Good for you. I remember my first jump in 1992. Nothing like what I imagined. It's an experience you'll never forget.
I definitely don't foresee being able to forget today anytime soon. Especially flipping out of the plane door. I wasn't expecting that at all. 😁

Good for you

I concur, at 16, 50 was ancient. But, it got to be 50 FAST, then blink and 60, now 70 is looming.

Falling out of a plane is NOT in bucket, but anything on the list SHOULD be a top priority.

I pictured you as being one big walking tattoo ;) I went sky diving in college; the first jump was such a blast that when I landed, I gathered up my chute, walked over to the jump office, and paid for a second jump on the next plane going up. One of the best experiences of my life!

My friend welcome to the side of the second half of life I hope you have. Sorry but heights are not my favorite thing, so jumping out of a plane would not be a check list item, but I have para sailed behind a bunch of wild Mexicans in Cancun before. I drank a lot more in those days. I turned 69 in June- make myself walk a couple of miles a day and if I go to Walmart- park way out and walk another mile just shopping. Then I practice memory work with a bunch of Masons a couple times a week and we do degrees for smaller lodges all around the state which helps keep my mind working. Keep yourself moving and keep the old man out.
