skySue 0 #1 May 13, 2001 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is amazing. We are going straight down. And we make it before the last person who jumped has landed. Incredible ride.
