Lujako 0 #1 July 15, 2013 I am trying to find a place that has a plane bigger than a Cessna "near" St. Louis. We want to take my wife's 86 year old grandmother. Many thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That website is for one of "those" operations. No large aircraft based in the St. Louis area. pms07's advice is good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AviationTD 0 #7 July 18, 2013 Thanks for bringing this up. I am planning to go to St. Louis for a long weekend. I do have a free day for skydiving. So, I searched around and was surprised to see that there is no "big" operation in St. Louis. I guess I will have to try cessna for the first time. Which dropzone is the nearest one to St. Louis?
