Altitude at your Home DZ, Can you see the rooftop of a walmart or sams club?

[Mr17Hz 1]

I thought this would be a fun statistic. Can you see a walmart or sams club when you exit the plane at a DZ?

Mile High is pretty much right in town these days, we can see all the malls, resataurants, Walmarts, etc under canopy let alone at the top...

Just burning a hole in the sky.....

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Your next poll should be to see how many DZs have strip clubs they can see from the plane.

From Skydive Houston, there's a Walmart about 20 miles away in Hempstead, if you know where to look...

But there are much better landmarks than that to be had.

We fly over wal-mart on the way. If we are doing cross country jumps we use wal-mart as a point of reference.

[Andrewwhyte 1]

Nope. But you can see a Case AND a John Deer dealership! What else do you need?

Heck yeah, at Kapowsin Air Sports in Shelton, WA, We fly past Walmart less than one minute from jumprun. Always handy if you ever owe beer.

No, AFAIK the closest Walmart or Sams Club is around 4k miles from where I jump

We don't have a strip club in sight... But there is a brothel just next to one of my favorite outs,

I can see nuclear power plants

You can probly see a Walmart from every DZ in this country if you look hard enough.

Except those DZs in the midwest?


Walmart AND a Home Depot!
Cedartown is growing!

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Does that lead to some "bad" spots sometimes?

If it's clear, you can see the roof-tops of five Wal-Marts, one Sam's Club, and one huge Wal-Mart distribution center from the skies over Fort Campbell.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Nope, just the Seagrams distillery!!

In Tullahoma, Walmart is at the end of the runway. We used to joke around that if you were going to land off, just land over there so you can come back with your case of beer.
Not so funny story.. a jumper had a cypres save and landed in a tree on the edge of wal mart's parking lot. She woke up to wal mart shoppers trying to get her out of the tree.
