Skydiving experts in aeronautics club, wich has more than 46 years of work, did not find easy to maintain to staff, licences, parashoets and rest of equipment during the years of war.

Thanks to uniti in aeeronautics club, equipment was maintained but with lack of financial means wich disables the staff to achieve the succes on contests. In 1994 they have managed to get some financial aid and they joined Open Parachuting Chapionship of Bulgaria and they managed to achieve very good results and by those means they were the first sportsmen that broke the international sanctions against RS, sharing that sport does not recognise any political boundaries.

After the Dayton agreement was signed, the members were organised and they started working in accordance to their limited financial means so that they now practice jumping from 1200-2000m and RW jumps are rare, but they are still interested for them.

Parshutes in use are school parachute ( cups ) PS-02, PS-03, sport parachute (wings) KLUZ-1, KLUZ-1A and KLUZ-3. Aeronautics club uses aeroplanes UTVA-66 and CESSNA-172 ( Rocket ) and in cooperation with RS army they use choppers MI-8. This year the club should get new generation of students.

In 1996 in very hard conditions the club managed, with help from sponsors, to organise the 1st Open parachuting Championship of Republic Srpska with 7 teams and 34 single jumpers.Cup was organised very good in sport spirit of skydiving so that they decided to turn it in onnual contest. In 1997 there was 2nd Open Championships with 50 sportsmen and 10 teams witch included the Russian (SFOR) military team who won with only 72 negative points. In 1998 there was 3rd Open Championship of Republic Srpska and 1st team of aeronautics club was 2nd place and best single skydivers was Mladen Palada and he won 6th place.
