Default What a day!

Flew from gky to t76 (soft field). Got hooked up, up to 10500, jumped out of a perfectly good airplane and pulled the 'chute at about 6k and did some sweet barrel rolls on teh way down. Back into our plane for a flight to mineral wells, dinner, and then back to gky!!


WHAT A FREAKING AWESOME DAY!!!!!!!! Skydiving: great, just what I needed: another EXPENSIVE hobby!

Anybody else gone skydiving?

Yeah, skydiving rocks. I couldn't make a habit of doing it by myself, though. Too many accidents, statistically for me.

When they make a perfect airplane I won't jump out of it.

I've been a couple times, all static line jumps though. Was gonna get my license but then I started flying and preferred that to jumping. Kind of makes me think next time I go I'll probably do the tandem for the free-fall since I doubt I'll go for my license.

I did after I got the job flying jumpers. I never thought I'd do and then after tossin'em out a couple times, i was like "hey, i think i'd like to try it". Once was enough for me though. Your right, it is an expensive hobby.
