Sebazz1 2 #10 January 17, 2003 To Humbolt the closest USPA DZ is probably Cloverdale. Otherwise maybe some bandit operation at some random airstrip up there. Your safest bet is to not expect much from those folks up there and make the occasional weekend trips to Lodi, Byron, or Davis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #11 January 17, 2003 >Otherwise maybe some bandit operation at some random airstrip up there. Why is it that just since a DZ is not a USPA DZ they are considered a bandit or unsafe?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #12 January 17, 2003 All I said was bandit.... You know a place that sets up shop whenever they have 3-5 people? Pick a field and go? I did not say unsafe. And well now that you got me thinking about it, any DZ way out in the boondocks up there be it USPA or not probably doesn't have to adhere to FAA safety code as much as say a DZ near the city just because they are way way out in the boondocks. And the training of local people may not be as stringent. Generalization? Yea but a safe bet I think. But still I did not say unsafe. Unsafe for inexperienced people maybe. But so is any new DZ for inexperienced people. I think Lodi is safe enough of a DZ and would jump there more often if it was closer. It's not USPA. I was just remarking on the seclusion of where GIAKREMBS want's to go to school and the area. This is about as serious as you will ever see me get.Friggen hop all over a brother...
