Yep on the hills.. as for STB, I have not been there but known the owner for a long time, near as I can tell it's an alright place, not a USPA GM, last time I looked. That's all I can tell you.

I was there a few weeks ago. We hired out their Cessna for a demo. They were not jumping that day due to low clouds. I think they usually have a Pac. A lot of the folks that jump there come over to Z-Hills once in a while and they are all good peeps. Missbrz and Theonlyski can probably give you more info.

Thanks all... any more comments would be appreciated. I love Z hills but this is a family vacation so a closer dz would be nice. We are going to be in St. Pete but who knows.... maybe I can hit up both.
Cliff Dobson is the owner, nice guy, just another crazy old corn husker fuck who's been dodging the planet for most my lifetime, give him a ring and go visit, might learn sump-tin.

If you're going to be in St. Pete there is probably not much difference in distance. If you like a laid-back, family oriented, club-like atmosphere you'll like STB. I used to get down there at least a couple times a month just for the Cessna (taking a break from the turbines and the DC3 at Zhills even though Cliff did occasionally bring in something a little more "exotic" ) Always a safe and friendly experience. It's been a long time since I've been down there but if I know Cliff that probably hasn't changed much.

Yes, more like a small dz club atmosphere... and I do believe they are running a fun jumper special for the rest of the month. Maybe I'll get to fun jump too!
