Sletzer 3 #51 May 12, 2009 I'm officially IN. Had to book a hotel one night to make the SO happy, but it's tent livin and jump jump jumpin' the rest of the time. Oh, and there are still a few rooms available, you just have to be willing to pay $120+ for them ... I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows* SCS #8251 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrismgtis 0 #56 May 16, 2009 Quote You know the gang from Chester will be there. If ya want an approx list of names, lemme know. Seems to be a lot of us going. I'll be there. Can you guys give me some information about this boogie? Everyone here calls it Florabama, but I'm assuming it's in Emerald City? I mostly need an address to the actual DZ to put in a GPS so I'll know where the heck I'm going. I'm trying to get in contact with a guy about getting in somewhere to stay, but does anyone have any second options? I'm assuming I can camp on the DZ, but I'm pretty heat intolerant and would rather have the option of being able to sleep. Oh also another question I have is the requirements to jump on the beach. I've got 110 jumps, but no B license. I've passed the B license test, accuracies, had water training several years ago and all I need are the maneuvers (I've just been lazy about getting my B). I don't have a flotation device, but maybe someone will let me borrow there's for a jump. I'm literally making this trip with about $400 to my name. Either I'm hard core or stupid.Rodriguez Brother #1614, Muff Brother #4033 Jumped: Twin Otter, Cessna 182, CASA, Helicopter, Caravan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RastaRicanAir 0 #57 May 16, 2009 Most of your answers are here: http://www.emeraldskydive.com/events.html You'll have to take your license issues up with the wonderful DZOs. Accommodations are the tricky part, but if I read correctly, it looks like Sletzer just freed up one hotel room. There's usually some flotation gear for sale or rent.OrFunV/LocoBoca Rodriguez/Sonic Grieco/Muff Brother #4411 -"and ladies....messin with Robbie is venturing into territory you cant even imagine!-cuz Robbie is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PsychoBob 0 #58 May 18, 2009 Everyone here calls it Florabama, but I'm assuming it's in Emerald City? Emerald Coast Skydiving Center I mostly need an address to the actual DZ to put in a GPS Horak Airport Hwy 95 Elberta, AL. I'm assuming I can camp on the DZ, Camping is free and there are showers. I've got 110 jumps, but no B license. I've passed the B license test, accuracies, had water training several years ago and all I need are the maneuvers (I've just been lazy about getting my B). Call Becky 251-986-5618 and see if they will let you. They have to be strict because of liability issues at The FloraBama. I don't have a flotation device, but maybe someone will let me borrow there's for a jump. Plan on buying it at the DZ. about $45.00. Everyone is usually using theirs. Either I'm hard core or stupid.

RastaRicanAir 0 #63 May 20, 2009 That would be nice. 8 1/2 more hrs of work before I can go home and pack. 25 hours of work + 2 hours of air travel + 3 hrs of airport time + 6.5 hrs of road tripping Divided by / The 58 hours between 10 am Tuesday and 8pm Thursday + Exiting an airplane over the Gulf with only my wits and reflexes to protect me. = What could go wrong?
