NAKED SKYDIVES.

A short story about someone's first naked jump and the children that were traumatized by it.
Early 1990's, a small DZ in Northeast FL. A very nice female jumper was nearing her 100th. The DZO's wife had explained to her that the 100th jump was traditionally done naked. After convincing her that she could choose who jumped with her and that, yes, they would all be naked too, the jumper agreed. It was mid afternoon on a Sunday when she was about to make the big jump. We all donned our gear and threw on shorts over the legstraps, bikini tops for the girls, etc...We had all loaded the King Air and we sat on the taxiway waiting for the guest of honor. Ms DZO is standing on the boarding ladder and turns around to look for our naked newbie. Well here she comes toward the airplane wearing nothing but a rig, shoes, goggles and a smile. Apparently Ms. DZO had neglected to tell her that it's generally accepted that you wear something easily removed for the ride up. So she gets to the top of the ladder, we're laughing, and she's pissed 'cause we got clothes on. She demands that we get just as naked for the ride to altitude. It is HER 100th after all so we oblige and start passing our shorts and stuff back toward the door. She's standing in the door, facing inside(bare butt facing out) and chucking our clothes out as we taxi away.
Did I mention this was a Sunday afternoon? And did I mention this was Northeast FL? It's a pretty small town and pretty much the buckle of the bible belt. Well, one of the local churches had decided to bring a van load of kids out to the DZ to watch the parachutists. They had done this before. Their timing was perfect as they arrived and were walking up to the DZ just in time to see a King Air taxi by with a really nice bare ass sticking out the door, and clothes being blown across the taxiway as they were chucked out the door by the owner of the aforementioned bare ass.
I don't think the church youth group ever again came back to the DZ to watch the parachutists.

Was that Amelia Island?

Billy has video from jumping there and I'm super-jealous.

Word is it's re-opened now but is just a tandem operation.

But we're thinking of crashing the tandem party soon.

Wasn't Amelia. THey weren't running back then. But the guy who had the DZ on Amelia in the late 90's was on the load. I believe his wife was as well.
No it was a little DZ not too far south of Amelia
Good times

Herlong?



Northeast Florida beaches area is BEAUTIFUL. The Bible Belt is definitely in full effect, however.
I think that was the problem with the Amelia Island DZ, unfortunately.

Jeez, ya passed right by it. Not as far south as Flagler. And not near the beach. Think stinky paper mill.

[PLFXpert 0]

You got me.

Other than Palatka which is not as far south as Flagler and not near the beach---wait, there IS a paper mill on the way.

here in the U.S. you can't wear a thong and not expect mad attention, whistles, stares, etc. And if you're on Spring Break in Daytona Beach, then add video cameras to that list.

I absolutely hate that. I mean why on earth do people stare at me when i wear a thong to the beach??

Seriously, my gf feels the same way you do, when we were in jamaica, not one whistle, or unwanted attention at all. Only one dirty old man staring on the nude beach and that was it.

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

I love Jamaica!

Some good friends just took a trip somewhere in that general area--Husband booked a hotel in what they thought was a great place to be---turned out to be a nude beach filled w/ beautifully tan women. The wife was not so pleased.

You got it. It was at the OLD Palatka. There's still a DZ there but not the same place we had back then.

Hey, no worries...the rest of us on that jump should have gone naked too! I thought it was great. My first was at a Cessna DZ. We taxied out to the end of the runway before removing our jumpsuits (nothing underneath). After takeoff we decided to throw the 4 jumpsuits out over the peas, from about 1000 ft. The people on the ground thought someone had fallen out and frapped, and we landed amidst ambulences and fire engines. ( Yes...naked! )

Sundance: (chuckling) "You just keep thinkin' Butch...that's what yer good at."

Yes, I'm quite certain I picked up Billy (and the rest of the load except me) at that paper mill once.

I was still under by big, fat stinkin' canopy back then. Thus, I floated fat & happy all the way back to the DZ and landed softly in the peas...I was the only one who made it back.

The looks on people's faces looking for the rest of the load was priceless.

It was one of BZ's best friends and his wife. Luckily, they'd left the baby at home for this trip.

Does your hunny know you're on the internet talking about other men's balls?
