‘Chuting Star
“A few feet from the fenced-in entrance, there resides the hollow carcass of a single-engine plane, its parts strewn about like the bones of a skeleton. Fifty feet behind it sits a 6,400-square-foot hangar, a common site to area residents but a second home to the region’s X-factor folk. This is what’s known as a drop zone, a place where skydiving enthusiasts bond and boogey 13,500 feet above ground. This is Skydive Orange.” – Virginia’s Neighbors
