Im looking to get certified and had a few questions. Prolly the same ones as every other new guy. How much, how many jumps to gertification, where to go,where not to go. I live overseas most of the time, does every country honor our licenses? any info would be appreciated, feel free to email me.

There are lots of dropzones in Indiana. Look here: http://www.dropzone.com/dropzone/North_America/United_States/Indiana/index.html To earn your A licence which is the first licence you need at least 25 jumps. All the dropzones can help you get there. Cost is dependent on the DZ you choose to go to, none of them are bad places at all.

You might also look at dropzones in the nearby states if you are near the border at all too. It might be closer to drive to Ill, MI, KY or Ohio if you are near the borders.

Like Phreezone said, it depends on where in Indiana you live. My home DZ is 4.5 miles from Rantoul, IL, so if you live near Crawfordsville it's within our 90 minute drive-time zone

I used to live in Indiana, but jumped in Illinois. The DZO's over there give better head.

Who would admit to being from Indiana?

Like Phree said it's hard to go wrong. Send me an e-mail with where you will be living and I can send you some info.

I jump at Skydive Fort Wayne during the week and special weekend events, Indiana Skydiving Academy on weekends, and Skydive Wayne County on Labor day. The cost depends on how you want to get certified. Fort Wayne only has IAD and Tandem but are cheap and have the best view. ISA does it all, S/L,Tandem,AFF, I heard Richmond has the porter running again. They're all nice.

Hey! I'm from Indiana! I haven't lived there since 1991, and haven't visited since 1996, but I'm very relieved to be able to say I'm from Indiana.

Only 2.5 people, so far.

I'm originally from Indiana and go back once a year around my Birthday for a Notre Dame Football game.

Jumped at Frankfort once long time ago just before Christmas.

Not from Indiana, but lived there for a few years. Skydive Greensburg is located about 45 minutes from Indianapolis, an hour and a half from Bloomington (I.U.), 45 minutes from Cincinnati. They fly turbines most days of the week and are open from somewhere around March/April-ish till November. Hope this helps

All right - I'm not originally FROM Indiana but have lived in Indianapolis for many years - by the way, I love it here. Best DZ around is Skydive Greensburg - to give you an idea of just how good of a DZ, it is one of Jay Stokes home DZ's. If Jay chooses it, I'm pretty sure you'd like it too.
