I'm trying to not flood ya'll with proud daddy stuff, but Kali's been taking advantage of her 18th birthday present and is now 16 skydives in; she's been busy this week!

Here's a brief snipped of one of her training jumps where she "did a barrel roll"

cooldude that was very cool. What was it that she kept looking at ? Altimeter ?

Yup... For obvious reasons "altitude awareness" is one of the most important skills they teach new skydivers, so especially this early on in her training (She "only" has 16 skydives so far) she spends a lot of time watching her alti.

With more experience you don't need to look at it as often, you just "know" where you are in the sky, so to speak, but it takes time and experience to develop that skill...

Sorry to keep dredging this thread back up, but I didn't feel this QUITE justified its' own thread, but it did justify a mention at least....

So this evening Kali and I hopped on the two Valks, and went to the local community center, and Kali did a thing for the first time even in her life:
