NWFlyer 2 #2 February 12, 2011 Skyventure New Hampshire in Nashua is going to be your closest bet, I think. http://www.skyventurenh.com/"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

PhreeZone 15 #4 February 12, 2011 That is the only tunnel in the Northeast. Next closest one is in North Carolina.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #5 February 12, 2011 QuoteThanks for the info. New hampshire is a hike from me though. Hey, some of us (not-so) old-timers can remember when there were only tunnels in Florida and Southern California (and not long before that, none at all). Just in the 6 1/2 years since I've been a skydiver they've sprouted up all over the place.

AliMac 0 #6 February 13, 2011 Where do you jump? there are plenty of us in NYC and the surrounding areas that head up to the NH tunnel failry often, most wouldn't mind giving you a ride if you chipped in for gas! The Ranch FF team Scarecrow, does a weekend once a month with really cheap time and lots of people carpool up for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vanair 0 #10 February 13, 2011 Real old timer here, went to the first one in Canada 28 years ago. Pretty cool, met Mike Farrell there he was there with his kids, nice guy, big star at the time, B.J. Hunnicut on MASH. There was one at Action Park NJ Years ago. Now Mt. Creek but I think they closed it. There is one going to open in Meadowlands NJ as part of the new complex I think it's called Skylands. Google should turn it up. They will also have an indoor ski slope.

danielcroft 2 #11 February 13, 2011 There are several ranch groups and ranch related groups that make trips up to the NH tunnel. If you get onto ranchrookie.com you can ask there about a trip. Make sure you attend safety day too. Welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vertifly 0 #15 February 27, 2011 Hooch here, from Scarecrow. Check out our site on Facebook at "Team Scarecrow". We run 2 trips a month. One on the first weekend and one two weeks after that. We make sure that you get the best rates, have instructors present who know about getting started, and provide a progression that helps flyers understand tunnel-safety and 'what to do' for the first few visits; until you get the hang of it. Our Facebook page provides it all. Msg us through there. Tuck or Rob will respond promptly to any inquiries. Stay Radical - Hooch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vertifly 0 #18 March 4, 2011 Cool fellas. Yeah, it's surprizing to us how quickly these events get booked. But I ain't complaining. The more the merrier of course. As of now, there should be room on the 19th. If not, there is always April! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
