anybody skydiving here?
 
I'm just wondering how many pilots are skydiving as well...
how many jumps ?

1 tandem jump so far, hope to get more of them, maybe an accelerated free fall program at some point

3 jumps...700+ hours as a jump pilot.

Looking to do more jumping and jumper dumping. Def looking to do more diver driving with the industry being in the shape it's in.

Are you a jumper mx? Where's your home DZ?

No, I'm not a jumper...I just did one static line jump back in 2007..at Skyknights Sport Parachuting in East Troy Wisconsin....

I hope to get more jumps and get into jumpers dumping soon...

knees in the breeze
 
I have about 1500 skydives but have been pretty in active for the last two years. was doing tandems and wingsuit flying and got into base jumping pretty hard back in 05. but have slowed down since moving back to alaska getting engaged and flying floats part time. moving back to the states this summer (michigan) and hope to get my knees in the breeze real soon. good luck it a great way to kill alot of time and money.

So (32.174 ft/sec 2) isn't good enough? ;)

That's cool...I've talked to a person or two connected with Skyknights...do you plan to go back there to fly?

Did you jump in Michigan? Most of the diver driving I've done so far was for Skydive Tecumseh up in the Great Lakes state...very fun DZ...supposed to be getting an Otter for the summer.

Skydive Tecumseh was my first job 14 years ago. Great start at flying so glad i did not have to teach!
