chaz1234 0 #1 July 10, 2001 Hey gang, I'm going back home to visit the folks in western Massachusetts (Springfield) in a couple of weeks, and of course I've gotta go play in the sky! Wanted to get some advice on a good dropzone to visit for a day or so...any suggestions? I'm looking for a place that's welcoming to out of towners, since I won't no a soul. Maybe I could do a little RW with a fellow dropzone.com junkie? Also, not to be a jump-plane snob, but hopefully I can find a place with at least an Otter, or bigger...you kinda get spoiled jumping at Elsinore!

Macaulay 0 #2 July 10, 2001 Is this Chaz as in Chaz Chaz? I mean, the Texan from Elsinore? You'd remember me as Steve. The guy who, amongst other things, rented a car with a damage waiver and brought it to Elsinore just to wreck it. If so, whaddup?! If not, fuck off. Just kidding.- Macaulay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And in this case, you will be disapointed in anything less than a twin-turbine a/c. A C-182 *big-way* may be fun, though as you will probably make one pass on jump run... (and you thought the JetRanger was small) Just kidding, but, we are spoiled with big a/c, big d/z, etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be on the left side of the country 23 July - 1 August. If not, let's meet somewhere while you're out here!Pepperell is OK, and has the Otter. I was just out at Jumptown, which was quite cool. Much smaller, but they have a King Air and some great people. It is also quite a bit closer to Springfield (75 minutes vs 2 1/4 hours).Chuck mentioned the Ranch, which is also cool (Shawanga! Fly, baby fly!), but also a bit of a haul (2 1/2 hours).Let me know when you plan to be out here.Carl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Macaulay 0 #7 July 10, 2001 Damn... well like I said: Fuck off.

Thanks for the tips though...haven't decided which dropzone to visit yet, but maybe that's just reason enough to visit all three!
