We are going to be in the Finger lakes region the first week of August and we would like to jump there, anyone know what is going on there that week and what's it like jumping there?

thanks

Well, shoot! That is my home dz when I am not travellin!

Small dz with a great vibe and family atmosphere. Very welcoming. Beautiful views! Cessna 182 and Turbo 207. Most of the time they go to 10,000 or 11,000 feet, but go to 13,000 when no tandems on board.

If you are looking to make a few jumps at a really nice dz with great people and kick back and hang out after hours, then this is the place! If you are looking for big planes, lotsa jumps and big facilities, then it's not what you are looking for.

Let me know when you will be there. I will be happy to give you the grand tour!

Is that the one represented by the little airport sign with the arrow pointed towards the cemetery I always passed driving Rochester to Ithaca College? Man, I wish I'd found skydiving years earlier! If so I'll have to come visit next time I'm up north doing relative work

I bet tehre is a gorgeous view up there. I went to Ithaca College for 2 years and the area is pristine with all the waterfalls and gorges....

Yup- it is one of the most scenic dropzones I hae visited. You can see 6 different Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario on clear days. Pretty sweet!

Here are a few pics. They don't do it justice though.

Thanks Chris,
It will be nice to meet you! We stopped by last year and the clouds were tough so we hope to be able to get a jump or two in this year. I don't know what day it will be but it's only about 1-1/2 hours from where we will be. Hope to see you there
