Nice pics, love the one with the plane! I used to jump although it was quite a few years ago. I agree with you, it is very hard to describe the feeling. I loved to jump out, look up and watch the plane fall away from me.
Ken you are brave , think the only way l could leave that plane is by being thrown out .
Looks like you had a great time!

How were you able to look up at the plane with all that adrenaline rushing through you??Oh, I didn't the first few times for sure! I was certified on static line first, and there was no time to look up before the parachute opened. Then I did a bunch of clear-and-pulls before going into freefall jumps. I was probably 50 jumps in before I first saw the plane "fall away". If I recall, I flipped upside down on accident while bombing the door and happened to see it. Pretty sure I messed up that formation because of my antics! LOL

How were you able to look up at the plane with all that adrenaline rushing through you??Oh no, I never went through instructor certification. I was certified to jump out of a plane without supervision or the aid of a jump-master. I jumped regularly for quite a few years, I sure do miss it!Oh, I didn't the first few times for sure!
