Okay, Flyingblind, you pinned me to the mat,
Sorry I made fun of skydiving but it's darn hard for some of us folks to handle that much excitement.

I think fireflyer has tried it 3 times already. That's 3 times more than you'll get me to
jump out of a plane. I am probably saving this one for my midlife-crisis.
If we still have a forum then I'll tell you about it! 8)
I guess it comes down to what you're used to again. I am sure there are people who
wouldn't wanna fly a Skybastard into a fire either... ;D

So, did anybody find a tower controller or airtraffic controller for the forum yet?

I did try it for my 50th birthday.    Did an accelerated freefall course, first jump from 13,500, then two more after that including a chute pop in door (instuctor yanked me back in time)   quit after 3rd time---TOOOOOOOO much excitement fo me!
