samyueru 0 #1 March 13, 2005 Is skydive headland still in operation? (Alabama DZ) The website and phone number aren't operational... Was hopeful to find a DZ nearby to Dothan... -thanks! -S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psychoswooper 2 #2 March 14, 2005 Mike & Chris decided to pack it in a few months back, so now, most of the Dothan area & Ft Rucker people are jumping over here in Tallahassee. It's about a 2 hr drive ..We fly a very nice King Air every Saturday & Sunday. A lot of the Alabama peeps come over & stay (camp out) on Saturday night.... www.skydivetallahassee.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of the Alabama peeps come over & stay (camp out) on Saturday night.... www.skydivetallahassee.com I only had the opportunity to jump at Headland's grand opening boogie with a King Air. It was a lot of fun, and I stayed in Mike's house over the weekend. Great people. I don't think Mike and Chris had the same gusto to keep the DZ going after what happened to Sandy Godwin, but they weren't breaking even either. It's tough to run a DZ far away from any major city when there's another one closer. Before they opened Headland, they were jumping at Skydive Opelika in Tuskegee and that's how I met them. Is Buddy Blue still driving that POS van he calls his mobile DZ?

He's not driving the van anymore though. I never knew Sandy. He was before my time jumping at Buddy's. I've heard a few stories though. I put his old rig back in the air this past weekend.
