1st Jump Pics...

Recommended Posts

I made my first jump in Saint Marys GA. Not only did I have to do a tandem, its what I wanted to do as well. Had I only been offered an A.F.F. I would not have gone. Heres my first AFF. Second picture is when they asked if I was ready for a solo. I just stared for a few seconds and said "uhhh okay"

Was I swimming or skydiving? ;)



I never got the photo that was taken of me on my first S/L (taken by some out-of-towners who took the class just to do one jump ... and they never emailed me the photos), but I'm sure I looked about like that. I don't think there was much of an arch ... I remember more of a "holy shit I just let go of an aircraft in flight and I'm skydiving oh wait I was supposed to arch or something well now it's too late" feeling. :D

Mine.

I'm pretty sure I've had that same ridiculous smile on every subsequent jump. :)



I think it's evolved a bit. I'd offer proof, but I don't have it on this machine. ;)

This ain't from my first jump... it was taken right before my second or third. :$:D:DB|

That was a skyvan, and since it was my first AFF I had to back up to the door and just hop back... i had no idea that it was "cool" esp since I HATE planes.

If you love CASAs does that mean your gonna hit SSM ? They have a CASA this weekend. I cant wait to superman out:D

I don't have any of my free fall on my computer right now, but here is my first landing. I told my friends to get lots of pictures of my "one and only skydive":S Yeah right. The second I landed I ran right up to my instructor and asked when I could sign up for # 2:D
