kmills0705 0 #1 January 22, 2009 Does anyone know what Palatka's hours are? My boyfriend and I are heading down to Florida to visit a friend of mine in Jacksonville.Palatka is the closest DZ (that I know of). We will be getting in on a Friday around noon and were hoping to get in a couple jumps on Friday. We also plan on spending all day Saturday jumping. We have sent a couple emails and called but no one has been around which leads me to think they are only open Saturday/Sunday. Being from Indiana and having sub zero temps lately we need our winter fix!!!!!!Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give Palatka a call on 386 328 0606 and talk to Art, I think they're open Fri - Sun.Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

Give Palatka a call on 386 328 0606 and talk to Art, I think they're open Fri - Sun. Ok, just over an hour. Traffic on I95 generally goes about 80mph in that area and the distance is roughly 90 miles... Choosing between Palatka and Deland for mid-week jumping... easy choice for me. ----------------------- Roger "Ramjet" Clark FB# 271, SCR 3245, SCS 1519 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crutch 0 #12 January 22, 2009 We are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 8 till dusk. Fridays are usually swoop days with everyone splitting up the cost of the hop-n-pops (price usually works out to about $12 a jump). Sometimes there are enough people for several caravan loads in the evening. Saurdays and Sundays, the caravan flies quite a bit. Averaging about 20 -25 loads a weekend. Hope that helps!blue skies, art Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
