There seems to be some interest from the "fear" thread. So I thought I would make an "event" out of it. So who would be "in"? Maybe if we have enough people we could get a discount? To give people time to get ready emotionaly, and financially I'm thinking August 14th.

Skydive from 13,000 feet!
Fifteen-minute plane ride in our Super Otter (up to 22 other jumpers)

Pre-jump training
Cool Jumpsuit, goggles and all equipment included

I didn't "hell No!" because of anything in the offer.

I've done my share of jumping out of planes. Got a set of wings to prove it.
With my string of luck over the last 5 years....I just don't like tempting fate any more than I need to.

If you just want to come out, and watch me that's fine. I'm on the accelerated free fall program. Eventually I will land fully upright! :bigsmile:
Either way I walk back to the hanger on my own.

Civilian jumping is SO MUCH DIFFERENT!
I hate AR's because of the Army, but when you shoot, or skydive outside of the military setting it is SO DIFFERENT!

No...I get that there is a difference. :thumbsup2:
