gatorbait 1 #1 May 6, 2003 Hi! I just made my first tandem yesterday! IT WAS SO AMAZING! I am still on an adrenaline high! My husbandis close to his C license & works at a DZ near our home in Indiana. I am trying to find a way to get enough funds to go through AFF. I can't. It was absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever done! Before yesterday I had flown in a wind tunnel a few times but had never musterd up the courage to make the leap, I would like to kick myself in the butt for not going sooner. Anyway, a little bit more about us...we are both 28 been married for 5 years and have 4 kids, yes you read right, 4 kids! My husband is real eager for me to get to point to be able to fly with him, I am looking forward too it too. Thats about all! Blue Skies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cava 0 #10 May 9, 2003 Welcome new sky person. You're in good company with the financial challenge. "They" say that skydiving is one of those things for rich people. That's funny, if there are any rich people at my DZ I'm not aware of it. Well, there is that one guy.... Anyway, once you get through Student Status then eventually get your own rig, the worst is over. Right now I'm making payments on my own rig. I can only afford to drink 5 nights a week now. The Horror. The Hardship. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
