steve1 5 #1 October 31, 2002 Does anyone know of any drop zones near Earie Penn? (I'll bet Earie is mispelled.) I may go there in December for some training for my job. They were going to pick San Diego but chose Earie instead. What a bummer! I had visions of jumping at Perris again. At any rate I'm just wondering if it is possible to get in some jumps near Earie in Dec. I've heard it's a cold place, so it may be a no go for jumping. Thanks, Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayboz 0 #2 October 31, 2002 I guess you mean Erie PA? http://www.erieskydivers.com/ They have a 182, and I think they jump during the winter months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zinger 0 #3 October 31, 2002 If you mean Erie Pa then yes there is Erie Skydivers, That time of year it's hit or miss on weather, Might have a 50 degree sunny day, Might have more then a foot of snow,Snow covered landing areas are cool with footprints just starting outta nowhere in the field and walking into the heated building but hey thats your choice. About 45 minute drive South of Erie right of I79 is Skydive Pennsylvania (Grove City)and it's a bigger D.Z with a City maintained hard runway so they jump more often, Also fly 2 or 3 182's in the winter (Turbine all summer) and multi-cessna formation winter loads are always cool..Pun intended...If you do hit this area, Drop me a line... You might want to look into renting snowmobils, Erie is in the lake affect snow belt area, They get LOTS of snow there, 20 miles away there might be none. ------Have a good one!-------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
