tetra316 0 #1 November 2, 2004 I'm going to be down in Odessa for a couple weeks in early December working and was wondering if there are any dropzones nearby or withing a few hours? I'd love to get some jumping in on my day off! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #2 November 2, 2004 I jumped at Westex Skysports a long time ago. It was a fun little dropzone. It's probably about 40 miles from Odessa. Be sure to jump in cowboy boots so you don't get stickers on your ankles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #3 November 8, 2004 go to westexskysports.com for all the info! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites masterrig 1 #4 November 8, 2004 It sure used to be that way at WesTex but, they keep the stickers mowed down before they get a chance to 'grow'! When I first started jumpingthere, we made a jump and spent the next hour pickin' stickers out of us and our canopies. It's still a fun place! Come see us!

If, you ever get the chance, come see us. For a 1 - Cessna DZ, it's a lot of fun!

Those guys and gals are lots of fun for sure. I am sure you would have a good time there. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.
