Hi from Texas

Hey everyone, brand new to the sport, did my 2 tandems and decided I wanted my Class A at least so 2 weekends ago I did my ground school but with my crap luck not only was the ceiling super low, the wind was too fast also. Waited all week praying for good weather and got it Saturday! Did my first solo and passed to solo #2 22 jumps to go for my Class A!

Welcome to the sport. Are you jumping at Dallas or at Houston?

Instructor quote, “What's weird is that you're older than my dad!”

Houston for the time being but once I have my license Dallas is only about 1.5 hours further and I've traveled further for things that were a lot less fun that a new place to jump

If you are between Houston and Dallas, would that place on I-35 south of Ft. Worth be closer?

I am going to be in the DFW area for Christmas and was looking at places to jump. Unfortunately both places shut down for the holidays.

Christmas day is the only day that Dallas Spaceland is closed.

After posting, I realized I confused it with Dallas Skydive Center. They and Skydive 35 are closed both weekends.

I'm in Waller, about 2 hours from Skydive Spaceland Houston and about 3.5 hours from the DFW area. I'll be in Arlington tomorrow for the Cotton Bowl but won't have time for any jumps :(
