VETERANS ADVENTURE GROUP - AIR PROGRAMS

Our mission is to share the world of skydiving with veterans who have never experienced the thrill of jumping out of an aircraft.   

Our vision is to: 

• Provide veterans who are wounded and may be unable to pursue a skydiving license, opportunities to skydive.
• Encourage participation from older generations of veterans to experience skydiving for the first time.
• Allow those who were airborne to relive the excitement of the jump.
• Reward veterans and families who have been active in the veteran community through tandem skydives.
• Honor Cory Remsburg through sharing an activity he truly loves.

Provide tandem skydiving opportunities for a wide range of veterans who are active leaders in the veteran community as a show of our gratitude for their contribution.

This program was started in honor of Cory Remsburg, a former Army Ranger who was wounded in combat.  He was airborne in the military and loved jumping from airplanes and helicopters. Due to the injuries he sustained, he was unable to pursue his skydiving license but still wanted to experience the thrill of the jump. 

Veterans Adventure Group organized a tandem skydive for him out of Skydive Arizona and he wanted the program to continue serving others.  As such, this program organizes tandem skydiving opportunities for veterans at various locations across the United States.  We primarily work with 3 categories of veterans for this program.   

• Wounded veterans- Due to physical limitations caused by certain injuries, some veterans may find difficulty in pursuing their skydiving license.  This program aims to provide a method so they can still experience the sport.

• Older veterans- There are many veterans from the older generation that still have young blood in their veins.  Some of these veterans have never jumped before while others were airborne during their service.  Whether it’s their first time or they wish to relive the rush of jumping out of that open door, we’re honored to provide this opportunity to a demographic of veterans who are underserved in the outdoor space.  

• Veterans active in their communities- Veterans are known to be active participants in their communities and are seldom recognized.  This program is a small way we can say thank you to those veterans.  For this program we prefer nominations.
