Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skyejumper 0 #28 August 24, 2006 OK, let me call the nearest fighter jet pilot school nearby, and see when I can go up. That actually sounds like something fun to do (though not at this time!) It probably costs $$$.... like a whole bulk pack of jump tix.

OK, maybe BASE jumping, but pregnancy won't allow for that either! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites GARYC24 3 #30 August 24, 2006 Idea for ya. Try to find ways to make extra $ real easy. Try to get into movie exra work, they can be interesting sometimes, being around the lights, camera, action on a real set.

For me, I gotta do both. Check it out on our website: www.whitehawkppg.com It's like canopy flight, but you can go UP, and you can fly ANYWHERE! I take off from my back yard sometimes... BoydLife's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and shouting, ".... holy crap....what a ride!"

I don't mean go and get your PPL but do a few pleasue flights where you can take control. I done a few and got to take control for about 15 mins each time. After that the pilot did aerobatics. Was good fun. But if your grounded, maybe you wouldn't be fit for that.. I don't know, just a suggestion Thats what I did when I had my surgery. I was really down after my doctor said I had to wait 6 months to skydive again but, after I started flying and working toward my license it didn't seem quite so bad. I'm not sure if you want to fly if your pregnant but, for some one else looking for an alternative to skydiving for a while I totally recommend it.Fly like a girl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Slowfaller 0 #38 August 25, 2006 bowling 9 strikes in a row and finishing the 10th frame with a 9 spare 7 was the biggest adrenaline rush i've ever had --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Prev 1 2 Next Page 2 of 2 Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
