  1. The DZO is Not his dad. The TM in this video is. At one time his dad did own the DZ but that is ancient history.

    I'm a bit ashamed of Jarret's attitude on this thread, he probably will live long enough to regret what he's said here though. (I really hope so)

    And Jarret:
    Attitude really is dangerous - it's attitude more than anything else that causes people to do the stupid shit that kills them.

  2. Skydive Toledo is open Friday through Monday. Now that we have a caravan, we are a lot less slow...

    www.skydivetoledo.com

    It's 60 miles straight north from the airport. Skydive oregon is a bit closer and open during the week but either DZ will make you feel welcome. Why not try both?

    hmmm...
    I'll believe it when I see it. WAIT I'll believe it when I'm jumping out of it.

    We all know what happened last summer with the Otter.



    Agreed. There was nothing worse than seeing that big bird just sitting there, not flying, and not being able to get on a load because the plane was filled with tandems.

    I think *maybe* the fact that there's an actual contract this time just might make a difference. The last two turbines were missing that one critical component for reliability, a signed document...

    The previous failures are why no-ones really getting excited yet, but when caravan is flying, I'm sure there will be a lot people that can't wait to come back to Toledo.

    At any rate, I'm ready. Toledo is a great place to jump, and the people have always been the best, but a Cessna 182 just ain't cutting it for people that want to get some serious skydiving done. Hell, maybe with a real plane your dad might even came back and make a few jumps with us.
