well , technically i push myself from the edge of a plane, with some guy strapped  to my back ;)

Now, i really don't see a reason , to jump from perfect good airplane.

Free fall was ok, hanging on the chute, wearing very uncomfortable harness was very unpleasant . Wobbling , give me little stomach discomfort. No biggie.

Most pissing off  part, lack of controll
Hanging  over there, descending, and there is nothing to do , except looking at closing ground.

Before we start, one hot chick ask me if im afraid.
I said no.
"- I jump with expert who know whats he's doing, we have spare chute (i hope we had). Nothing bad can happen "

She look at me as at stupid, looks like i should be afraid.

I can say one thing, chicks hanging out  there was hotter then in any airclub i was :)
But its not enough for me to start take skydiving serious, just to impress chicks. Im too old for that

You are not too old. :D And I do agree with hotness of girls. When I jumped, there was a very friendly and beautiful girl.

Btw, if wolf and you are thinking of doing jump not tendum, I would join in.

Jumped for 8 1/2 Years..water jumps, rough terrain jumps, swamps, Mass Tacs, cold weather, desert.  Its all fun. Hueys, Blackhawks, Caribou's,  C130's, C141's C5A.

Wait I forgot...I don't have the Mini D seal of Approval...Nevermind.

My knees and back are paying for it now.

Go for it!

Drive On!!!

:aok

Jump for yourself, not the babes...

Well, weekend before , when we went fly this beauty, they give us parachutes. Just in case.
I never use it  before, neither wear one.
So this weekend jump was more like  "what to expect if....",  gaining experience :cool:

You should have unclipped that piggy backing free loader and have some fun by yourself.

So?


You'd still have a good minute or two of full controll of your destiny. Plus a tremendous adrenaline rush at the end.
