DJatLarge 0 #1 March 16, 2004 Any jumpers from that area here???? I have a (phone) job interview tomorrow, and just curious about the area, current jumping conditions, local DZs, etc. Any help would be great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyskydiver 0 #2 March 16, 2004 Go to SkyKnights. Plummet, Dumpster, and a few others (sorry...tired and can't think straight right now) are at Sky Knights. If you get there, please let them know I said Hi. They're great people - really friendly. You'll like them.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasingBlueSky 0 #3 March 16, 2004 Milwaukee is a nice suburb of Chicago Edit to add: Make sure you get a burger and some custard at Kopps! By far the best kept secret that city has. Oh yea, I think SK has been jumping the Cesna all winter. Give them a call. Skydive Chicago, about 2 hour drive from there (if not a bit more), will have the Super Otter back this weekend._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Dumpster 0 #4 March 16, 2004 Not from the Milwaukee area myself but most of the folks I jump with are - Check out Sky Knights in East Troy. We jump all year. Matter of fact, we haven't had a jumpless weekend since November and even that was a fluke. Very cool club DZ with good stuff going on all year. We have a turbocharged (280 hp) C-182 that climbs like a scared ape and will have a Caravan here in April August will bring a Casa for our annual Heartland Boogie. Indoor packing, a cool clubhouse, covered creeping area, friendly locals - Ya can't go wrong. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do let me know when you make it back. So very few dz.commers there, and more are quite welcome! p.s. Hi Patman, if you're still lurking out there.... p.p.s. I haven't been back since my reserve ride in December. I'll be good to air out, it's just been to damn cold for my wimpy self. p. something. If you are the one I remember, my daughter still wants an iguana....It's your life, live it!
