CSpenceFLY 1 #3 March 1, 2009 Looks like it's time for the entire skydiving industry in Deland to collectively pull up roots and find a new home. The writing is on the wall with the decision to build that tower. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSpenceFLY 1 #5 March 1, 2009 More often then not that is what DZOs have to do when a town decides they are ready to get rid of the skydivers. Imagine the DZ that could be built on private property if every skydiving business in Deland went together to buy property in one place. It could be awesome. But then again we are talking about getting more then one skydiver to agree on something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Plenty of industries relocate plants away from venues that are burdensome, to venues that are more friendly. Ours should be no exception. This is not unlike the perennial angst with Eloy.

Exactly. Choices have consequences - even when they're made by local government. Sometimes it's up to us as individuals to do what's best for ourselves in the face of others' decisions...and create those consequences as a by-product.Signatures are the new black.
