While visiting a friend in clevland, I needed to kill some time. Drove the hour down to Aerohio and it was worth it!!!!!
I've been to many high profile dropzones lately, and really grew tired of the cold vibe, "hi, where ya from? Thats cool...bye" That did not happen here. I arrived and was quickly introduced to the two other fun jumpers there at the time. After a very through DZ briefing (some say it is difficult to spot the DZ), we began planning our four way. I did not even have to ask!!!
By the time the pilot showed up, one tandem and one AFF showed up, and guess what? ...WE TOOK THE OTTER!!! 8 people in an otter is pretty wild for me!
The whole way up, the staff was pointing out landmarks to help me find my way. To be honest, I can understand how one could become confused finding the DZ, but don't sweat it. Just watch the others on your load after deployment if you become desprate.
On the next jump 2 people volenteered to help me sit fly. They were very safty consience, all while helping me get in the air to learn.
After it was all said and done, they even invited me to dinner! That blew me away! Had alot of fun with them that night. Even was invited up for the next weekend. They really made me feel at home.
If your anywhere in ohio, make the drive. Great people at that dropzone! I for sure will head back there!
