flashvortx 0 #2 May 31, 2011 There's an absurd amount of the best coaches and instructors at Lodi all the time, especially in the summer. It will be easy to get set up with someone when you get there. Camping is sort of allowed on the DZ, couldn't hurt to call ahead of time though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LongWayToFall 0 #3 June 1, 2011 Call Bill and tell him you plan on being there for 2 weeks, and cranking out a bunch of jumps. If there is room in the bunk house, he will probably let you have it for free. If not, the smaller, secondary hanger where the packers hang out is a good spot to crash. Couches, or you could set up a tent inside. I'm sure it won't be a problem to stay on the DZ one way or another. Showers in the bathroom, and microwave in the bunk house lets you stay there easily too. Have fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 333 #10 June 8, 2011 Quote well actually looking for a coach to crash on, If you mean a piece of furniture to sleep on, it is "couch" or "sofa" not "coach." If you mean a vehicle to sleep in, maybe "coach" (rare) (and people don't want their vehicle crashed). If you mean someone to teach you, yes "coach." (and you should avoid crashing on your coach).

xav 0 #20 June 10, 2011 Do you know guys how much is the pack job there ? Worth having 2 riggs ? Tks :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteS 0 #21 June 10, 2011 Pack jobs are $5.00, tipping is a good thing. It's def worth it to have 2 rigs if you are motivated to make a lot of jumps. In August the planes are flying pretty regularly every day. On the the weekends, usually there are two Twin Otters flying and a 3rd plane if needed.

xav 0 #22 June 12, 2011 Tks PeteS i might do that then pretty regulary... do you thin 8 jumps a day or so is not too much asking during week days ? ( i guess not :) ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteS 0 #23 June 12, 2011 I would say that most days you can get 8 jumps easy. You just never know how many tandems are going to walk in the door.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
