    You weren't directly behind the plane were you? That could have been a fun ride... LoL NO, parallel, but still pretty interesting view from so close

    crosswind abort

    Two weeks ago, when it was so rainy here in Miami (I am driving on the perimeter road around the airport to work) a plane had a go around. I mean the landing strip is just a fence and a bit of grass away. So I am used to see the big birds land on my way to work, but the go around (only the rear wheels touched for a few seconds) got me awake. The engines are really loud when spooling up again maybe 100yards away from your car
  3. The first time I truly considered myself a skydiver was on my first solo jump after completing the course. Not having anyone around as a backup and relying on your own skills that you have been taught.
  4. I just read it up in the local newspapers website. Looks like it wasn't the pilot, but the 24 year old female copilot who tried and botched the attempt. Damaging the plane in the process. The flightcaptain then took over and set down the plane on the second attempt. They are currently investigating why the far more experienced pilot allowed the copilot in the first place to make the landing attempt instead of doing it himself in such a bad weather.

    The Mods

    They're like the CIA. They see everything. I am fine with that, as long as they don't try to find aluminum bars in my pockets

  14. Too come back to the topic... Just wait it gets A LOT better. My best/most exciting/mindblowing jump, was when i was jumping out of the door the firsttime without the instructor holding on to me or grabbing me in freefall. The whole time by yourself. It is AMAZING!!!
  15. That was one hell of a hairy landing attempt Lucky that they were able to pull it off
