Skydive Virginia provides various aircraft at various times during the year for our clientele. Our flagship is a Beechcraft King Air B90 jet turbo prop that carries 14 jumpers. We also fly a Cessna 182, the standard work horse of the skydiving industry.

King Air - N394AL

Our Beechcraft King Air B90 made its debut as a skydiving platform in 1998, at Skydive Virginia. Before that, it was maintained as a Part 135 operations aircraft meaning its maintainance has been and continues to be strictly standards-compliant. It has been modified for jumpcraft operations: external floater bar and huge external step. It's a pretty tight fast climbing jumpship, so come and check it out.

Cessna 182 - N7105E

N7105E is a quick climbing, high tail model, with STOL mods and a specially fit, high density foam floor outfitted with the normal 4 FAA certified jumper seatbelts in addition to the pilots seatbelt. Currently, it is aluminum finished (you should have seen the ugly green it was before we removed it in the winter of 1995), but we are looking into different color schemes for it.

Visiting Aircraft

In the past we have used aircraft at various boogies (skydiving conventions) that we have hosted. Since we have the connections, we were able to bring in extra aircraft during boogies that were higher load than we originally thought it would be (as per our $65/day jump as much as you like boogie).

The aircraft which have used at Skydive Virginia for some of great skydiving boogies are:

The Super Casa (30+ people) and a regular casa (23 people). The one shown is a regular casa.

Twin Otter (22 people)...
