I'd like to try that one day....one day a long time from this one.

It'd be cool I think but, it's one of those things that you just have to make yourself do.

I did it for my 30th birthday. I had a blast! I did a tandem jump, which probably was a good thing. The best part was, as we approached the drop zone, the instructor I jumped with had me 'stage' by the door. So, I basically hung outside the door, looking straight down for about 30 seconds, or so. Talk about a view! 16,000 foot jump!!

I kinda did it too so that I could say two things- I jumped from a perfect good plane and sank a perfectly good ship.

It is something I have always wanted to do. I have no desire to hang from a rubber band but to free fall towards the ground and jump out of a perfectly good aircraft has always been a dream.

I didn't like bungee jumping. Not my thing, although I did it quite a few times b/c I was able to go for free.
