Wow – I’m glad you didn’t die!QUOTE]
Thanks, Pretty Girl! Then I wouldn’t have got to see you in August and gotten that hug from you and the handshake from your Robert, right? Guess I’ll go ahead and get my license. I like it up there!
Yeah, I’d imagine I’d be the guy parachuting down with his pants on fire. I have no idea how that’d happen, I’m just sure the Germans would have looked up at 5000 parachuters and one of ‘em with pants smokin’ like a signal flare. They’d point and say “Zat boy’s afflicted.”
I know, Baby-Doll, but he assured me he didn’t take his Enzyte last Saturday!
My Dad jumped on a static line at 800 feet, and yeah, he was headed into enemy fire. That’s the reason I love him (or his memory) so very much. I am half-German, half-American, but his bravery is what keeps America free. My Dad was a guy who just did what was needed of him. My Dad was a hero…
My Dad rocks(ed)!
Who Are Ya?
Airborne Dopers!
How Far?
All The Way! All The Frickin’ Way!
Why?
** Because We Love Each Other!**
Thanks to all who answered! (And yeah, I’m still up there, Dude!)
Great pictures, Quasi! My husband has been trying for years to get me to jump. He jumped in the Army. Maybe I will, you’ve made it look like so much fun.
Abby, a tandem jump is the very safest way to try sky-diving! Go for it, ASAP. If you don’t make it and you splat, I will buy your casket (or your baggy )
If you do make it, I want a candlelight dinner with you! (Complete with a magnum of champagne).
… The person who was the most experienced sky-diver on the plane with me last Saturday morning was an 88 year old Granny. She kissed me on the cheek right before she jumped. She pays 15 bucks for her plane ride, and Dude, she was an awesome sight leaving the Otter! I will post a pic of her as soon as I can get permission.
It’s a great birthday/Christmas/anniversary present, sweetie! I saw a lot of wives after I landed waiting on their spouses to come down, and it it was a present for them as well. Do it and enjoy it. Watch the video a thousand times with your guy and know that when you tumbled out of that airplane, you faced your greatest fear and conquered it!
Guess I had better sign out of this thread before I get accused of promoting Sky-Diving here in Georgia! :eek:
