2sBROWNBEAR 0 #1 October 5, 2011 Hi all, I'm new to the sport, and I'm looking for a dropzone to do AFF and hopefully get an A license. I currently live in Shreveport, LA, and I am leaning towards skydive dallas, but I am also considering dropzones in Baton Rouge, Gilliam, and Vivian Louisiana. Anyone have any experience with these places or advice you would care to pass my way? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is also close to Shreveport. I can't give any opinion on Gillam, because I haven't jumped there yet. If you're dead set on AFF you might consider Skydive Dallas. It is a very nice, large dz with great facilities and two turbine aircraft, but is a long drive from Shreveport. Good luck selecting a dz for your training.Blue Skies, Adam I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things . . . — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
