New Owner at Ventures Skydiving
Air Ventures Skydiving in Rome, Georgia, is now Atlanta Air Sportz. Sandor Vali and Ron Green are the new owners. Over the next couple of months many changes will be made at Atlanta Air Sportz including the additional covered packing area as well as a huge observation deck and a new big building. Other additions include the completion of the swoop pond, a full service rigging loft as well as other additions specifically for the "up-jumper". They will also be providing packing classes as well as license prep classes on a regular basis. USPA certification courses will be announced soon. Check out their new website at www.airsportz.com. It is still under construction so be patient, however, if you have comments or suggestions please let them know.
