first flight

I did my first tandem July 23 out of Chambersburg, Pa. Absolutely the most awesome experience of my entire life. My question - am I crazy to contemplate at my age (50+), actually getting licensed?? I also can't get the experience out of my head, catch myself grinning from ear to ear just thinking about it and so want to go again - which I will but to actually jump solo - any other girls out there as crazy as I??

I used to cry, now I hold my head up high..
and you see me, somebody new...

Crazy to get your license? You'd be crazy to *NOT* do something you want to do

Do a search on here for POPS (parachutist over phorty)

I'm 54 years old and I just got my "A" license. I just wish I had started years earlier. Welcome to the sport.

Not at all...In fact, you have plenty of time to become an accomplished skydiver. Larry Thomas(who's been a mentor to me) learned to skydive in his 50's. He is currently at the Nationals doing video for a 4-way team. He is also going to participate in a (SOS) Skydivers over Sixty world record attempt in September. Go for It!
