I'm jumping out of a plane Friday, any advice? - Page 3

I would suggest not getting completely sun-burnt the day before. When you drop and flare in the tight harness, it feels like your skin is being torn from your body. I also jumped before ever being in any plane, so the 1st time ever in a plane, I never landed with it.

Check! Assuming the jump is still on (enough people and weather) for tomorrow I made it thorugh today without getting sun-burnt.

Did you jump ?

S.Horton · 2nd of June 2012 (Sat)

I did. Twice. And both times I needed attorneys. Oh, wait, you were not talking about marriage. Sorry. OT.

Nope, rained out (tornado watch, which is very odd for our area). Was away at a wedding Saturday, my 17th wedding anniversary yesterday, and aiming to jump on friday. A friend wants to join so we are just trying to get our schedules to mesh...Pictures to follow!

Did you ever jump ?

S.Horton · 15th of June 2012 (Fri)

He posted something yesterday. All we know is that he's alive.

JasonMK · 16th of June 2012 (Sat)

lol, yes I alive. Still trying to reschedule, a few friends are trying to work it into their schedules to come. They are both also into photography, so we have been continuing this discussion offline...very eager to go...

Don't give up the dream. 1 week turns into 10 years very quickly.

seaninsa · 20th of June 2012 (Wed)

Enjoy the jump.. the only real jumping is done in the military with 100lbs of gear on lol and at 750 feet AGL.

Have fun and enjoy..are you doing a tandem?

JasonMK · 20th of June 2012 (Wed)

Yes, tandem. Unless you know of any military aircraft that would allow a 1st time civilian go up and jump?

They all will, you just have to get out the door before the jump master can stop you. Not as difficult as you would think.

S.Horton · 28th of June 2012 (Thu)

Jump yet?

CountryBoy · 26th of July 2012 (Thu)
