proswooper 2 #1 February 7, 2010 Ok So we are opening a swoop oriented dropzone just outside of Orlando in Coleman, There will be either a turbo 206 or a suped up 182. either way the hop'n pops will be cheap. I am a swooper at heart and we want to make this the premier Canopy Piloting training Destination in the country so please come check us out, We will be opening pretty soon around the third week of this month. We plan to have full time IPC swoop courses set up and generally share the love in any way possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frost 1 #2 February 8, 2010 Damn Paul! You're coming out of retirement? Awesome, bro. Hope to make it there sometime this season. Maybe you and Al can make it an FLCPA meet DZ for next season.SoFPiDaRF - School of Fast Progress in Downsizing and Radical Flying. Because nobody knows your skills better than you.

proswooper 2 #5 February 8, 2010 We are going to be flying with as few as 3 people to make a load go so you do the math. We are keeping things small to cater to a small select group of people, swoopers. We also will be doing tandems but they will mostly be on saturdays. Tandems and swoopers only, hence : Swoopers Paradise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proswooper 2 #6 February 8, 2010 Thanks Ian Basically a small aircraft DZ aimed at keeping it simple, and safe for swoopers to do their thing! Swoopers tend to get the short end of the stick at any other DZ. Well if you want to swoop you can come to us and never have more than three or four other canopy pilots in the air with you at any given time, just like competition. We will have full time noodle courses set up and cheap hopnpops always. If people are willing to support the idea then we will also put in a Pond. The landing area is very smooth regardless, we also have drinks/snack shack, showers, pool, covered packing, and Free Camping. Hotels are just 4 miles away. Aircraft will be turbo 206 or a suped up 182 (not sure which i am bringing down from michigan just yet) and from Nov to Feb we will have a super otter (starting 2010) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
