SkyChimp 0 #1 February 12, 2007 I know we have an airport off 14th street on the island, but haven't heard about any new DZ opening up. Last I heard, Packing Cathy was going to venture that way from St. Mary's but still isn't there. Would anyone jump there if it did open for the scenery??? Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, there was a DZ open there back in the late 70's - that's where I made my first 100 jumps or so. And there wasn't much built up around the airport at that time, just a lot of woods and a golf course. It is a very scenic place, on a barrier island between the ocean and the inland waterway.

There was actually one open there less than 10 years ago. It was open for a few years. The city really doesn't want us there for some reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
