BenW 0 #2 July 24, 2001 HUGHBETCHA,There are some great DZs in Holland. I've spent the last 9 months jumping in Holland. When are you going to be in Amsterdam? DZs close to Amsterdam include:Skydive Rotterdam (Pilatus Porter) ; Skydive Zeeland (C182 & C206); Texel (Cessna Caravan & Let410); Teuge (Grand Caravan) and Hilversum (C206 turbine - I think...).PM me and I'll give you some more details.B.

BenW 0 #4 July 24, 2001 It's a small club, but I like it. You obviously have a problem with it! Why waste a message on that crap, come up with a reason for your reply at least! I could answer loads of mails on here with "are you kidding me?" but choose not to. Prick.Besides, it's close to Amsterdam (compared to others....).B.

jhus 0 #5 July 24, 2001 Prick... now it has definately been a while since I have been called that. You really hurt my feelings there. Rotterdam is just a funny sounding name to me, and I felt like pointing out the obvious (mostly because I did not have anything constructive to say at the moment)! I'm sure it is a wonderful place, but I just don't get who comes up with a name like that. Relax a little, this is just an email forum!jhus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westcoastchica 0 #6 July 24, 2001 oh the hostility! can't we all just get a long? sorry, guess that is more of a southern california joke. hmmmmm..well anyway, holland is full of ridiculous sounding names like rotterdam, that is what makes it such an awesome country. it is just different, and neat. la la lai had a blast there and the people were party-freaks! wish i had been jumping at the time i visited, i'm sure it would have just been too much fun.anyway, have a blast on your vacation dude! i am majorly jealous!
