Yes, and they meet every weekend at Skydive the Point in West Point, VA.
C'mon out!

Okay, just kidding. Tech had a club when I was there, but I was too poor to
join. You should probably contact the student organizations group at
school. If that doesn't work, call the local dz's and ask them

Adrenaline Air Sports/Skydive Blue Ridge - Smith Mountain Lake Airport,
Moneta tel: (540) 296-1100

Blue Ridge Skydiving - Burnt Chimney Airport tel: (540) 721-3089

Correct. At least it used to be. I haven't checked in at Orange lately....

members...

Nope, I believe they jump at Adrenaline Airsports/Skydive Blue Ridge at Smith
Mt Lake. This beautiful DZ is home to DZO Billy Cockrell, the 2nd most handsome
AFF instructor in the Galaxy

They did I few years ago- last time I donated money to VT I stipulated it go
to the skydiving club. They probably used the money for beer.

I never had the cash to jump when I was a student. Probably because I used
it for beer, too.

I think the President's name was Dave something, and at the time they were
also jumping at a DZ in NC. They have a website that you can find through
www.vt.edu, but it hasn't changed in years so it may be dead.

Good luck, go hokies.

Thanks for all of your help everyone.

I managed to find their website via vt.edu.

I don't know if the club is still active or not but apparently the
contact is someone named Billy at Adrenaline Air Sports.

Yes, Virginia Tech does have a skydiving club...we've had one forever,
and have switched DZ's a few times over the course of the last 20
years but now we jump at Adrenaline Air Sports at the Smith Mountain
Lake Airport (known for good times w/ spaghetti)...home of the
infamous DZO "Rocketman."

All our active members seemed to graduate at roughly the same time
leaving pretty much nothing; but we're rebuilding now and are comin
right along under the leadership of a damn fine president....me --
WOOLLY. we have about 10 licensed, or pretty close to licensed, VT
student jumpers in the club and a handfull of whuffos b/c they are
girls and they look good. seriously though, any VT student can be a
part of the club, so if ur interested in skydiving or the club or
botch email me (my email address is below)

if you're a tech student and a skydiver; then we need to chat...i have
all this beer over here at my place and im not quite sure i can drink
it by myself; and we're havin a par tay tomorrow night here at my
place. since shitty weather has closed AAS for the weekend, i figure
we might as well get shitfaced since there's no reason to wake up
early on sat. email me at sky...@vt.edu

our website (http://filebox.vt.edu/org/skydiving/) is extemely
outdated and im working to gettin it updated. i dont know shit about
webpage design, so if anyone out there in the area has some contacts,
let me know. check out Adrenaline's website at www.air-sports.com
though, its just been updated w/ some dag-on fine pictures in the
photo gallery...girls, check out the bearded, bald guy with the black
/ white / gray / silver jumpsuit....dead sexy, aint he?

ok, that's all i got right now. yall take care. BLUE SKIES!

STL,

WOOLLY!

PS. P.K., thanks for tellin me a/b this! SHOCKER baby!
