Nightingale 0 #1 July 12, 2008 I have a friend in Georgia who wants to go do a tandem jump. Where should I send her? We want to stay away from Skyride dropzones, of course. She's also interested in a wind tunnel. Any of those in Georgia? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aardvarkeater 0 #3 July 12, 2008 Send her to the Farm. Great place with great people. The closest wind tunnel would be in Raeford, NC I believe.Muff Brother #4026 Loco Zapatos Rodriguez SCR #14793 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeorgiaDon 340 #8 July 13, 2008 Either the Farm or Skydive Atlanta would be great choices. The Farm is northwest of Atlanta, and SDA is south in Thomaston. One or the other may be significantly closer depending on where your friend is located. Similarly, the tunnel in Orlando is closer if they are in south Georgia (about 6 hrs from Atlanta, only 2-3 hrs from Tifton for example), the one in Raeford may be a bit closer from northern Georgia (4 1/2-5 hrs from Atlanta).

micduran 0 #9 July 13, 2008 Both Skydive Atlanta and Skydive The Farm are great choices. They have different vibes, but they both have good people on staff. Where in GA would determine which is closer.Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaoskitty 0 #11 July 13, 2008 Yeah what they said.. The Farm or SDA. Give her these specific websites: www.skydivethefarm.com www.skydiveatlanta.com .. because if you let her search on her own, she'll probably it one of the 4 million fake websites for that other place. Also, depending on where in GA she lives, she might be closer to one of the carolinas, Florida, or Alabama drop zones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup I can definitely vouch for that, since I just recently was doing the searching for a place to look to do my first jump. First I found, was one of said sites, and later found it was Skyride (from people here). Then found out about The Farm, and since it's about a 4mile difference between that one and the Skyride place, gonna head up there on Sat to hang out, watch, and meet people. Course ask questions as well, and start preparing to save the money for my first one... can we say hello overrtime ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
