I did one a few years back. It is a whole lot different than a static line out of a C130.
Good on you Vent.

Yes, I am a Baptist, and yes I carry a gun. You might think I carry a gun because I don't trust God. Well you would be wrong. I have complete faith in my Lord. It is mankind I have no trust in

Hell NO! My big butt stays here on the ground. Gravity is a bitch. Happy Birthday Vent.

Happy birthday! So glad you enjoyed it! After the 'chute opens it's quiet isn't it? That was the first thing I noticed. Except for the guy on the ground telling us to "Check canopies!".
I'm not paid to do it anymore so no thank you. Plus I heal slowly today. My mindset is the same, but the body has gotten brittle.
GDS, I never liked jumping out of the c-130. I loved the C-141, and any of the choppers, but the C-130 always kicked my butt from the propwash. I knew I'd always have twisted risers and was never disappointed. There aren't that many of us with a P at the end of our MOS, so good to "meet" you.

Re: Turned 50 and I did this!!
Thanks for the wishes!! Funny thing....I'm afraid of heights. Get me on a freeway overpass looking down, and my legs literally go numb. But I've always told my wife, get me in a plane and I'll jump that sumbitch! And I did it, and loved every second!!
