selbbub78 0 #1 October 20, 2003 This weekend, i had to take a commercial flight to buffalo. It just wasn't right. I was so anxious to jump out of the plane once we hit about 4K. It just wasn't fair. For skydivers, there should be planes that allow you to jump out, instead of land with a commercial plane. It's just not fair...

PhillyKev 0 #2 October 20, 2003 I used to enjoy flying commercially. Since I started skydiving, I hate the landings. I get nervous and my brain starts screaming "FLARE" as we come in to land. I'd love the option to just jump out and retrieve my luggage later.

It was definitely the weirdest thing, plus being in real seats, and seatbelts not attached to my rig.... It was too wuffo for me. Don't know how i'll make it down to eloy via plane for the holiday boogie without losing it on the plane. Of course, i did manage to find some very nice areas of water that looked great for swooping (granted i can't do that yet, but for others). The commercial airlines should really allow you to choose jump or land with the plane. I'd feel safer landing my canopy, then with the plane.
