How Far Do You Drive To Get To Your Home DZ?

Recommended Posts

2 hour drive or 45 minute flight. Under class B airspace here, so need to get pretty far out to find skydiving. All in all driving is quicker when you count the drive to the airport, planning, preflight, taxiing, and tieing down at the DZ, but its a hell of a lot funner.

WHICH BY THE WAY, i AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING DOING NEXT YEAR ANYWAYS- AND GAS IN THE US IS AROUND $1.50 US A GALLON, RIGHT NOW COMPARED TO WHATEVER IT IS YOU PAY THERE.

5 minutes:) I can watch jumprun from my front yard.

To add insult to injury, I had to turn down a trip to Pitt because of other commitments. No, I'm not impressed.

I'm only a 15 minute drive to one of my home DZs...but it's also my office job during the week. (I work full-time at this place)
My other home DZ, the one I go to for fun on my days off, is 52 miles one-way. (a 50 minute drive)
As we all would do, I've driven hours upon hours each weekend for a little altitude. Isn't it funny what we'll do for a jump? :)Blue Skies,

I'm exactly 85 Miles form doorstep to doorstep. The part that really sucks is out of that 85 miles 80 of them are highway and I don't have cruise control.



Try a brick, good way to get the adrenaline flowing before even getting to the DZ... :)
