Skydive Mountaineer held its inaugural weekend May 18-19 at the Maley Field Airport in Shinniston, West Virginia. The new DZ is operating a Cessna 182, taking off from North Central West Virginia Airport in Clarksburg and landing at Maley Field. DZO Chris Egress has been working with USPA on airport access since last fall. The new DZ is in the process of applying to become a USPA Group Member. Skydive Mountaineer offers tandem jumps and invites licensed skydivers to fun jump at the DZ.
