I don't!!

Awesome gift though and she clearly loved it. A friend of mine's wife got him a training session in a fighter plane for his birthday a couple years ago. It was BADASS.

How about a little picture resizing there Lieutenant HugePictures?

Very Nice!! Marriage was a big enough plunge for the Mrs. and me!! Be careful posting pics with PII (personal identifiable information). The form your wife is holding has alot of info!!! I just completed a Gov't data audit and PII is a huge focus now with the boom of identity theft.

I'm still new at this posting pictures thing, I'm working on it. I've made some adjustments to hopefully satisfy some of the concerns. My post quality has suffered as a result.

If I purchased a jump for my wife She'd think I was trying to get rid of her, hmmm... Seriously she appears to be lovin it, not soon forgotten I bet.
I had a buddy and his wife did it and ended up with 2 broken ankles, She's really tall and I guess her feet touched first and also the ground was super hard from the drought conditions we had.

They give you some training first at this place and told her to pick both legs up and just sit down for the landing. It actually was pretty gentle.

Re: What I got my wife for her birthday..

For all the people who want to try it, but aren't sure.........I would strongly recommend going to a jump site and talking to some of the people who do it. There are A LOT of misconceptions that a little education can easily clear up. The information they give you about exactly what to expect and what actual safeties are in place are may change your mind about it. My wife jumped from 14,000 feet and in her opinion the two things to be most concerned about are 1- It's very cold up there, and 2-Her ears hurt for at least a week afterward.

I would definetly do it because I like pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

My biggest fear in the world is heights. Flying however, has never bothered me. Maybe because the distance is so far down that my mind would not comprehend the danger, not sure. I might die from anxiety pryer to the jump, now that could happen. lol

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I don't think I have a fear of heights, though. It's more like a fear of falling.

When she jumped she was up above the clouds and that may make it different than if you can actually see the ground.

I would have to agree with this!!!! I work with a guy that has been "jumping" for years. In fact, he is the reason that I want to give it a try. He was on the last team that set the world record for the most people in a formation. They made a huge diamond shape with somewhere around 101 people. (I forget the exact number). I saw the video of it and it was pretty amazing. I just have to talk my wife into letting my give it a try.

Gee you took the free fall pic out. That was the best of the four you had.

I have a lot more than just four pictures, but I had worked so hard to get those up that when I screwed up during the second editing, I got frustrated (seems too easy these days) and cut it short. Here's some more:

Just post the link to the full sized pictures, then you don't have to worry about the big pictures covering the screen and causing people to have to scroll left and right to read the post.
