NinerThreeKilo 2 #1 July 8, 2011 Hey guys, first time poster, I recently moved to Bainbridge, Georgia for a flying job and find there isnt a HUGE about to do around here. I'm a commercial pilot looking for any DZs that might want a free couple day a week pilot in exchange for some skydiving instruction... Any leads? Thanks, 93K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #2 July 8, 2011 Yep, you are in the arm pit of south Ga. There is a small DZ west of you somewhere. Someone else will need to chime in with the name and more info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bertt 0 #3 July 8, 2011 You might be thinking about Skydive Headland at Headland airport (oj6). Do they still operate? Dunno, the OP could call the airport. There's also School of Human Flight in Tallahassee (really Quincy, Fl), Emerald Coast Skydiving in Elberta, Al, and Skydive Atlanta in Thomaston, Ga.You don't have to outrun the bear.

airtwardo 7 #4 July 8, 2011 Just curious, what kind of hours & ratings? ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBCOOPER 5 #5 July 8, 2011 Need to fly about 35 loads in a Cessna to cover a first jump course.... just saying...Replying to: Re: Stall On Jump Run Emergency Procedure? by billvon If the plane is unrecoverable then exiting is a very very good idea.

CSpenceFLY 1 #6 July 8, 2011 The one I'm thinking of is operating on private property. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NinerThreeKilo 2 #7 July 8, 2011 How long is a first jump course? I know about skydive TAL, however I can never get anyone on the phone, so I'm not sure if anything has changed with them. As for ratings, Commercial land & sea, instrument and instructor, probably be looking for more of single engine job, seems like most of the twin otter guys operators are looking for ATPs. If anyone has contact info for any of the other DZs please let me know (or PM me if you prefer). Thanks, 93K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, 93K Hi 93k I'm old so take my suggestion for whats its worth. If you look at the top of the page underneath the Dropzone.com thing, you'll see a horizontal black bar click on Dropzones or classifieds in the order of your choosing. I think you'll find what your looking for.there. Saw a guy walk into a DZ at the exact right time, Hired on the spot. They needed a pilot.If you do start flying plese have your shit together The industry has broken out the AC fatilities from jumping fatilities alot of jumpers have died over the years because some pilots made poor choices. IMO Check the DZ out beore you commit. just because they want you be damn sure you want them and their airplane and their attitudeR.I.P.One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NinerThreeKilo 2 #9 July 12, 2011 Thanks, I'll check the calssifeds out. I'm not looking for a flying job though, I moved out here from CA for a contract tailwheel job, so this is just something I would be looking to do two days a week or something like that, also my shit is 100% together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
