davelepka 4 #3 August 18, 2010 West coast would be the closest, Perris is always a safe bet. Lots of planes always flying, on-site wind tunnel, on-DZ bunk house and restaurant. An hour-ish from LA when you don't want to jump, and 20 min from Elsinore when you want someplace else to jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skydive Spaceland in Texas fits your requirements nicely, as does their "A in a week" program. www.skydivespaceland.com---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

People will tend to answer with their personal favorites. I'd suggest you first narrow down what region(s) of the US in which you want to take your holiday, and then educate yourself on the DZs in that/those region(s).
