Default skydiving or windtunnel on sunday

well usually I just leave sunday and go back home but during the summer I started skydiving and there is a dropzone called skydive smoky mountains which is between us and knoxville and their is also a wind tunnel between us.

so sunday Ill probably head out to there and jump at the DZ or do some tunnel time. Anyone else interested in doing a jump (tandem of course if ya dont have your license) or doing some wind tunnel time (just did 4 hours over spring break and its not the same as skydiving but its damn fun).

so figured Id just throw out the invite

yeah I personally advise doing the tunnel....becaue of a few things

1) its cheaper
2) it wont take all day waiting for loads to go up (depends on how many people wanna go of course...personally the more the better for me cause then Ill jump all day out there lol)
3) if you really are interested in skydiving id say do a tandem the DZ closest to your house because if you continue that is where your going to continue jumping at most likely
4) wind tunnel is more bang for the buck as for actual flying time
5) its the closest your going to come to actually seeing what it is like to fly, tandem your riding along, tunnel - your basically feeling what its like doing a solo jump minus the wind blowing from the side which ya dont really notice anyway

either way im going up there just wanted to see if anyone else wanted to....figured if enough people wanted to do it..depending on how long of a drive it would be there might be some nice back roads to take to get there who knows.
