ChrisD 0 #4 May 22, 2013 CPI is right there, as the prior poster points out, and if you can find Doug, they will probably pick U up at hartford if you need a ride! And what I mean by right there is, 19 miles. CBut what do I know, "I only have one tandem jump." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrmedic 0 #5 May 22, 2013 Thanks for the replies. Plan on spending one day at as many as possible. Or if it goes good, may just spend the time at one. See ya soon! QuoteCYA!....up there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DougH 270 #6 May 23, 2013 CPI is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Their otter is here now for the season. Great club, cool people. They may be open more days right now, don't know for sure as I am a bit out of the loop. On Fridays they fly the otter a minimum of 5 loads. Skydive Danielson where I toss drogues on the weekend is open seven days a week if they have enough fun jumpers to put up loads, or if there are tandems booked. It is a Cessna 182 dropzone, also a very cool place. New owners this year, Rob and Laura Morris who used to manage Skydive Midwest. If there is great weather on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday they are going to be your best bet, they will have tandem loads going up, and fun jumpers playing hookey from work. Where in Hartford are you going to be staying? I work downtown, could probably meet up with you for a beer around lunch time, or a bite to eat before I commute home for the day."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites neflier 0 #7 May 23, 2013 mrmedicThanks for the replies.
