dirt diving away, and spending some quality time together around the bon fire in celebration of 35 great years as a premier Ohio dropzone.

If you’re in the area, stop on by for a load or two, or even an after-hours beer. All are welcome at Canton Airsports.
Where ever you end up this weekend…
Blue skies!

Wow, this looks awesome. I so want to get into skydiving. I need to find a place like this near Bowling Green, OH. Maybe trade web design skills for the first few jumps. Congratulations on 35 years!
Traventure Man – skydiving is an incredible sport. I recommend it to anyone who’s ever wanted to give it a try.
I do know people who have traded skills like that for jumps – though most of the big dropzones that would be within driving distance for you are already covered as far as I know. I’d recommend looking into it though.
Thanks for reading!
