Skydiving in SOMD
I was wondering if there are any places to go skydiving around here? Does anyone know if the airport up in Wildewood does skydiving?

Years ago, a friend's son jumped there. Not sure about now though.

There used to be jumpers out of the airport years ago but from what I remember, they had to stop because some of the jumpers were landing
in surrounding farmland and disturbing the cows and stuff.

Skydive Orange is around for a long time and has a good reputation.

Skydive West Point on the middle penninsula is another professional operation that is around for a while
