Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time

THAT looks so cool. I haven't even done that solo. Is it a Cesna? I see the step pads, but don't think I've seen any on the Cesna or Porter @ my dz.

There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

No shit!!! Scared the crap out of me before going out, but when I was out on the strut, oh shit that was cool, you look down and what a view. I gotta get a picture of that sometime.

And by the way...nice pic! My first tandem out of a Cessna we just jumped from the step, never heard of exiting a tandem like that. Now I have!

Well when i went through training, i did SL. I was fine during class until they got to the part where they told us we had to climb out of the plane and hang on the strut. I'm like, i can jump out, but i don't know about this hanging thing. I got a picture of me on my first ever SL jump hanging on the strut and i have the biggest smile on my face.

Sounds very exciting. But I totally get the "not sure about hangin thing". Just getting into that position could be scary - but I'm sure the view & thrill are 100% worth it. As are most scary things in life.

Oh....I did as soon as I got out of the King Air with my head back so I couldn't see the ground. Once out of the plane I couldn't stop grining.....Gotta Luv It!:P

On the ground, I started whining about "no I cant do that, no way, you gotta be kidding...", so they say why not, and Im like "climb out on the f**king wiing strut are you crazy???"

So I had to ask, "what happens if I climb out and something happens, and I slip and fall?"

So they say, "well, you were going to fall anyway...":D I wish I would have gotten a pic of that. Id do it again, just not a poised exit (hanging exit), and not S/L

you mean by the feet??

that used to be a favorite hanger game when i was at the JTF, walk out on the wing wearing steel toed boots and flip up to hook your toes on the I beams....took more ab strength than anything else, but it was always cool looking down

that would be a neat thing to try (without the boots) off the strut..

Even cooler yet is to climb up on top, an crawl out on the left wing while your buddy crawls out the right wing, all while the pilot is hating you and wrestling with the controls, then on the count of 3 you both slide over the leading edge of your wing, and a second later meet feefall for a HD dock.....:D:DB|;)
