How Far Do You Drive To Get To Your Home DZ?

[PLFKING 4]

The 3 closest DZs are 126, 132, and 133 miles away.

I don't know if this is good or bad.

93.7 miles from my drive-way to parking lot.

if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

20 miles in 15 minutes. Mostly highway. Elsinore another 15 minutes

Don't know the mileage. It's about an hour on the greyhound, and anywhere between an hour to three hours thumbing it. When I bought a rig instead of a car, I didn't realize I'm the only skydiver in this freakin town.

We have 2 close by in my area, but if there is time, I prefer driving over an hour to get to Cleveland Parachute in Parkman, Ohio

30 mins on a bad day.
There are new houses just built on the next Rd. from Airport Rd.
I will be looking at that development on Sunday's Open house before jumping.
You can see the devlopment on take-off as soon as we clear the end of the runway.
farm>Development!
2 minutes by bicycle if wearing rig and carrying gear.

I'm near about 6 different DZs including my DZ (Aggieland) and all of them are about a 2 hours drive away. There are 2 other DZs that are about 2.5-3 hours away.

36 miles to the King Air

100 miles to the Otter

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

A bit closer, 7 km ( 4,5 miles).
And you get better warm up if you run all the way. Of course after it you are thirsty and have a good reason to drink lot of beer after last load.

Our dropzone is 102 miles from our house and it takes an hour and 40 minutes.

It is worth it though! Too bad the weather is SHIT!!

Its about a 5 minute drive when a 20 minute call is on Im notified via telephone and then head to the DZ

[Push 0]

Two close nice DZs, for large values of closeSTI (home) - 1.5 hours car ride at speed limit, takes me around 40 minutes
SWOOP - never been there, but it should be around 40 minutes at speed limit. Supposed to be a nicer place for experienced jumpers. They have a C206, home only has C182s. Oh I wonder what it's like to jump a plane that you can stand up in

10 minute drive for my home DZ/where I work, Skydive Aggieland. It used to be less then 5 minutes, but then I had to move.

It is 61 miles from my house to the nearest DZ - which is the one I habituate. There are two more about 80-85 miles away. All three are C182 DZs.

I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

And what's the good reason to drink beer??? Teemu you are not en alcoholic, what do you mean?

And "every time you got beer you drink" is not good enough reason... And "kuuluisia viimeisiä sanoja" is not the answer...
