When the doors opened and I looked down my first thought was "If I fall out now I'm f*#cked!" When I saw Bolado golf course underneath me the angels did sing!

Very cool just watching these doors open under your feet with nothing there but pure clear fun between you and the ground...And from where I was (just aft of the bomb rack), I could tell where we were as soon as the doors were open. Unfortunately, they just said "Go!", no bombs away. Laura went first, and I really wish I had a camera on to catch the look on here face when they said go...she looked stright ahead at Kath, then over at me with a total deer-in-the-headlights look, then went for it!
