yamtx73 0 #1 March 30, 2007 No shit, there I was... standing on the tarmac at Pacific Skydiving Center in Oahu, just in time for the last load of the day (yeah, it was only 11:00 AM).. the plane taxi's down to the end of the runway and the next thing I know we're at 500' and flying across the North Shore. At 1200' I look out the door to see a pair of humpback whales swimming just below the surface and get this big silly grin... yeah, it's going to be one of THOSE days. The climb to altitude was fast and before I knew it the door was open ant it's time to go... a quick check below for traffic and to spot the airport and I'm out in the air... one nice slow 360 shows me everything from the North Shore to Honolulu.. green, striated mountains, deep blue ocean, turquois shallows with reefs.. I'm totally blown away by the view as my body hurtles towards the earth below... I continue my slow turn, just taking the whole thing in.. before I know it I'm down to 4K and it's time to pull for a nice leisurely ride back to the dz and a case of cold beer... yes, it was one of those days.... God I love days like that!!The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #6 March 30, 2007 Had one of THOSE days on Oahu on New Year's day. Watched a cow and a calf during the entire ride to altitude, then watched them in freefall. Sight was so beautiful, I nearly watched it for the rest of my life. It's easy to forget what you are doing when it's that stunning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yamtx73 0 #7 March 31, 2007 Yeah.... some days I do suck.. but it was one fantastic jump... definitely one I'll not forget in many years... and just as a reminder my gear got it's pre-second grass stain... I couldn't think of a more fitting souvenier... Yes, beer was paid for the grass stain too....The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...
