Missouri dropzones (FLW Area)

[amstalder 0]

Ok, we arrived a couple weeks ago, so it's well past time to find a dz! Google, uspa, and the listings here aren't really matching up. Anyone here spend a little time at Fort Leonard Wood and have a recommendation? I'm hoping the listing on here for the dropzone in Rolla is legit, since my kiddo hates the carseat. Thanks!

I think the DZ in rolla closed several years ago... USPA's website is updated listing the majority of Missouri DZ's..... There are a few Cessna DZ's down south.. If you want to jump a turbine then SkydiveKC in Butler Mo is where you need to go.

Jr.,

How about a cross-country "shake-down" followed by a "test boogie" at an airport in a certain City in Southern California for said turbine 206!!??

HI

Fort "Lost in the Woods" to tell you this but for the people that
are doing basic training in that nice facility there is no such thing as a little time.

The best authority to ask about the DZ, s in that area is the conference director. Mr Gary Peak. He coauthored the front page story with Mr Mullins. Mr Peak even answers the phone.

Lost in the woods experiences extreme temps in the winter and summer.Since you got the baby with you get a good inbrief about all the ticks, chigers, and other creapy crawlers unique to the area.

Don't sweat the cessna dz stigmas, it's just some turbine baby's that don't have a clue about the special bonding you can develope at the right cessna dz.

R.I.P.
