Around here, we have several airports where the jump area is right over the
airport. The jumpers land in the grass next to the runway.

I understand that, that happens all over the place. But have the FAA
come over to your jump club for a Wings type safety presentation and
have the nice FSDO person give you all the FAA reccomendations for jump
operations. They will always reccomend that the landing zone be a few
miles away from the airport, well outside the normal traffic patterns.
