<---- 98 jumps before I was grounded...... Ironically, my last 5 were military jumps. Oh come on, you know you want to do it. Kind of like that old " Folger's" Maxwell House coffee commercial, Good to the last drop? I'm game!!! |

It sure does, more and more, oh well. I just remembered their logo of a cup with a drop falling out. Can't remember important stuff, but I remember that  |

I'm not certain but it "appears" that some guy near the top center is whacking these guys to make them take the leap ????

forgot to mention. See Oh come on, you know you want to do it. Nope, not gonna happen, unless it's on fire or crashing. Just like them hot air balloons, ain't EVER getting in one of those. |

I think it's important to note that there are volunteers and those who are less willing. BTW, the guy doing the whacking is reported to be a lawyer.  |

I did a couple of static line jumps. On the second one the jump master had me hang onto the trailing edge of the wing and turn lose when he gave the signal...  I'm pretty much over that foolishness  though one of those jump runs where everyone runs down the hall and jumps out of the garage door at the end of one of those cargo planes sounds fun... -Mike |
