1992

Kaunas Parachuting Club

Until the restoration of Lithuanian independence, the parachutists did not feel fully-fledged members at the J. Žiburkaus Aviation Sports Club, so when the opportunity presented itself, athletes founded a separate Kaunas Parachuting Club in 1992 May 8. The Kaunas Parachuting Club settled in premises formerly owned by the Russian Army soldiers, and Vytautas Stankevičius became the head of the club.

1996

Creating Club Infrastructure

The start was difficult, since airplanes and other inventory were left for gliders, and parachutists had to look for a flying machine from which they could safely reach the ground. In 1996 May 12 Kęstutis Milišauskas is elected head of the club. It took a lot of time and effort to make the club infrastructure suitable and more attractive not only to the citizens of Kaunas, but also to citizens of neighboring countries.

1999
