MikeJD 0 #26 May 8, 2006 Gap in the south of France is beautiful, especially early in the season when there's still lots of snow on the mountains. It's in a valley, at the foot of the alps. 3D scenery in freefall is pretty freaky until you get used to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PesadillaK 1 #28 May 8, 2006 I have to say Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Not only because of the scenery which is great, but also because I like to know where I am jumping, geographically speaking. In the end of the terra firme.Full Planes and Blue Skies Always! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #30 May 8, 2006 Of the places I've jumped, the most scenic places were along coastlines. My favorite is at the Florabama Bar, but any beach jump has been a favorite."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 259 #33 May 8, 2006 Lost Prairie for the mountains, Sebastian for the ocean and Star Farms. Where is Star Farms, you ask? Good question. It's on the Central Coast of California, and it's going to be the location of the Second Ever Paso Robles Reunion Boogie coming up this September. You should make plans to be there.

Amazon 7 #35 May 8, 2006 QuoteWhat is your favorite scenic place to skydive? I would have to say the best scenery I have seen at a DZ so far has to be my current DZ... We fly out over Puget Sound just to the east of the San Juan Islands and over the Skagit River Delta.... just south of 10.770 ft Glacier covered Mt Baker... Just to the west of the North Cascades National Park( AKA the American Alps) PLUS we have these HUGE picture windows in our Porter that gets to 14k in 12 minutes or so.

My next favorite is split between Skydive Oregon in Molalla, OR and Skydive Arizona in Eloy.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
