woodpecker 0 #1 September 9, 2005 I'm heading to Georgia for 5 months to complete some training and need some information. I'm looking to jump the entire 5 months I'm there so please send me some DZ's and anything else you can think of.

skyberdyber 0 #3 September 9, 2005 You are welcome to jump with us at Skydive Atlanta! We jump Friday afternoon's, Saturday and Sunday. We have a Super King Air that gets to altitude in about 8 minutes. It's got working heat, since you'll be here during winter. We have a 15,000 sq ft hangar, big screen TV, and a really fun atmosphere. It's also 100 miles or more south of the northern Georgia DZ's. You wouldn't think so but it is actually about 5 degrees warmer in Thomaston. That's helps in winter time. www.skydiveatlanta.com http://www.skydiveatlanta.com http://www.musiccityskydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yardhippie 0 #4 September 9, 2005 Where in GA are you going to be? That could be a factor. Also what kind of flying do you like? I call Skydive Atlanta home, fast plane, lots of landing, very friendly, most excellent night life, etc.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fmmobley 0 #6 September 9, 2005 I jump at Skydive Monroe. It is to the East of Atlanta. Very friendly but professional. Nice mix of belly flyers and free flyers. They use a Beech 99. It gets to 13,500 in about 12 minutes. Come join us !... Marion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos340 1 #7 September 9, 2005 Around Atlanta you have alot of Choices on where to jump. I would suggest you visit each of the DZ`s and see which one you like best. SDA In Thomaston (South of Atlanta) is Freefly Central with a fast King Air. Great Vibe there and very friendly Staff and Jumpers. Monroe - Northeast of Atlanta has a mix of Freeflyers and RW Jumpers. Again Friendly Place. The Farm (West of Atlanta) is my personal favorite. Freeflers, RW and Swoopers/Canopy Pilots. Great atmosphere, Beautiful Dropzone (DZ is a Private 55 Acre Farm with two Ponds and perfectly manicured Grass. Very Relaxing Place to spend the entire weekend) Check them all out and make up your mind afterwards. Or do like many of us and just go back and forth between them all. We are very lucky in Atlanta to have so many great places to choose from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamariewillbe 1 #8 September 9, 2005 I havent been to Monroe, but the other two , J's right on. SDA has the best landing area.... almost everywhere you look is a safe out. Plus plenty of comfy couches (shh Clay) if your in the south east of Ga, then there is Skydive St Marys which I believe is about to open back up once Glenn gets here with the plane, and then the Florida DZs arent far either...Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skychick312 0 #9 September 9, 2005 Skydive Atlanta is a great DZ... fast plane, nice people, facilities are nice, etc. Night life is fun. Great place to make lots of jumps! Skydive the Farm is nice as well... Pretty scenary!! Especially if you wanna make a few jumps and just chill.. Check them both out! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be the change you wish to see in the world! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CSpenceFLY 1 #11 September 9, 2005 QuoteHe is going to be in the Brunwick Sea Island area. Sucks to be him.But really that will put him closer to the Fla. DZs.Skydive St. Marys is down there but I think they fly only a Cessna. Don't forget about the Dublin Boogie in March.It's only about an hour and a half north on I-16 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pullhigh 0 #15 September 9, 2005 There are no DZ's in Georgia, so you'll have to cross the border into SC and come to Blue Sky Adventures. It's an easy jaunt up I-95 from where you'll be.

lisamariewillbe 1 #16 September 9, 2005 I hear that SC DZs are all snobs stay in GA or FL, plus if you get pulled over in SC with a GA plate you WILL get a ticket.... and then they take you to jail until you can pay for that ticket, but then once you get to jail they add on additional expences such as room and board.... youd be stuck there for ever without even one jump to speak of....Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveStMarys 0 #17 September 10, 2005 Depending on WHERE in GA, you could stop be Skydive St. Marys, we have a 206. We have some great sport jumpers that hang out there.
