PhreeZone 20 #2 October 4, 2010 Closest indoor tunnel to Atlanta is going to be the XP tunnle in North Carolina at around a 6 hour drive. The Orlando tunnel is a 7.5 hour drive south. Depending on the weather you might be able to get to the outdoor tunnel at AAC in North Carolina that is a 3.5 hour drive but its extremely limited on hours and weather.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axelandr 0 #3 October 4, 2010 ah, that's what I thought.. after a bit of googling however, this link always turned up but it seems like it might be an automated site which puts in whatever town you write in the google searchfield.. http://www.windtunnelskydiving.com/locations/georgia/Georgia-Atlanta/Atlanta-indoor-skydiving.html but I guess that one is a no go then.. alex.

Who knows who will be there, but I'm sure you'll find people to jump with. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should always be able to find someone to jump with at the Farm. Hans (the DZ manager) is really good about setting visitors up with people to jump with, according to interests. Also, everyone at ChutingStar is great too, you'll have a blast!
