Gist

Home of the Baltimore Skydivers in Central Maryland, west of Eldersburg. First photo is of Art packing a 7-TU circa 1965. When things like flaking, packing mats, line separators, shotbags, holding tension, and squaring away the skirt were familiar terms. The club existed from 1961 to 1976. Jumping stopped at this location in 1968. It later went to Woodbine.

Wanda Cooper Goldberg D-706 was the first woman skydiver in Maryland. The shot at the lower right shows her in freefall. The DZ is in the upper left of the photo.
