frost 1 #2 February 17, 2008 We' flying into Orlando late late Thursday night to be there for Friday practice jumps. Orlando-Palatka is a bit of a drive, your other choices are Daytona Beach or Jacksonville. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolla 0 #3 February 17, 2008 Jacksonville would be your best bet - about an hour away, not a bad drive. Jax is also small and easy to get in and out of.Blue Skies Magazine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefalle 0 #4 February 17, 2008 daytona is a good option too and its about 45 min to an hour away Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolla 0 #6 February 18, 2008 Awesome! Hope to see you and all the competitors there, will miss out on the early morning stuff due to a 15k in Jax but will show up in the afternoon to assist with judging. Should be a great time, looking forward to the first FLCPA at Palatka!Blue Skies Magazine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunnydee123 0 #7 February 20, 2008 All this FLCPA talk. I am so confused I was able to make my first real 2 jumps this past weekend and they went pretty good. We'll see how the next few weekends go, as to if I will be ready for competition yet. Be safe until then.... Dreams become reality, one choice at a time...

ianmdrennan 2 #15 March 4, 2008 Wind forecast is currently for 22mph. It's early in the week so hopefully it'll change. If not, I will not be attending the meet as I cannot make the Sunday 'weather day'. Blues, IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pedro3 0 #23 March 4, 2008 besides,you need all the pros you can get there. because according to my calculations the total score for the amateurs is more than the pros.i see they had to bring people from europe to catch up. i know there were a couple more amateurs,but thats are handicap. just foolin around cuz im bored in virginia waiting for southwest to take me to palatka.lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piahenzi 0 #24 March 4, 2008 I singularly handicapped the amateurs. My bad, my bad.... will try for 150 pts in Palatka and offset a little the last showing. See you there, rockstar! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
