jceman 1 #4 December 7, 2003 Nearest DZ is SoBe? What the heck are you drinking? Deland is 18 miles down the road from Embry-Riddle, and Titusville, Sebastian and Lake Wales are all closer to Daytona than SoBe and certainly faster drives. Deland is also the home dropzone for the E-R skydiving club. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

skymama 37 #6 December 7, 2003 I think there's a skydiving club at Embry-Riddle. They had a boogie at Deland about a month ago. They were nice, they fed all of us! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prepheckt 0 #7 December 7, 2003 As I'm sure you've all read, I"m moving to Tyndall AFB, what's the closest dz to there, I went on mapquest and as far as I've seen, it's 6-7 hours to Deland, Sebastian, Z-hills, any help?"Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregaae3 0 #8 December 7, 2003 Deland is the closest. I jump there. Its 15 mins from campus. And skymama is right, we have a club. I haven't joined yet, but plan on it next semester. They have their own gear and offer unlimited rental for about $60 a semester. If you don't have your own. Theres also Titusville 45 mins to the south, and Palatka 45 minutes to the north. Lake Wales, Zhills, and Sebastian are about 1.5 hours away. Do youself a favor though, get laid before you transfer. Because there ain't a chance in hell you will here.

Dougjumper 0 #10 December 8, 2003 Flager Beach..I dont think its too Far away as well as Deland. Im not sure if Flager Beach is still up and Running though. Im sure some of the Locals from Deland would know....Have Fun Enjoy Sunny Florida.. The glass is half full or half empty doesn't matter. Let go and have the Lord guide your path.

gregaae3 0 #11 December 8, 2003 QuoteWhy is that? Because the school is a whopping 18% female. The town isn't much better either. Unless you want 15 year-olds with std's and babies. No, flagler isn't open anymore: http://www.dropzone.com/news/SkydiveDaytonaBeachtoClo.shtml Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skipro101 0 #12 December 8, 2003 I will know in about a month whether or not its in my future. The skydiving will be much better than winter in ohio though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stl135 0 #13 December 8, 2003 GOING WEST: Deland is just down the road. GOING SOUTH: You will have Titusville about 45 min and then Sebastian about 1h15m. Both have awesome ocean views and great people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmoore21184 0 #15 December 8, 2003 15 minutes to deland, yet another sign i should have gone to embry-riddle instead of here! j/k dont have to pay to go to school here B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoudDan 0 #16 December 8, 2003 Me again, if I was you, I would look more towards Loussianna, Mississippi, or Alabama, they are all going to be a hike (3-4 hours). To be honest dude, you may need to substitute in SCUBA (don't hate me) diving for a bit if you're going to be in school and can't swing the ride. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Stacy 0 #17 December 8, 2003 unfortunately pre, not too much out on the panhandle. Most and I think all turbine DZs are in pretty much the central and south regions. Looking west may be your best bet from that base... __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullshit! Is this another ASC? No matter which state you're in, they're the closest and best? Skydive Deland is 20 minutes from Daytona. Skydive SoBe is 3.5 to 4 hours away.

Stacy 0 #19 December 8, 2003 i would love to know how to get from pahokee to deland in an hour. i drive like a bat out of hell and it takes me 3.5 hours from west palm. SoBe is a good place to visit though one weekend when you want to travel a bit. definitely not closest though... __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bendywendy 0 #20 December 8, 2003 In actuality the nearest DZ is DeLand. SoBe is about as close to daytona as it is to SouthBeach. The next nearest would be Titusville but of course, if you want the prettiest views you'll have to come visit us in Sebastian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The closest to Tyndall is in Tallahassee. it should take you about an hour and a half. Go to www.skydivetallahassee.com and get directions. JT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jseiverth 0 #22 December 8, 2003 If I'm right that Tyndal is in Panama City, then the closest turbine DZ is School of Human Flight, in Tallahasee. www.skydivetallahassee.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
