Apparently my DZ. I didn't call first. I hope everyone is ok. I was there Saturday.

Happened to me on a random Sunday a while back. It's such a terrible feeling leaving a closed DZ.

I found Temp Flight Restrictions for Joe Biden in Detroit.

Please don't vote for these fuckers.

That happened to me once. I think it was 4th of July or Labor Day. Some nonsense about the plane. So I helped the pilot fiddle with the engine on the old Beech for a couple of hours and then I just walked next door to the other DZ and made a couple of jumps.

This is about skydiving. Not poly ticks.

I mean, why vote for someone that shuts your dz down on Labor Day.

Because TFRs aren't made by those people. It would be exactly the same for whichever side was in office. The TFRs are requested by the Secret Sevice and put in place by Homeland Security via the FAA. It has nothing to do with the person and only to do with the office they occupy.

... Getting picked up by the MPs for being AWOL because you inversed the day/month on your leave pass...

... Especially when you realise you already worked on the wrong date you *did* put down...

Who decided to come to Detroit on Labor Day? Thanks to whomever stole his truck full of bullshit.

Not really. I'm on the ground today. The DZ was open over the weekend, got a bunch of tandems and S/L students up. Most everyone has "relative work" to do today, so the DZO decided not to open.
They tried to do July 4th and only had a handful of people there, and decided today would be similar.

My home DZ in AL. Not that I care, I haven't jumped in nearly two years.

Few places match the melancholy of a closed DZ. Although out-of-season seaside resorts come close.

Worst reason I can remember for closing a DZ was that it was the day of Princess Diana's funeral. Not a very popular decision, as I remember! Safe to say it was done in deference to the sensitivities of the local villagers rather than the club members.
