Ah sweet irony. It's the perfect day to open a DZ. All up-jumpers care about is having the most fun , from the highest altitude, with the fastest turn-around. And those that provide it will generally do quite well. Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends

I'm much more likely to die driving to the DZ..... There are some wide open stretches of road that beg for terminal velocity...

I thought I would respond to this thread as well. I have jumped at Skydive Kansas since 1998 and now fly camera for them. I have always enjoyed myself there. I have 3 Cessna DZ 's about the same distance from my house. And I prefer to go to Skydive kansas because of the family atmosphere. Jen & Jim have always treated me like a friend from the first time I showed up. I firmly believe , as business owners, they have the right to run the business how they see fit. I understand the frustration of not knowing the policy and being turned away after making a long drive to the DZ.(I think from this point forward, the policy is pretty clear to everyone...) I am one of those jumpers who can live quite easily with a 1.5 wing loading restriction, so I will continue to jump at Skydive KS. Because I love to jump and I love to jump with the many friends I have made at Skydive kansas. If you don't agree with the policy, there are other DZ's from which to jump and of course you can open your own DZ and make your own rules!

Hey! Mikey! Nice picks..... Still doing that ugly head down??
