Greetings to y'all ~

My name is Billy and I just discovered the Drop Zone web-site recently. My wife and I live in Belize, Central America. I have not jumped since 1995 and have long missed the wonderful times and some of the people in skydiving. We used to live in Virginia Beach and I frequented the DZ in Suffolk, Virginia.

We hope to soon move back to northern Michigan and I hope one day to be able to jump again and meet some of you people.

Take care now!

Dear Skymama & Peej,

Howdy there... I just noticed both of your 'User Profile's and had a comment to share.

Skymama, I have fond memories of your DZ, there in Deland, Florida. Prior to joining the U.S. Navy in 1978, I was raised in South Florida, in Palm Beach County. Later on, after learning how to jump my wife and I took a motorcycle trip from VA Bch. to Naples, and on the way we stopped so that I could get a few jumps there. Also, one night in (approx.?) 1989, while doing some test jumps from 'fast movers', me and my Team-mates jumped (at night) over Deland from a 707 (side door exit - with equipment, very fierce! ha). I recall after landing safely that some European gent approached me (comfortably numb at that!), and diligently inquired about our jump platform. It was a lot of fun. I'd love to come back and visit y'all's DZ again!

Peej - hello there. I've heard there is some world class surfing in your area. The closest I've come to your location was the Azores and a brief visit to North Africa, Tunisia. Stay safe over there, man!

Take care!
