mailin 0 #3 August 30, 2005 Hey Amanda, You can't go wrong with Jumptown - in Orange, MA. There are tons of instructors and lots of good people to jump with. Check out their website at: www.jumptown.com Diane is the manager and she usually answers the phones during the week - she's super helpful and can give you lots of info. Good luck! Look me up if you're out there! JenArianna Frances Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
divegoddess 0 #4 August 30, 2005 I have heard about their freak fly school and was seriously considering flying lessons... but one thing at a time. first my license. I'm in Portsmouth so I'm not sure how far away that is. I will check into it. I have heard mixed things about skydive newengland. That is 15-20 minutes from me. It would be nice to go there after work on a friday. But I would like to have another option. When I called skydive ne up they seemed prety bothered by my questions. Thanks for the suggestion.

jman 0 #5 August 31, 2005 When I called skydive ne up they seemed prety bothered by my questions. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure why dz offices seemed bothered by phone calls, but several I have dealt with seem that way. However, I did my aff at Skydive New England, and they were excellent. The instructor that I did the most work with was Barry, but all the instructors were great. The dz can be a little breezy midday at times so you may lean toward morning or late afternoon jumps. Have Fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff.Donohue 0 #6 September 1, 2005 Hi there. Another DZ you may want to consider, along with Orange, is Pepperell (website is www.skyjump.com). I'm in the middle of AFF there, and it's been a great experience. Good luck and blue skies... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaggio 0 #7 September 1, 2005 You may also want to visit Olie and skydive vermont. They are a small drop zone with 1-182 and a 206. You will get a personal experience with a great reputation of teaching students. They also have a HUGE area to land in. Good luck. Shaggo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
divegoddess 0 #8 September 2, 2005 A HUGE landing area is definitely a plus. Though I would like to think that 20 years of ballet would make my landings graceful, I know it will take some practice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biuliano 0 #9 September 3, 2005 I learned to skydive in VT. We jump there every Monday. Most of the time I jump out of Orange on weekends.
