Fine by me. I always preferred making my own way to the ground...  |
Each for their own  . I've always wanted to do a parachute jump, would be quite an adrenaline kick I should imagine! My dad thinks I'm nuts, "First you want to be a pilot in a plane, then you want to jump out of a perfectly good one?!" Lol. |
As my old Sergeant once told me "It's the most fun you can have with your pants still on" and he was right.
A few years ago (actually almost 10 already) during one of our Army reunions a bunch of us went parachuting. It was the first time i had ever jumped with a square parachute and Man those things can sure fly! So different from the mc-1s and T10s we used to use in the service.
The coolest part was while i was up there a hawk appeared and took up station on me about 15 feet off to the side, just like a wingman flying in formation. I'd turn and he'd turn right with me. We flew together like that for almost 2 minutes before he peeled off and left. It was one of the neatest experiences of my lifetime.
