What do you do when someone throws a big planet at you?
Throw your pilot chute in defense!

My mom (who is 66) says she'll only go when she's "old enough to make the newspaper." So she wants to wait till she's over 80.

A 98yr old woman jumps there every year? Wow I thought she would be 96 one year, then 97, then 98, etc. Sorry couldn't help but be a smart ass.

Oh it's 4 o'clock I'm outta here.

Hey, I know that guy!

That video was very popular at the DZ this weekend. The younger guy that's talking to the camera is
Sean, who flies camera and does packing at the DZ I go to. Once school starts up, during the week, the
DZ takes the plane to various college towns and does tandems. This one was in Kearney, Nebraska,
and I think Sean's family is from around there. He said he was trying to get his dad to do it and he
wouldn't, and his grandma said "if he won't, I will". So she went, and Sean shot the video of the dive.
The local station picked it up and then forwarded it to CNN.

I need to show this to my mom. When I first started jumping, she said that she would never do it. A couple of months ago, she said she'd like to do a tandem for her birthday in February. She'll only be 64. This is very cool!

Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
