shrewton 0 #1 October 25, 2013 Hello everyone! I recently had to PCS from Biloxi, MS to Shreveport/Bossier, LA. Now my home DZ is 5/6ish hours away, and other larger DZs aren't next door, either. I was wondering if there's anyone in the Shreveport area that would like to try and put together a carpool to go... somewhere! After all, more people in one car = less individual gas costs = more jump tickets!Note: I do have a car, so if you just want to pitch in for gas that'd be great too.

shrewton 0 #4 October 25, 2013 Hahaha I'll probably be back at GC next weekend even though its like $100 in gas round trip. I'm pretty sure that's my per diem from the move. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLIDEANGLE 1 #5 October 25, 2013 Skydive Dallas is significantly closer to you than Spaceland. We have two turbine AC, GREAT load organizers, nice LZ and alternates, "Howdy" hospitality, and good times after dark.The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

Dallas looks to be about 3.5 hours. If your profile jump number is correct, Dallas would be good, as Glideangle stated. https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Skydive+Dallas,+Whitewright,+TX&daddr=Shreveport,+LA&hl=en&ll=32.944149,-95.059204&spn=2.756548,4.894409&sll=32.971768,-95.069212&sspn=2.755685,4.894409&geocode=FVFm_gEd9GRB-iH8SvlFQ1LRuSnlPUnXdohLhjH8SvlFQ1LRuQ%3BFWBL8AEdXXxp-ikf6ZgXjSoxhjHdnKSHFiy9Lg&oq=skydive+dal&mra=ls&t=m&z=8Instructor quote, “What's weird is that you're older than my dad!” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bignugget 0 #7 October 25, 2013 I 'think' there is a dropzone there near Shreveport. Skydive Louisiana. I know a few guys who jump down there. Not sure if that helps, but might be a good spot to start finding carpool buddies. GL! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are a smaller DZ operating a 182 ATM, but have plans on getting a caravan for the winter months. Come check us out. As far as bigger dropzones, Dallas is your closest which is about 3 hours from shreveport. You can also go to spaceland or back to gold coast which are about 5 hours away.
