RevJim 0 #2 November 6, 2003 Wow, which one? The one I trained at, 35 miles. The one I finished training at, 600 miles. The one I jump at local now, 45 miles. The one I still have 3 jumps on the books at, 255 miles. Longest distance from home to a logged jump in my logbook, 1340 miles. Longest distance from home to a dz and not been able to jump, 2072 miles. Plenty more where those came from. It's your life, live it!

tinfoil 0 #15 November 6, 2003 About 70K, takes about an hour. Not too bad though, it a nice drive, peaceful, no traffic. The way back is death though, through the country its a wonder how I haven't dozed off and put my car through a field, a combine, or someone's chicken coop. Not to mention all the drunkin country drivers you meet swerving all over the road. And forgetting abouy their hight brams. Its ok, I don't need to see where I'm going. “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

britboynz 0 #20 November 6, 2003 DZ where I'm learning is 277kms (172 miles) from home. takes me about 3hrs to get down there. crazily enough there are 2 DZs in Auckland where I live, both run AFF courses & are 30 mins away. Yet I still drive down to Taupo every weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taz 0 #25 November 6, 2003 The DZ where I learned to skydive is 10540 miles (16963 km or 9160 nautical miles) from my current home DZ as the crow flies... but from where I now live to where I now skydive, it only takes an hour by car. I had to move all the way to Africa for that kind of convenience!It's the Year of the Dragon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
