There is no such thing as a perfectly good plane.


Skydiving is fun! I did it last fall, someday I'll do it again... :D

I wouldn't tempt fate in such a way.

The top one is the instructor. Has more than 6500 runs. He was a french army parachutist ... pretty cool heheh.

It would be awesome, but I don't think I'd want to try it. What if the parachute didn't open!?

Being an engineering type who happens to hate imperial units, I think its funny that you've got both metric and imperial in the title.

I couldn't be bothered to buy pics when I did it. But, it is the most awesome thing ever done by man. Ever.

I'll have to find my pics and post. Have jumped twice already and hoping to do more ;)

[karellen]

cool. I wish someday I'll do the same :)

[sanderella]

Cool. :cool:

Ok I have no guts...lmao... I'm deathly afraid of heights, so the thought of doing something like this completely freaks me out, but good on y'all for having the guts!

I don't actually think a fear of heights comes into play here. The most nerve wrecking thing is getting out the door the first time. The second time round you cant wait to get out the door :)

Its great fun, i've done a couple of solo jumps, i find them incredibly relaxing, get a little while just to yourself, great views and all your problems seem insignificant and easy to solve.

No kidding! When I went, I was sitting right by the door the entire way up, and this guy kept opening it and looking around and then closing it. Then my instructor, who was tied to my back, pretended like he was pushing me out of the plane. Jokers...all of'm. I was the first one out of the door and as soon as you're out, that fear of heights disappears completely and its a blast from then on out.

[Ms_Angel_D]

No way, I had nightmares after just watching somebody do it on t.v. The whole Idea of being that far off the ground just freaks me out, I took a greyhound from ohio to california, simply because I was too afraid to fly..lol.

Whiffle I love your avatar man,
