Flyerer 0 #1 November 3, 2010 Hello everyone. I'm hoping to travel to Florida this winter for some warm weather and jumping. I'm looking for a smaller, one-aircraft type DZ with a large landing area and plenty of "outs." I'm content to do two and three ways, and don't mind flying by myself if necessary. Any suggestions are appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #3 November 3, 2010 Check out Palatka, it is a well-establish small dz with fun people who jump there. The dzo, Art, is dz.commer "crutch". I'm sure he'd welcome any questions you have. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrightskyguy 1 #4 November 3, 2010 Listen to Sky Mama. Palatka sounds like just the place you're looking for, and you wont have to jump by yourself. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lauraliscious 0 #6 November 4, 2010 Emerald Coast Skydiving center might be worth looking into too, although it' *technically* in Alabama (near Pensacola). Not sure what type of plane they have over the winter, but it sure is some beautiful jumping and fits the description of what you're looking for.

I did a tandem there about 6 years ago and the place was great. Been itching to get back there at some point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
