I rode down in the plane!

Recommended Posts

I haven't been able to jump for 3 weeks (torn deltoid), so I've been practicing my packing, but since it's a bit frustrating I thought I'd try a ride up and down. Our pilot loves to play and when I asked him he was more than happy to do what he does best! After the tandem and AFFs had exited we had an absolute ball - I have no idea what he did (what it was all called) but it sure felt great! Part of the time I was pinned to the floor, then I was almost floating, watching the horizon spin, diving toward the ground, screaming into the clouds. I was smiling, screaming and laughing the whole time - fabulous fun. If you are one of those jumpers who hasn't ridden down in the plane - well you've gotta try it, with the right pilot of course.
Go for it ALL,
Sue

i know what ya mean about the wild ride...one of the liots at my dz turned around one day and said some stuff the the other jumpers, only think i cought with my bad german was the word "bored". next thing i know the other guys are holding thier helmets out and we start to pull negitive g's.. then the pilot pulls back and we go into a half loop, then he rolled right and nosed the plave over... and this was a c206 with 5 jumpers on board!!!! man that was wild.... i din't expect it at all.... a friend of mine went for an observation ride on the casa i jumped once...he said it scared the hell outa him when the last jumper left.....they beat me down to the ground and i was in the middle of the load!!!!

I have done observation rides in our Super Otter. It is amazing. We are going straight down. And we make it before the last person who jumped has landed. Incredible ride.
