If used in the same context I always taught, it's the area upwind of the target where the jumper should stay and play until reaching an appropriate altitude to begin a landing pattern.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLIDEANGLE 1 #4 July 3, 2012 It is an area at the DZ where those jumpers who owe a beer fine, but have not yet paid it, are kept until the fine is paid. During Texas summers, this holding area is outdoors in a place without shade or water. This results in the prompt payment of fines. The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

Well, that doesn't make a lot of sense. The holding area should be just outside a liquor store. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
