WINSTED, MN – Winsted Municipal Airport is where Joe Johnson, a skydiving instructor, would like to start his new business called West Side Skydivers.
He is hoping to move forward with his plans to open his facility at the airport April 2010, once an operation agreement with the City of Winsted can be reached.
Johnson is currently the safety and training advisor for Skydive Twin Cities in Baldwin, WI. He is a member of the US Parachute Association (USPA), holds a USPA Class D license, and has all skydiving instructional ratings.
He has made a total of 6,500 jumps in his career. Read more about Johnson’s skydiving plans in this week’s Herald Journal.
