LawnDart21 0 #1 July 11, 2002 My company is sending me out on another road trip in a few weeks, and I thought I'd bring my gear with me if I can find any DZs near the three cities I am visiting? -- My other ride is a RESERVE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #3 July 11, 2002 I know that there isn't anything too close to Nashville unless you happen to have any sort of military ID card. If you do you're in luck. There's a DZ on Ft Campbell. The lifts are pricey though. About $5 for as many times as you can get on the helicopter. Other than that you'll have to go to Knoxville or drive about 3 hours to Rome, Ga.

AggieDave 6 #4 July 11, 2002 There's one in El Paso, or next to it. I can't remember what its called, but a quick look in the database here or in parachutist and you'll probably find it.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

BikerBabe 0 #11 July 11, 2002 There's a DZ just outside of El Paso, actually, just over the New Mexico border. When you get there, I'd suggest calling information or looking in the yellow pages, as they don't have a website. It's called Skydive El Paso. It's a smaller DZ with 2 or 3 182's, but they're modified to get to altitude in about 15 minutes. A lot of New Mexicans went there a lot this winter when we didn't have a plane. I've heard nothing but good things about the DZ, so you might give it a shot!Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

airborne31582 0 #13 July 11, 2002 Skydive El Paso, in Santa Teresa NM. My home DZ. It's not a USPA dropzone but it is an awesome one!! Chris I thought of the odds of me succeeding, versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid, and I went ahead anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
