lurke 0 #1 May 8, 2009 I am looking for info regarding training near Boston. We plan on doing team training in July and are looking for an efficient DZ to train at. That means open 7 days a week and does minimum 12 loads a day. Any input? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueskiesbill 0 #2 May 8, 2009 I have heard good things about pepperell...but have never been I have been to skydive new england in lebanon maine and that place is hands down amazing... swoop ponds....otter....lots of loads....great people...great after jumping activities and a constant flow of people heading to the wind tunnel so you get cheaper rates because of the size of the time slots bought i do not jump in that area unless i am going to the tiki bar boogie or just a fun weekend in lebanon but what i can say is i do not have a bad thing to say about skydive new england ... oh yea and some of the best DZ food too!!! the condemned convict climbs the highest peaks without fear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyjumpsteve 0 #3 May 9, 2009 You are not going to get 12 jumps a day during the week anywhere in New England. Pepperell is open 7 days a week but you wont do anywhere near 12 jumps a day Mon thru Fri. You can hit up the tunnel in Nashua which is 5 or 10 mins from Pepperell and get some tunnel time during the week. Pepperell is very easy to get to from Boston (45 mins) and is a nice DZ.

vpjr 18 #4 May 10, 2009 I am at Pepperell and we a have good climbing Cessna 206s that go to 13K. If your team is 4 or more you wont have to wait. If your team is big enough I would be more than happy to fly my Otter. Planes and Pilots ready and waiting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1888 0 #5 May 14, 2009 Try Skydive New England in Lebanon Maine. It's about 75 miles from Boston & it's great. They have a Super Otter & on weekends will turn 25 loads a day. They are also open all week. As to 12 loads a day, it would depend on how many students are there. They have a bunkhouse & lots of good vibes. Try contacting Mike (one of the owners) at 207-289-0378. He's a good guy & will work with you if he can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKKid35 1 #6 June 30, 2009 The only traffic at Pepperell is skydiving which is great. The big drawback is there's no bunkhouse and the local accommodation is the usual motel chains with $60 night rooms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrnlnrush07 0 #7 June 30, 2009 Been to pepperell a few times and I love it up there... beautiful DZ and great people. They are a great operation and will work with you! Never been to Skydive New England but have heard good things about them too. Still Pepperell is a lot closer to Boston.*~Alli~* When people ask "Why jump out of perfectly good airplane?" I reply "The door was open and someone said GO!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
