All I want...

[Mr. Brooks]

Is to jump out of a perfectly good airplane! The last three jumps in a row have been cancelled due to weather.

Two last week because of a low cloud ceiling, and now this morning due to high winds. :facepalm:

[DWARREN123]

It happens. Where are they getting good aircraft nowadays?

[Mr. Brooks]

Well last week we had a Sherpa, and today should have been a MH-47.

It is hard to get a C-130 or a C-17 these days for some reason.

THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.

THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.

My thoughts exactly.

[Mr. Brooks]

Plenty of things actually.

[Mr. Brooks]

My thoughts exactly.

Well it looks like I will spend the next few weeks rappelling out of helicopters instead of jumping out of airplanes, is that better? Haha

If you like being a human piñata it is....

[Mr. Brooks]

If you like being a human piñata it is....

I have already done some rappelling, it's fun but doesn't give me the rush of jumping.

[MudBugjr]

How many jumps do you have under your belt?

[Mr. Brooks]

How many jumps do you have under your belt?

A few short of fifty.

[Rightwinger]

Done jumpmaster school yet? I hear they woosed the hang down to a squat and look but it's still the best seat in the house I'm sure!!

I haven't gone yet, hopefully soon. And you still get plenty "intimate" with your jumpmaster during the jmpi. Haha

[Rightwinger]

Yeah that's the original "enhanced pat down" isn't it!!

I always gave those special folks in my life an extra tug on the D-bag to make sure it was good and secure! I almost pulled a "special" major in the 319th off his feet checking his rig. Yep....all adjusted now, your good to go sir!

Classic!

I have only been 3 times. Rained me out a few years ago when i was trying o get started. My wife thought it was a sign to stop for awhile. I have a jump zone just 3 miles from the house here in Tullahoma. Gonna try again one of these days . Nothing like it thats for sure!!

Fast roping will at least get you close. There's quite a rush reaching out into space hoping you get a good grab on that rope. If you don't, you better do the best PLF of your life.

[Mr. Brooks]

Well I finally got to jump today. I loved it but it was COLD!

Look at the bright side... if you'd bruised yourself up with a bad landing, you wouldn't have needed any ice to put on the injuries.

I'd congratulate you on finally getting to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft, but that just sounds wrong, somehow...

That's exactly what I told one of the guys I was jumping with, haha.

[Guest Letereat!]

I finally did the skydive thing last summer. Have a couple of friends who are brothers that got all ate up with it. I was all fired up, dug the people and thought I was gonna love it and wana go every weekend.

Couldn't rid myself of the paralizing fear of leaping from this tiny ass 170 once we started the climb to altitude. No way I was gonna back out though. Did the tandem thing from round 10k ft. It was like the breathtaking shock of Jumping into a 45 degree creek until the chute opened.

Never Never Never again, and I like high places and cliff edges and the like. Nope. Did not enjoy it one bit!

[Guest Jamie]

You couldn't THROW me out of an airplane... I'd look like a second coat of paint on whatever surface was the farthest from the door.

I've got no problem with flying but I AM NOT getting out 'til the bird is back on the ground, one way or the other.

Why? What's the worst that could happen?

[Guest Jamie]

Why? What's the worst that could happen?

That there'd be two "splat"s... One when I hit, and another when that stream of that I'd left behind me finally caught up.

I don't mind heights so much, but I hate falling.

[Mr. Brooks]

Haha it's really not all that bad. I think you are exaggerating.
