Terminal A in the USA with elevator
In prep for a Euro BASE trip this June, I'd like to get some terminal experience in both my tracking suit and Acro wingsuit.

The goal is rapid skills development/experience acquisition, so it seems that several days at a terminal A with an accessible/working elevator is the best bang for my buck.

It's not that I'm normally opposed to climbing and "earning my altitude", it's just that I need as many repetitions as possible in a short period of time.

The locals inform me that the well-known A on the West Coast is currently not meeting the elevator requirement (hope that changes eventually).

I've heard vague reports that there are 2 As that meet my criteria in the South West (I hope I'm being appropriately vague in "naming" locations).

If I've got to travel East of the Rockies (I'm in Los Angeles), that's fine, though I'd prefer closer.

So can someone please PM me if you're a local (or know a local) in an area with an A meeting my criteria?

Much thanks in advance.

Since I've only recently begun the sport, my communication network is still fairly thin. Now that I've exhausted that route (contacting people I personally know), I'm posting here, hoping it's not in bad form to do so.

Re: [bdrake529] Terminal A in the USA with elevator
Although I live in the Western US now, I come from the Gulf Coast.

If you're lucky enough to connect with a Gulf Coast jumper, you should be set...the coast is nasty with 2000 footers.
