Vapor 0 #1 August 23, 2004 Took a trip 'home' to NY last week and spent most of it jumping at SLI... spiffy caravan, unbeatable views of the Atlantic & sound, sweet openings, and even with 100+ tandems a day, patient & friendly staff willing to indulge a low-number jumper with a taste for high-wind landings. If any of my fellow SSMers are going to be in the city in the near future, get your ass out to Calverton. Many thanks to Willy, Jim, Chris, Almo, Duncan, Eli & co for a good time - ---------------------------------------- 'Of course it hurts. The trick is not *minding* that it hurts.' - T.E.

Brian425 0 #2 August 23, 2004 I've heard some nice things about them. I jump at the Ranch. LI was a close second in chosing a home DZ. The only downside to LI for me is the summer weekend drive out there. I heard nice people, good planes, great views.

Vapor 0 #5 August 23, 2004 Yeah, the traffic situation took a little getting used to -- all those private planes & helicopters going out to the Hamptons. One guy I jumped with said it was like 'playing frogger'. While I was up there one of the TMs got buzzed (~150 yds) under canopy by some idiot whose passengers wanted a look... ---------------------------------------- 'Of course it hurts.
