Ron 10 #1 October 12, 2010 I am planning a DZ tour... Ya know when you start at one DZ and go to a new DZ for each jump. Rumor has it that both Lake Wales and Titusville are pretty much not flying fun jumpers..... Anyone care to comment? My original plan was 1. Zhills 2. Skydive Tampa Bay 3. Lake Wales 4. Sebastion 5. Titusville 6. DeLand. Maybe Palatka. But if the rumors are true... then I need to make adjustments."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtiflyer 0 #2 October 12, 2010 its not that they don't, they just don't have an up-jumper base, mostly just tandems at both those dropzones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyU 0 #3 October 13, 2010 They have fun jumping there. I just jumped in Titusville this past weekend. It's always best to call ahead just in case. You have a pretty good shot to get on some loads on the weekends there. Weekdays are a little iffy. That's why it's best to call and see if they have any tandems scheduled, so you can try to get on one of those loads. If you can get to jump there, it is worth it. It's a great view, and either 15k or 18k for altitude with a king air. Lake Wales is the same DZO, so I think it works the same there as well.-- Andy Ussach Team Dirty Sanchez Ex-Vice President #38 Explosivo Rodriguez #1385, Muff Brother #3503, "Woody" Hellfish #646 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #4 October 19, 2010 Mike Mullins at least once, did a DZ tour of Florida, dropping the same load of jumpers out over I believe, 13 DZs, all in one day. I don't know if that was a one-time thing, but damn, that would have been fun to do.

At Skydive Space Center (=Titusville) we jumped from 15.000 and 18.000 ft! Like AndyU said, we called first.

For 400 per jumper it was a deal.
