zaofan 0 #1 September 17, 2008 Wow! I jumped for the first time Saturday, 9/13/08, and I have to admit that I can't stop thinking about it. Jump #2 can't come soon enough. I hope you all can see my jump numbers soar soon... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zaofan 0 #3 September 17, 2008 I jumped at Skydive Greensburg in Indiana. I went tandem, but am going to go through AFF training next year. Hopefully with my wife too! She loved the jump as well. Yes, I've had dreams about it too. Today is as clear as can be in Indiana, blue skies everywhere. It ain't making it easy to be stuck on the the ground at work!

zaofan 0 #7 September 30, 2008 Nope, no jump for me on 9/27. I checked the weather report the morning of, and it was showing clearing skies at the DZ starting at 9:00 am. My jump was scheduled for 9:30, so I drove 2 hours to the DZ, saw heavy low clouds, but thought "ah, they'll clear soon enough!". I went through the ground training, all the while the clouds never cleared. So after waiting at the DZ for ~6 hours, they said no jumps today. I have to re-schedule. Oh well, maybe within the next couple of weeks I'll be able to start. We'll see - it's already paid for so it'll happen sooner or later. How'd your jump go???

mr_music11 0 #8 September 30, 2008 Ahhh...yes, another addicted person to the sport!! welcome to the wonderfull world of "living in the moment" ( when was the last time you jumped out of a plane and thought about your car payment that was due!!! ) Never will skies, planes or big pieces of colorfull fabric look the same. What a liberating feeling for the small price of a jump tix. Good luck in your AFF, come on out to northern cali where the weather is great and the skies ususally blue! If flying is piloting a plane.. then swimming is driving a boat. I know why birds sing.. I skydive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
