nikejumper 0 #1 August 1, 2011 Does anyone have any info on Skydive Opelika in AL? I know it closed, but rumors on the street is that someone bought the airplanes and is going to open the DZ again... if true, super bummed Buddy isn't going to be there/running the show, but it will be nice to not have to drive 2 hours to a DZ if anyone has any info to share, please let me know I loved jumping/hanging out there, just sucks that it had to close.Is it saturday yet?

BillyVance 34 #3 August 2, 2011 I havent talked to Buddy in a long long time, but I'm assuming he was tired of running the DZ due to age... Don't take that as fact. Still, he has been a DZO longer than most of them!
