Thank you for sharing those wonderful memories. My first jumps were at the 82nd Airborne Sport Parachute Club in 1981. I was at the post for a six week training course and attended the skydive training at night after my other classes. Unfortunately I made only three jumps, lost my logbook, and haven't been back. Now I'm ready to go again. Do any of the military bases still have clubs? All of my jumps were freefall - no tandem or static line - and I want to keep it that way. I'd like another week of training and the chance to freefall again.
Thanks again for the wonderful story.
