laughn_gas 0 #1 September 4, 2007 Hello everyone! I'm looking for a DZ that has a bigger landing area than the average, for winter jumping. My home DZ is Skydive Chicago and would feel more comfortable with a bigger landing area until my canopy skills improve. Also, Is there a site out there that you can get, up to date aerial photos of DZ's? Thanks for your suggestions Sorry for any confusion..... I'm looking to travel throughout the winter, in search of warmer locations, with bigger landing areas than the average DZ.See ya in a minute. Peace out!

PhreeZone 20 #2 September 4, 2007 Skydive Chicago's is one of the larger landing areas in the Midwest since you can land anywhere you want to down to the end of the runway. How much larger are you looking for? I think I get what you are looking for after thinking a bit.. are you looking for a DZ where it is warmer in the winter that has a larger landing area? If so you need to narrow the area down some since there are a lot of DZ's out there. FL has Zhills and Lake Wales with large areas plus a few others. Perris has a large student area in Cali as does Spaceland in Houston.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #3 September 4, 2007 PhreeZone said it. I will add that there is nothing like having to land in a small space to focus your attention and hone your skills. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimbo 0 #4 September 5, 2007 I think that Skydive Dallas has a great landing area. Skydive Spaceland has lots of outs as well. As far as landing out off of the grass area, Skydive Arizona has lots of desert. But I can never stand-up my landings when I land out in the dirt.

Eagle7 0 #6 September 6, 2007 How about Skydive DeLand in Florida? They have a student landing area AND you can contact Scott Miller and take one of his canopy courses while you are there. The course is $155.00. This INCLUDES five jumps where he videotapes your landings and classroom training. You get the Florida sunshine and an improvement in your canopy skills. Good luck and be safe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
