TheMonkey 0 #1 May 12, 2004 what is the closest dz to OBX? and how far is it? grassyass in advance for any replies, monkey --------------------- Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luna 0 #2 May 13, 2004 Closest is going to be Skydive Suffolk in Suffolk, VA at about 2 hours away. Next closest (and I'm biased toward, of course), is Skydive the Point in West Point, VA at around 3 hours. We have one guy who comes up semi-regularly from the Outer Banks. After those, I think the next closest is going to be over 4 hours away. Let me know if you decide to give STP a try! I'm walking a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

TheMonkey 0 #3 May 13, 2004 appreciate the info, but was hoping for something closer....i jump in louisa and stop into west point every now and again...i am going to be in the outer banks for a long weekend and was hoping to make a few jumps while out there, perhaps i will make a stop on my way home to dc.... again, grassyass for the info! monkey --------------------- Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!

Luna 0 #4 May 13, 2004 Maybe someone else has more info, but all I can say is that I've heard of jumping going on down there before (obviously the Kitty Hawk demo for the 100 years of flight, and I've heard of a few others), but I don't know where. There is no USPA DZ down there, and that's all that I know for sure. Sorry! It would be an awesome place to jump, that's for sure! Have fun!
