A Little History

Skydiving at Pepperell Airport began in the late 1950's. The first
commercial drop zone was opened in 1971 by Ted Strong of Strong Enterprises.

Over the years a number of other owners kept the skydiving business going.
In 1991 the current owners began running the operation and soon after
Skydive Pepperell obtained a 21 place Twin Otter aircraft. The 60+ acre
airport has been attentively groomed to provide a lush grassy landing area
that is flat and free of obstacles. Skippy's Drop-In Cafe provides food and
beverages to the crowd throughout the day. The Parachute Shop, which is
located on-site, provides a climate controlled rigging loft and gear store
for jumper convenience. The skydiving center is open 7 days per week from
mid- March to mid November. During other times of the year the skydiving
center is open weather permitting when aircraft are available.
