MissyOutTheBox 0 #1 March 23, 2006 Ok I know now its cold up there. But are there any DZ's operating around New Jersey/Philidelphia/Minneapolis in the next month and a half?? Will be working in the area and if any are operating and offer static line I would love to maybe do a few static lines while up there to keep myself in the groove till I can get home to my home dz here in Texas to finish out my course.. I guess I first need to know is this something I can do??? Just trying to find out a little info on the protocol and if the ansewer is yes can someone from the area or anyone knowing of a few dz's send me a message or post the locations for me??/ PLEASE!!! I haven't been able to get up in almost a month and a half and I am seriously having withdrawals... Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet.

ccowden 0 #2 March 23, 2006 Pretty much ALL the DZs will be operating in the next month. Most are operating now. Crosskeys would be a great choice in the Piladelphia area.

dqpacker 7 #4 March 23, 2006 SkydiveTwinCities will be opening April 15th or around there. The otter will be arriving the 21st. We don't offer sl but come out anyways. Fun dz and great people, I'm one of them. Minnesota Skydivers in Wasota, MN offers sl. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #5 March 23, 2006 Cross Keys is closest to Philly, but again I don't think offers static line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissyOutTheBox 0 #6 March 23, 2006 Thanks guys... I fly out in about 12 hours so as soon as I can get my schedule figured out I am going to try and head out to at least see the dz.. I am bringing my log book with me... I have been jumping out of our dz's 182 so I am game if I can find a sl dz up there. Or I can just come out and enjoy watching everyone else...lol..

ccowden 0 #7 March 23, 2006 You should look into doing an AFF. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berchtoldaj 0 #8 March 23, 2006 I would agree, If you plan on continuing skydiving and advancing, the most progressive dropzones teach AFP or AFF. The largest difference is AFP begins with 3 tndems. check out USPA.org Give freefall adventures/skydive crosskeys a call and let them know your background and they can fit you into a training program relatively easy. If not, its pretty busy if you just want to come out and watch. www.freefalladventures.com Al************ Watch out for planters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissyOutTheBox 0 #9 March 26, 2006 Thanks. Contacted them and Liz emailed me back so as soon as I get a day off the guys said they would try and run me over there. I might just come to watch or I might decide to take an AFF just depends on the situation and such.. Will have to check with my instructors in Nome, Tx first to see what they say... They know my limits more than I do. Who knows... Have always wanted to be a social butterfly but now I have the wind beneath my feet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 235 #10 March 28, 2006 I think you need to broaden your search a little. You're just being a teensy-bit picky. I do know of a few in the Anchorage, Maui, Washington-D.C. area that will be open."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissyOutTheBox 0 #11 April 6, 2006 That would be nice but have only the company van to get around in and the interstate signs already have me twisted up around here....lol.. I finally got to Philly so I am going to see what I can do..... I am going to call Crosskeys as someone suggested as soon as I can find them...I work night shift so I can go after I take a bath and before I goto bed ....
