It takes me 45 to 50 minutes for me to get to ASC. I think the mileage is 40.5 or something like that.

Do you realise that is less than 1 mile per hour, What do you drive a john deere

Hmmm me thinks you have your math wrong.

I'm so funny I crack my head open!

45-50 minutes to get to SDA.

2 - 2.5 hrs to get to ASC/The Farm/Gerogia Skydiving Center (Rome)...

Not sure how long it would be to get to Skydive Monroe... (I'll find out sooner or later...)

Don't discuss DZ politics w/me. I don't like regular politics... and I'm just here to jump...

52 miles to Chicagoland Skydiving Center. Under an hour unless it's rushour, then it can be 2 hours plus.

88 miles to Skydive Chicago, 90 minutes if its good, over 3 hours if its bad. This is largely why I haven't been to Skydive Chicago all year...

25 minutes if I walk - 20 if the gate is open and I can cut across the airport.

10 minutes on my bike.

3 minutes in the car.

From my backyard I can watch everything except people landing.

Canberra to nowra. 3 hours if i dont stop. 3 and a half if i get breakfast and fuel and stuff. Of course if i do the dirt track it can take 2 and a half, but of course i would use a rental car for this. Mind you it is one of the most fun bike rides i have been on going up and down kangaroo valley.

210km one way. Normally 420+ km per weekend. My bike is clocking up the milage but I did buy it for the sole reason so i had a way to get to the dropzone.

You really can't go wrong with any DZ in this area....

I am partial to Zhills. It has a great vibe. We have LO for when you get off student status....ect.

Well since I don't go to the local DZ in my state, I have traveled as far as the east and west coast for skydiving.

I travel about 1.5 hours to get to Orange in Virgina. And I would drive longer if I had to to get there.

Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

[Unstable 8]

Here are my Numbers:

Nearest Dropzone - KSUPC, 15 Minute Drive
Second Nearest - Skydive Kansas, 1 hour, 10 minute Drive

Nearest Turbine - Quantum Leap - 7 hour Drive
Next Closest Turbine - Skydive Dallas - 8 hour Drive

I wish Kansas City or Witcita would Hurry up and get something that burns Jet fuel........

Way back when, in the Long-long-ago, I would make the Pilgramage about every month to Freefall Express (about 4.5 hours away) when they had a King Air. I would Travel every weekend up to 4 hours each way for a Turbine...

My first DZ was about 25 min away.

My current DZ is about 15 min away. Less on the way back if I decide to land at my house. Unfortunately work is 40 to 100+ min away (traffic, grr), but we all have our priorities, right?

We live 15 minutes away from the DZ at Kapowsin. On marginal days, I can hang around the house getting stuff done, and still be on call for tandems, etc. If the weather clears, my wife and I grab the rigs, the kids, and go. Pretty cool, huh?
