mgaillar 0 #1 January 31, 2002 Okay, sorry to all you "none Deland" folks, but.....as I am preparing for a trip down there, I suspect this place will have good feedback from the regulars and those of you that have jumped there.I am looking at over-head shots of the DZ. It doesn't look like many outs. Are the images deceiving? Also, I see a lot of H2O....any water within the one mile radius? I assume one is not required to wear floatation devices there, right?Thanks again!Matthttp://www.skydiveorange.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 January 31, 2002 Matt,I'll help you with this one too. I have done almost 100 jumps in Deland, and I have never, ever landed out. First, we have some damn good pilots there. Second, there are plenty of grassy places for you to land. If you don't land in the three fields in front of the building, there's a whole student area out behind the buildings to the left (help me out with my directions, Dave).Now, don't go thinking, "yeah, but Skymama is a kick ass canopy pilot, that's why she never lands out". That is far from the truth, and everyone who knows my canopy skills, or lack thereof, is probably laughing pretty hard right now.Trust me, you'll be fine.AndreaThe brave may not live forever, but the timid may not live at all.

mgaillar 0 #8 January 31, 2002 Thanks for the assurance! Should be in the area between 2/24 - 3/4. Looking forward to checking out your "canopy skills" too...especially your "S-turns".Bringing a couple of other dz.commers...should be a good time, as we are all looking forward to the Skyvan's rear exit and beer light activities!Peace!Matthttp://www.skydiveorange.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFKING 4 #9 January 31, 2002 Actually, Andrea has TERRIFIC canopy skills. Why, last time I jumped with her, she tried to flare right into the doorway of a taxi-ing plane.....she would have made it, too, except he stopped, and she overshot him.
