Around Pittsburgh PA?

[MattM 0]

I have a job opportunity in Pittsburgh, PA - what DZs are close to that area? I hate jumping in the cold, so how long is the jumping season there?

Out of those Skydive PA has a Porter, Canton had a King Air this year and Cleveland had some sort of Turbine. Skydive Ricks is a big accuracy DZ with some 182's and Top Fun I understand is a single 182 DZ.

At about an hour and a half to an hour 45 you'll get close to Aerohio which is the closest Otter/Caravan DZ to you there.

Season is usually a late March - October thing. Maybe some winter stuff out of airports but a lof of DZ's in the area have grass strips. Grass strips means in the winter it has to be frozen or dry, other wise the planes sink in the mud.
