PhreeZone 15 #2 February 13, 2009 Bob, not much in that area. Heading north to MI or East to Ft Wayne are the closest options. It really sucks that the last DZ's near there had serious issues and fatalities and closed years ago.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 15 #4 February 13, 2009 Others near by are the ones out of Celina that closed years back and the one out of St. Mary's that closed also. Close is still 30-45 minutes away...Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratostar 5 #5 February 14, 2009 Celina is St.marys, not two different dz's and yes Bob T. closed it quite some time ago, last time I saw him he was on one of the all round loads with us in Richmond in 2001 and his place was closed then. BG had a student only op there for a few years, it was still there in the late 90's, not sure when it closed, it was a GM Dz.you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
