Exclamation Yeee-haaa!

The Air Force had to train us for parachute landings, but thought "why wear out or risk an airplane?" So they had us face into the wind with a couple guys holding the canopy open, tied our harness to a jeep bumper with a long rope, gunned the engine, and said "RUN!!"

fbh, I'd like to meet your wife! I think she and I have a lot in common. If you guys are ever in Seattle, maybe we can go jumping together.

Cubdriver, I haven't quite given up on the idea yet. Just need to find a block of time to do it.

tom, the Air Force and I are like oil and vinegar. I will never get very far there, assuming it even wants someone like me, which I know it doesn't.

I would think about it if the price was right and I wasn't on a trip...
