The club makes about 5000 jumps a year out of their own Cessna-206 and Comp Air 8 plane, which is operated by Suomen Urheiluilmailijat Ry. At Skydive Häme they train approximately hundred of new- jumpers every year. They operate from Vesivehmaa Airfield near Lahti, where they have also their clubhouse and dropzone. Skydiving at Vesivehmaa continues all year round (yes, even during the winter), but of course they are mostly active during the summer months, from April through October. Being a non-commercial club, the action is heavily concentrated on the weekends. The Club is well known for the success of the CF-hyppäämisessä (Canopy Formations). They provide all kinds of courses and jumps including tandems.
Vesivehmaa Airfield is situated next to Lahti, about 120km north from Helsinki.
