    Hiya folks, Well, after 15 tandems, working in baby steps, and 2 failed attempts at AFF-1, I finally made it to the door and out! Oh, man, it was awesome, way better than any tandems... Got an "excellent" from my JM and cleared for Level-2. Gonna do that ASAP...while I'm going to take each level one at a time, I just can't wait for that all important Superman exit on Level 7! Everyone from the dz came out to the landing area to see me, rooting for me all the way, some placing bets on the side...will she or won't she??? Everybody I've encountered in these forums, and at the dz have been so supportive and caring...the requisite case of beer seemed hardly enough as a thank you!! Blue Skies everyone!! WahooooooooHoo!!!

    Wow smit, that's really incredible...they don't have parachutes like ours, eh? Did you have to use the round ones? I hear you drop like a sack of wheat!

    What a great story, I loved reading it, especially because my mind plays the same games yours does. I only hope my Level 1 goes as well! Good luck on Level 5, keep us posted! ________________________________________ Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a tiger in the sky!!

    Hey Skylord, your experience sounds a lot like mine. I kept wondering why I would jump, but would keep coming back anyway. I think beneath my fear there was something about it I loved, and I could clearly see that joy in other people's eyes. Congrats on your Level 4!! ________________________________________ Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a tiger in the sky!! Throw down some steaks and run for the hills!!!

    44 and just learning to have fun! Weather permitting, will be doing AFF Level 1 jump Saturday...have 10 tandems under my belt, but didn't discover the joy of flying til my 9th! I'm really looking forward to meeting fellow maniacs, getting tons of info from this website and jumpingjumpingjumping. My AFF instructor has created a crazy woman! Blue Skies,
