prodiver913 0 #1 February 18, 2009 Thinking about making that my home DZ from now on and wondering what people think of it for the the people who go there or have visited there. Thanks a lot. I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

matthewcline 0 #2 February 18, 2009 How close are you to Chambersburg? That was a GREAT DZ last time I visited it. If you have not been there yet give it a try, if it is within reason. Of course I drive 4 and 1/4 hours to the DZ I mostly jump at. I have never been the Skydive PA. So no Opinions there. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prodiver913 0 #3 February 18, 2009 i jump at chambersburg regularly now and, for me, the vibe isn't there. Don't know what Skydive PA is like so willing to check it out. I have heard stories that back in the day chambersburg was the shit. I dont know what happened........... great plane and all though I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lawndarth 0 #4 February 18, 2009 I've been jumping at Skydive PA at Grove City for the past two seasons. It's a great club with a great vibe, usually jumps a porter. Come on over, you will like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peregrinerose 0 #6 February 19, 2009 I second that question. I miss your corner of the state (went to Westminster College) and have been itching to jump with Skydive PA. Being on staff at another DZ makes travel tough except in the winter Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvtofly 0 #8 February 19, 2009 Quoteare they open in the winter? like now? Unfortunately we don't jump during the winter. As it looks right now we're not going to have either plane back until at least the end of March. Also...as an FYI...we're doing a 2 part Safety Day. March 28th and April 4th. For more details PM me.

jrsides 0 #9 February 20, 2009 I own the DZ and don't believe we've met. Did you jump here once in the fall when it was really windy? Do you jump a pilot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotsR4pimps 0 #10 February 20, 2009 I jump at chambersburg and I feel that they have a pretty good vibe there. Can be a little windy at times. Last summer we were without the king air but they still managed to get us experienced loads even with tons of tandems and three cessnas!!! To each his own but I wouldn't mind traveling to Skydive PA but the Burg is closest to my home and we're open all year!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotsR4pimps 0 #11 February 20, 2009 Hey J.R, it's John Flaherty. Are you guys gonna be open this weekend? Figure I would ask this time instead of driving 115 miles and turning around. Thanks a lot man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peregrinerose 0 #12 February 20, 2009 Call me crazy and all, but can't ANY DZ be characterized as 'windy at times'? To the Skydive PA-ers... do you guys jump during the week in the summer? Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

likestojump 3 #14 February 21, 2009 I heard that during the afterhours you see more cock than tits at SkydivePA. I also heard that it's still worth it to check it out. but may just be hearsay.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrsides 0 #15 February 21, 2009 Yep, just like any other weekend we are here 9am till dark. Gettin' ready for the coach course next weekend and Safety Day on the 14th. See you here.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACtuallu if you want to see tits, there are a few places in Pittsburgh I remember from my college years that I recommend you frequent if you want to see boobies - in skydiving the odds are against you - 83 to 17 to be precise. Now if you want to go to a friendly dropzone that is easily accesible, has a nice plane, good packing mat and is a very recommendable place - try Skydive PA.jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.
