CanuckInUSA 0 #12 June 23, 2005 Currently my DZ is here in Colorado (will they ever finish the swoop pond). But before the year is out the INS will likely be deporting me (while they continue to let illegals flood into the country), then I will likely be headed to Calgary to sell my house. After that I'll either try to find another job in the states or I will venture off to the Pitt Meadows area of BC. I'm depressed that Canada is predominately nothing more than small Cessna DZs hours and hours away from anything (with the exception of Pitt Meadows), but there is a legal 900' cliff just outside of Banff that I'm looking foward to jumping.

Buried 0 #13 June 23, 2005 There are a few by toronto.. all Cessna I think. I think there is a king air at the Niagara dz. Where is my fizzy-lifting drink? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #15 June 23, 2005 If I'm not mistaken there are only two turbine DZs in the entire country. Pitt Meadows and the one in Ontario. But I have absolutely no desire to live in Ontario, so I pretty much ignore everything that goes on there. I'm not sure how I will handle the wet Vancouver winters, but at least they have a turbine in BC.

Remster 30 #16 June 23, 2005 Toronto as a Kind Air DZ: Niagara skydiving; and a summer Otter DZ: Burnaby. Quebec has a 3 Beech 18 DZ: Nouvel air , and a Caravan DZ: Atmosphair BC has a couple non C182 DZs, but I dont know which they are off hand. The rest, yes, is all Cesnas.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean new news news... The only new DZ opening in AB that I know of (in Beiseker, but not the same owners as the blue sky ranch) will only have C182 from what I was told.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #25 June 23, 2005 QuoteThe rest, yes, is all Cesnas.True, but don't forget the occasionally visiting Twin Otter's at Skydive Gananoque. There's one visiting for 3 days on July 1st, 2nd, 3rd for the Canada Day Weekend boogie at Skydive Gananoque. If you wanna jump a Twin Otter in Ontario, this is the place to be 2 hours from Montreal, 3 hours from Toronto, 1.5 hours from Ottawa. I'll be there all weekend, hoping to reach jump number 70.
