FlyinNover

1. Whats your name? Michael, or Nover, Uncle Mike, MC, M-Sizzle, and once, "The Defendant." 2. How old are you? 27 in two weeks. Which I guess means I'm 26. 3. Why did you decide to start jumping out of airplanes? Heights never bothered me, speed never bothered me. I'm the guy who always wants the window seat and stares at the view the whole time. Bungee jumping was cool (18th birthday with Dad), but just left me wanting more. 4. Are you single or taken? Married? Single 5. Do you have kids? No, but I'm a great damn uncle. 6. What do you drive? '97 Wrangler. She just hit 90k yesterday. 7. Have you ever done a kisspass? Nope. Still Pre-A. Thankfully, my AFF instructor didn't try. His name is Danny. 8. Where do you live? My house makes a triangle with Philly and New York. 9. Do you have any pets? My roommates have like 60 fish and a chinchilla. I have a few plants. 10. How many jumps do you have? 21 or 23. Not sure if I should count the two tandems I did years before I decided to jump regularly (and years apart from each other, for that matter.) Either way it's not enough. 11. What color eyes do you have? Green, blue, brown, hazel. Why, what do you need? 12. What is your nationality? My ancestors are from several countries that were taken over by the Russians. (But I'm not Afghani.) 13. Have you ever dated someone you met off the internet? Dated? No. 14. Favorite Movie? Godfather 2, Who Is Cletis Tout?, Great Escape. 15. What do you do when you arent skydiving? Work, sell crap on Ebay, and be the Uncle who swings 'em around by their legs. 16. Have you ever BASE jumped? Yeah, chuteless, too. From my roof. Freefall was uneventful, deployment unnecessary, landing unspectacular. 17. If not... do you want to? Yeah. I haven't properly crapped myself in a few decades, so why not? 18. Do you have siblings? 2 sisters and a brother. All older, all married, all parents. 19. Where do you want to travel to the most? The moon. For real. And I'll stare out the window the whole way up. 20. What's your favorite color? blue, green, blue, green, blue, green, >insert color of rental gear's main

They didn't mention it, so maybe he did hit his head again. That plane is at Crosskeys. Where was that tandem done? ---Michael

I was thinking that watching one of the landings, I think it was Bush's. The cameraman had no idea where the tandem was going. They should have just given the camera to one of the videographers. Why no swoops? Brit Hume was doing the play-by-play setting us up to watch a swooper....but none of the Gks did. ---Michael

Wow, they've been on with this for about 5 minutes. GREAT advertising for the sport! And this isn't even Bush jumping. ---Michael

Turn on FoxNews if you can. Fmr. President Bush is jumping today in College Station, TX. They just showed Brit Hume do a tandem with a GK. Bush was going to do a solo (maybe AFF, but FN said solo), but it's windy and he'll do a tandem instead. ---Michael
