Friends of DVPA - The Friends of DVPA project is up and running on our web site. This is a great opportunity for members that are business owners or service providers to market to your fellow aviators your aviation and non-aviation services and products. A nominal fee of $20 will get you exposure to DVT pilots/tenants for a year. We will have the materials available at the Hospitality Hangar to get your company or service on the web site. You can also post your ad by following the instructions on the web site, Friends of DVPA section. We hope this adds value to your DVPA membership and supports your fellow airport tenants and pilots.
