Re: What I got my wife for her birthday..
Jumping out of a plane was probably one of the dumbest, things I ever did. Who in thier right mind would jump out of a perfectly good airplane!
That being said, it was one of the most thrilling thing I ever did. The plane i jumped from was not the best plane in the world, so the reasoning for jumping out was not so bad.
I did it in texas several years ago. I was supposed to go shark diving, but the seas were to rough, so we opted for sky diving. When we got to the jump site, the wind was to high for beginner solo jumpers, are only choice was to go tamden with a jumpmaster.
I think I am glad I did because my one fear, was how am I supposed to find this little X from 10,000 feet in the air?
The down side of the tamden jump, was as we were sitting on the edge of the plane to make our exit the jump master asked "how bad can I abuse you" I asked what my choices were, he let out a blood curdling laughand said, none as he did a summersault out of the plane! Once I got done staining my pants, and realized, for better or for worse there was nothing I could do to change the out come of the jump, I relaxed and had a blast!!!
There is nothling like flying thru the air at 200mph, with no plane around you, then when you pop the chute, dead silence and a wonderful view.
Some day I will do it again, but there are still lots of things on the bucket list before I start doing them a second time!
