HUSHPUPPY 0 #3 June 10, 2005 My first tube dive! We launched from the Porter and held it for over 4000ft! It went horizontal and accelerated to the point where we couldn’t hold on anymore!

Sebazz1 2 #6 June 10, 2005 My favorite jump was my space shuttle jump. We where right at the edge of the earth's atmosphere when the pilot cut and we opened the cargo bay door. Man what a sureal feeling, the visual was crazy! There where clouds over much of the northern hemisphere but I could see a hole over north central California. I checked my spot and floated out the cargo bay door. I went out front float and another astronaught wen't off the space arm. I didn't wear gloves because I knew I would be plenty warm on re-entry and I was right. Phew it was hot hot hot. So me and the other astronaught turned point after point, transitioning from freefly to belly to freefly. We must have had over 300 points before we broke off at 80,000 feet. I tracked all the way from Panama until I was right over Paso Robles CA. I pulled at about 10,000 feet and glided for another 10 minutes into Star Frams. Man that is one memory I will never forget. I wish I had video... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scaryshari 0 #11 June 10, 2005 After struggling with fall rate and backsliding across the stratosphere, 3 great girls (Kim, Kirsten, Larissa) took me up for a 4 way. Really simple skydive, but I stayed in - for the most part. I couldn't stop smiling. That skydive meant the world to me. is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygirlpc 0 #12 June 10, 2005 There are so many! I'll tell you about my most recent. It happened the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. I got the opportunity to lurk the tandem of my sister (who is also my best friend). It was a beach jump right before sunset. It was one of the best jumps! Way too much fun! It was so cool to have her in the plane with me and to get to share a little piece of my passion with her! It was her 5th tandem, I just have never gotten to be that big a part of it. This one was very special! Danielle "Life is either a great adventure or nothing." - Helen Keller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpergirl 0 #14 June 10, 2005 Attempting a 3 way with my dad on the same load that my grandma did her tandem. Watching my brother go out on his first static line then taking the plane the rest of the way up with my dad to do solos from the top. 2 weeks ago at WTS going low on an 8 way (I think it was) and popping right into my slot after having struggled with it since I started jumping again.

A load had gone up after the storm passed and a big way was opening up with this huge thunderhead in the back ground. The sun was setting and it was lighting up the canopies and the clouds just perfectly. I was standing there in my sandals with a cold beer just soaking up how beautiful that picture was when I heard this little girl say, "Look mommy, butterfly people!" I turned to see her mom look up then start to lean down and explain to her daughter that those were canopies, not 'butterfly people', but then she smiled, put her hand on her daughter's head and said, "Yes honey... butterfly people." Sorry if that's a bit too sappy, but it still stands out as one of my favorite moments in over a thousand jumps. "Ignorance is bliss" and "Patience is a virtue"... So if you're stupid and don't mind waiting around for a while, I guess you can have a pretty good life!
