flying_phish 8 #2 August 2, 2018 "The best"? Are you trying to start a blood feud here??? I jump at Connecticut Parachutists, Inc. (CPI) in Ellington. That's been my home for the last 8 years, so I love it there. But there's another great DZ in Danielson, and the people there absolutely love it too. CPI has a Twin Otter and a 182 and flies Friday-Sunday. I believe Danielson has a Caravan, 206, and 182, and flies all week if there's weather and jumpers (not sure what aircraft they fly when). Both are small turbine DZs, both have a homey, small-club feel. When will you be in the area? We're having our 58th anniversary boogie next weekend, registration is only $25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flying_phish 8 #4 August 2, 2018 Awesome, come check it out! Organizers, food, beer, live music, swoop'n'chug obstacle course, probably a slip'n'slide. We're getting started on Friday if you can make it out early Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlike some places our two DZ's have a great relationship, and both DZ's are great. I would swing by both of them if you have the time. We are open 7 days a week at Danielson, an we primarily fly the Caravan even during the week. If you are coming out during the week give manifest a call, start times can sometimes be later in the day."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
