USPA Issues A-100000 to Jeff Huang

Milestone License Issued Almost 70 Years After First Issuance

The parachuting community, under the guidance of the US Parachute Association, has guided skydivers along a skill path using a series of licenses that start with 'A' and then go on to 'B' and so forth.

An 'A' license is a stepping stone to be able to jump pretty much unsupervised at most dropzones throughout the country and elsewhere, and is a pretty solid indicator of achievement for a new parachutist.

In 1952, the nascent PCA (before it became USPA) issued the very first A license to Lew Sanborn of Massachusetts. Almost 70 years and 100,000 licenses later, Jeff Huang of Wainan, China, has earned A-100000. Huang made his first jump in November 2018 and jumps at a drop zone in Inner Mongolia.

With 47 jumps under his belt, Jeff is happy to enjoy fun jumping. He's working toward 100 skydives at the moment, but has his sights set on freeflying and wingsuiting.

His favorite part of the sport is the fun and supportive community, both at his home DZ and worldwide. When he’s not skydiving, Jeff enjoys playing computer games... and we'll bet he's working hard on his 'B' (or 'C') license as we write this... congrats!
