Since 1974
Founded in 1974, it was founded by a group of parachutists who carried out their activity mainly in Turin where there was one of the first parachuting centres, not yet called schools at that time but managed by the Aero Club of Italy, one of its founders Ettore Testa still with us and at the age of 84 he remained in the sport until last year. Our school director Guido Fasulo started with him in 1967 Year of his first launch.
In the following years the Vercelli Center distinguished itself in the preparation of hundreds of students, it based its activity on competitiveness, winning several Italian Championships and foreign competitions in landing precision and subsequently with the advent of 4-person work our team composed of Fontana, Ugolini, Ruspi, Azzola won about ten Italian championships and in 1987 they placed 4th in the world championship in Brazil and subsequently repeated 5th place in the 1989 world championship. We have had other results in other specialties in subsequent years.
After, with the advent of the new regulations on skydiving, it was decided to put competitive activity in the background, giving priority to school activity, with the training of new instructors who now also work in other schools.
Always attentive to safety, an accident has never occurred and following the wishes of our school director, we have always paid more attention to quality than quantity. The latter held the position of President of A.I.P. for many years. (Association of Parachuting Instructors) and thanks also to a highly competent Council, it was the protagonist of many changes, one of which was the recognition of the association by ENAC.

No bird flies as soon as it is born, but the moment comes when the call of the air is stronger than the fear of falling and then life teaches it to spread its wings.
