The Parachute Industry Association is comprised of companies and individuals united by a common desire to improve business opportunities in this segment of aviation. PIA is actively pursuing many technical, safety, and promotional projects that benefit its members and the industry it serves.
The World Free Fall Convention was developed and is organized by Don Kirlin. Don has been an aviation enthusiast since the age of five, when he flew on his father's lap at the controls of their 1946 Ercoupe. His goal was to have the most exhilarating skydive boogie in the world brought to his community, Quincy, IL, and to use this event to educate and encourage other enthusiasts.
