imthegerm 0 #1 August 6, 2006 Does anyone know of a great dropzone in or around Cookeville, TN? I am moving from San Diego, CA and I am looking for a great DZ in Tennessee. I would sure appreciate any information anyone might have for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lewmonst 0 #3 August 6, 2006 Go to Mullins place in West Tennessee. It's a bit far but worth the drive. The Mullins family is awesome. They will take good care of you. And the airplane... You won't be dissapointed. http://www.skydivekingair.com/ peace lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjosparky 4 #4 August 6, 2006 I think it is done that same as other states.My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #5 August 6, 2006 From Cookeville, Skydive Smokey Mountains is the closest. Turbo Cessna 206 and a 182. Then you have Tullahoma where the famed King Air of Mr. Mullins flys part time and a Cessna 195 on other days. Then Skydive Paris in Paris TN. Cessna 182 and a enclosed packing area. Be carefull you don't fall for the ASC web pages that will claim to be Skydive Pick a city your in and drag you hours from your home.An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaoskitty 0 #6 August 7, 2006 Tullahoma will soon have a full-time Turbine. Until then, its an every other weekend type schedule with Mullins KA. Theres also a DZ in Bardstown, KY. I've never been but I know a lot of Nashville jumpers go there. Wow.. San Diego to Cookeville... prepare for culture shock! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #7 August 7, 2006 Yep no more "and like your know", it is now "hey y'all listen to this I'm fixen' to tell ya story". I'm a Hawaii Kid who transplanted to Cali who then transplanted all over the states the last 20+ years. It wasn't so much a culture shock but I did get to see some of Jeff Foxworthy's stage material in real life.An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

skywade 0 #8 August 7, 2006 I live in Cookeville. There is no skydiving being done around this place. Prepare to do some driving if you want to make a skydive. Let me know when you get moved here. Maybe we can carpool to a DZ sometime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
