Landing Area
STP has 2 primary landing areas. The main landing area, a grassy, wide open field, is for jumpers of all levels. There is also a high performance landing area designated for swoopers. Both are an easy walk back to the packing area. Here is an aerial photo of the DZ and the surrounding area: Here is another photo of the landing area, looking toward the West:
Skydive the Point, established in 1962, is one of the oldest skydiving clubs in the United States. Because we are a club, our objective is to be safe, have fun and continuously improve the DZ. So whether you’re into RW, freeflying, wingsuits, canopy piloting or any other discipline, if you’re looking for a DZ that jumps hard, knows how to have fun and loves having new folks join in, this is the place for you!
Skydive the Point has moved to a new home at the “Virginia Skydiving Center”…the most scenic dropzone in Virginia!!! Please come visit us in our new digs at Dinwiddie County Airport, just 30 minutes south of downtown Richmond. Our big new hangar, large, comfortable Grand Caravan, and large grassy landing area is sure to please. Check us out on Facebook and at http://www.virginiaskydivingcenter.com. Blue Skies!
