A good friend of mine is one of the jump masters out there at the skydiving
deal they have. I flew in there on a Sunday a couple years ago and spent
part of the day riding in the Caravan and watching people jump out at
14,500, it was crazy! In the few hours I was there I think I saw one other
aircraft (other than the Caravan) movement the entire time.

I noticed that they had an active jump bunch there. I was hoping that
would mean an active flying community. Guess not.

I know a few large companies have moved out of Richmond and nearby
Connersville which had a Visteon plant and this really hurt the GA traffic
into Richmond, we had the same thing up in Anderson with businesses leaving
there as well.
