GaryRay 0 #1 February 6, 2009 so im flying x-country next week and will possibly have time to do a jump in some different locations, i was wondering what the closest Dz's are to these cities: 1) Austin, Tx 2) Houston, Tx 3) Savannah, Ga? 4) Albuquerque, Nm? i know i could just do it the hard way and use the DZ.com's tools, but i figure if people live there and tell me what DZ they jump at it wont be a problem, thanks guys.JewBag. www.jewbag.wordpress.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

druvaughn 0 #3 February 6, 2009 I can only offer help with Savannah... 2 choices: Skydive Walterboro - 1hr away - 182 (9,500 ceiling), great group of people!!!, big landing arrea and lots of outs (all empty fields), views aren't great... Skydive St Mary's - 1.45hr away - 182, haven't been there yet, Walterboro gets it done for me, but its always an option. Safe trip, enjoy. Best, Dru- - "Baseball is 90% mental.

CSpenceFLY 1 #4 February 6, 2009 If your route takes you through middle Ga. Skydive Atlanta is in Thomaston,Ga, about 30 mi west of Macon. They are usually only open on the weekends, sometimes on Friday. What are you flying? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voilsb 1 #9 February 7, 2009 Quote flying through with a new itinerary :/...los cruces, NM, austin Tx, mobile, and Savannah, i am going to be in a CH-46E. Las Cruces is a bust, as far as I can tell. I tried to plan something when I drove through there a few weeks ago, and got nothing. As for Austin, try Skydive San Marcos or Skydive Aggieland. Maybe Skydive Temple, too. Oh, wherever you go, you have to let people jump from your helicopter. Especially me. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voilsb 1 #11 February 7, 2009 Quote Fixed it for you That's why I said "maybe." Because I was guessing, based on USPA.org's distance measurements. This brings up an interesting question, though ... how far from your target cities are you willing to travel for a DZ?Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
