Greg, Thanks for the information. Unfortunately that kind of drop in temperature is out of bonds for me given my medical condition. Oh well. You all have a great sport. Have fun and be safe. Roger

Thank you all for the information. The wind and low temperatures may be a show stopper for me. The website for my local dropzone advertises an altitude of 9500 feet for their tandom jumps. What is the air temp at 9500 feet? A consult with a flight surgeon is an excellent idea. Thanks again for all of your suggestions, Roger

Hi, I'm new here but I have wanted to jump for a long time. The bad news is that I was diagnosed with a genetic lung disease a few years ago and I am wondering if there is a minimum requirement for pulmonary function in order to jump. I have a doctors appointment coming up and I am going to run the idea of jumping past him then. He cleared me for participating in road racing two years ago so I am hoping that I will be able to jump as well. Any information would be appreciated, Roger in Kentucky
