repcool 2 #32 June 10, 2011 During this Summer I have a 240 mile drive which is just under 4 hours give or take. During the winter to jump I had a 891 mile each way trip once or twice a month which took me 8 hours door to door It's worth it to jump at a good DZ with good people.

Zaccelerator 0 #37 June 11, 2011 I'm almost exactly 100 miles from my home DZ. About 90 mins on the way there, but over 2 hours on the way home. Too bad I didn't start years ago. There's a DZ in my home town less than 10 mins from my parents house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frontloop33 1 #38 June 11, 2011 Between 90 and 150 km one way. Depends on the DZ I want to jump at. At least there are 9 DZ's to choose from.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronaldo 0 #39 June 11, 2011 167km (104miles) – around 2h driving to the only decent DZ in my state (we have 3). I would be happy to drive that if I could jump but the DZ is down because the pilot quit and they can’t find someone capable of flying a Cessna195.Only 1 wind tunnel 800 miles away without freefly option and the cheapest ticket in the country at almost $60!! It is impossible to get current here, if I was in US I could be easily making 500 jumps/year Hope my suffering makes you feel better Engineering Law #5: The most vital dimension on any plan drawing stands the most chance of being omitted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluetwo 0 #42 June 11, 2011 Just a little bit over 2 hours, which leads to camping out at the DZ. I usually go even if the weather looks shabby._______________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
